Barber has been an excellent AD. I think our sports programs, as a whole, are in the best shape that they've ever been in.

Geez. He totally reconfigured the basketball arena to appease you guys, the least you could do is show some gratitude.

Don't lump him with the rest of us.


And redoing the arena wasn't his thing.

This will be AD Barber's biggest hire to date imo...

1. Expectations have been raised this year
2. The last week has been a PR train wreck and we badly need a coach who can hold together a recruiting class and calm the populace of this board (myself included). No RD or MH hires but a Danny Rocco kind of hire...

Jerry Jr. will get us a great coach here - believe that!! We will upgrade and it won't be JA. Maybe our next coach will actually believe in defending the three and the positives of having a post presence.

How does a dude who leads a team to the schools first twenty win season and seemingly has a better future just walk away after three years? Just to get a bigger paycheck? If so then all the stuff he said when he came here was a lie, and we know what happens to liars. Revelation 21:8 haha jk jk (kind of)

What is a 'Danny Rocco' hire? Someone young, hungry and who has cut his teeth working as an assistant head coach... and now gets his big break?
Because you could describe Ken Karcher the same way.

1. young and hungry
2. strong vision for building a program and able to inspire others to join him
3. faithfulness and integrity to see a task to completion
4. sees Liberty as a good fit for himself and his family personally and professionally.

I was thinking the same thing. Ken Karcher was the darling of the administration and AD alike...he just couldn't coach football.

Then wouldn't it be someone who could actually coach a team. Come on guys, its not that hard to figure out what he meant by that.

I'm absolutely shocked. Horrified. Had to come here to confirm it. And what's worse is, I can see this possibly in the future for us once Matt Brady becomes successful... :(

Until you can consistently stop that style, don't knock it. And he helped developed the game plan that beat you guys twice by about 50 combined points and UK with Patrick Patterson and Stpehenson with us have a ZERO post presence. Not saying he is the answer, but your logic doesn't have much reason right now.

Yeesh, you know it's bad when a VMI guy is talking junk. I guess that once in 25 years decent season went to his head.
