I assume the conversation with Freeze and Nkemdiche went something like this:
If I can’t play in the bowl game I’m bouncing coach.
Well Robert, weren’t you turning pro anyway?
The former top-ranked high school player in the country, Ole Miss defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche will turn pro, after being suspended from Ole Miss and the upcoming bowl game.

During the 2015 season, Nkemdiche totaled 26 tackles—including seven for loss—along with three sacks, and will likely be utilized everywhere as a pro.
