Yes. But, staff changes on special teams. Maybe also OL, and secondary. Finally, I get the sense that this staff badly needs a "details guy" and doesn't have one.

You have never been more wrong on a subject than the agenda you are pushing right now. It's an emotional response to a very VERY poor season. This isn't typical Liberty - I get the catchphrase after SIU loss - but not this. This is something different and something worse. The players have quit, not the coaches.

Not at this point.

He is the man for the job at Liberty which means he'll never win the big one. It is what it is.

I came around to Gill being the guy with the run at the end of last season. He's making me want to go back to my original position of him being a career loser before he was hired. Great guy, hopefully he can get it figured out quickly.

And there aren't on field issues?

Gill is the right guy for this university - no doubt.

Can't win if you can't run. Coastal's last 4 years have been great - 2 years with Lorenzo Taliaferro and 2 with DeAngelo Henderson. Makes their QB look good.

I'll be willing to give him next season. if the same thing occurs again I think it might be time to cut the cord. if we lose to Kennesaw State at homecoming... Cut it monday morning.

This was the year though. Next year we have a new QB, lose our all-time WR, and replace both running backs.

If he can't do it with those guys as seniors, what makes us think he can do it with younger guys?

I agree with this.

But why?

If next year is a rebuilding year, why are we going to judge if he's our guy on a rebuilding year?

Why not cut our losses and let the guy who we trust to lead us in the future lead the rebuild?

We have not even come close to dale layer level of failure. You're an emotional wreck right now. Or just trolling.

Because this is the first time in his tenure I have felt like a team quit on him. If it continues than cut him lose.

No it is not. Our win percentage was awful during layers entire tenure. To compare the two is ridiculous.
