Taking a step back and speaking objectively, JB isn't the issue.I agree with you, and I'm a big fan of Jeff. However, when you take a step back and look at the entire university objectively, you see concern.
Purple Haize wrote:Which is what I've been saying. I realize just because you spend the money it doesn't mean you're going to win. If that was the case the Yankees would win championships every year. But when you spend so much more than your competition you expect to have consistent success at a high level. That's isn't happening. We can't even show up for the biggest game of the year.Jonathan Carone wrote:Now that is truethepostman wrote:I realize that money doesn't equal success but if it doesn't you better expect changes to be made.Money doesn't equal success but it does equal expectations of success.

fun fact Liberty could've had Scott Satterfield who actually interviewed for the job but nope went with with an average coach who happens to be a big name. oops
LUconn wrote:Would you guys be happy with where we're at if he took a pay cut?Not at all. However, it wouldn't be nearly the failure it's been had we not invested so much money in it. Still would've been a failure, just not as extreme.
LUconn wrote:Would you guys be happy with where we're at if he took a pay cut?No way he's taking a pay cut. So seems kind of pointless to entertain.

Class of 20Something wrote:It seems there is agreement that his time needs to be over. The question is, who has the "Liberty Character" that Gill brought but has the winning formula? Do we get a recruiter that can make us win in the trenches with the big boys? Would we rather win by sheer force of a defense?You realize he did the same thing at Richmond that Gill did here, right? Riding the coattails of the previous coach.
My eye is on Mike London at Maryland. Assistant Head Coach (Not HC in Waiting) making 300k per year. Halfway through a two year contract. He fits the mold of LU and brings a lot to the table. He also already has a strong relationship with VA high schools.
