I'g going to add
4. What did this coach do right that we want to build upon?
1. Why did this HC fail?
Turner Gill failed to maintain and raise the floor, that is the worst the team could preform.
2. What do we know now about what it takes that we didn't know last time?
Head Coaching experience at the FBS level does not a good coach make.
3. Describe the next head coach we need.
Football needs to be war for our next head coach. The next head coach needs to grab the opponent by the neck and not let go to get a better grip. Our defense has been so spectacularly bad that we need a defensive minded coach. We have the tools in place that a competent OC could utilize efficiently on day 1. The defense needs the most TLC. The next head coach needs to be capable of using a style of play that works even if it isn't their preference.
4. What did this coach do right that we can build upon?
Coach Gill has been the personification of the spiritual expectations of a Liberty head coach. Additionally, this off season the adjustment was made to allow contact in training camp. The effect was obvious in the first game of the season, the players were not afraid to hit.
