[BJWilliams]

I got out of the spying game after the McKay incident a few years ago...that and I am trying to finish a project for one of my seminary classes that is due tomorrow morning

[thepostman]

come one beej if you didn't have that project to work on you would be there!! Its what I have grown to expect. I am glad you have your priorities in order.

[jbock13]

So if anybody is in the Roanoke area..cough cough jbock, It wouldn't be a bad idea to go hang out at ROA and see if anyone interesting gets off a plane in GA. You know if you have a little extra time over lunch.

Sorry 09, I left ff.com for 2 hours and all this happens. lol

Gill spotted trying to figure how to wash his hands in the Williams stadium men's room. jbock go help the man out.

[Cider Jim]

I know this is basically over, but Houston Nutt is available. I know Sly loves the Nutt boys. If you remember about 7 or 8 years ago Dicky Nutt spoke in Convo one day and coached his baskteball team to a win over us that night. He's got a killer resume.

Per Chris Lang
"Can confirm that former kansas coach turner gill is on campus at Liberty. He just walked into the press tower."

[RVAparks]

I know this is basically over,

What's basically over?

[ALAFlamesFan]

Now we will test the long used boast "If we can just get them on campus..."

Unless you know something more than the fact that he is on campus, I'd say it's way to early to conclude it's "over". Clearly there is mutual interest and he will no doubt be interviewed. That's far from a hire. I for one will be disappointed if we hire a coach without bringing at least 2 or 3 candidates to the mountain.

[BJWilliams]

Well based on this comment from Lang:

I'm hearing that there won't be a parade of candidates coming through town, as campus visits will probably be limited to the top one or two candidates for the job.

Id prepare to be disappointed if I was you

[jbock13]

All you have to do is keep watching for Falwell Aviation flights

I agree, if Gill wants the job then you have to strike while the iron is hot. There are other schools that will likely be interested in him also.

If I'm Gill I'm taking my time. If I'm Barber I'm likely trying to get him to sign tonight.

[Sly Fox]

Guys, this could be done very quickly. The only disappointment is that the school could have saved a good deal of money on the search by hiring me instead. I had Turner's name spit out of my mouth before we even had the Rocco team meeting. If this holds up, I'll feel like LUconn for a day.

Frankly if all of the advisors are pointing toward Turner and you think the interview has gone exceptionally well, there's not a ton of reasons to drag out the process when he could potentially begin putting a staff together sooner rather than later. Hiring assistants during this free-for-all period is tough.

All that said, we could very well be lining up interviews for tomorrow based on some secondary reports. So until we hear that this is done, I would avoid assumptions.

I'll give you 2nd, If we are going to be blowing our own horns I believe I beat you to the name Turner Gill by 20mins and 2 post on page 1 of this thread. Not that anybody is keeping track but you did jump on the Gill bandwagon early Sly.

So LU if you need a little more background feel free to let me know, Also I'm local.

Too bad! You work for Sly & Associates. I don't fully understand these consulting agencies, 95% of the time it seems as if they just get "no brainer" guys. I mean they did they Arkansas St search too and came up with Guz Malzahn? Another no brainer.

I'm just glad that the aborted splash & dash in Kentucky allowed me to post the "Get on the Train" video.

not to mention the quad city djs. any excuse for that is a good one

PS: candidate for thread of the year here. May actually rival the Liberty Couple thread

[ballah09]

Former Liberty University head coach Danny Rocco thinks the day is coming when the Flames makes their first appearance on Virginia’s football schedule. However, he’ll be seeing the Cavaliers a little sooner than that. Rocco, introduced Dec. 7 as the new coach at the University of Richmond, will make his Spiders’ coaching debut Sept. 1 when Richmond opens its season at UVa’s Scott Stadium. He’ll be returning to David A. Harrison Field for the first time since November 2005, when he was wrapping up his fifth season as linebackers coach and associate head coach under Al Groh. In all likelihood, the opposing quarterback will be his nephew, Michael Rocco. Michael Rocco is the son of Lynchburg Christian coach Frank Rocco, who probably will be in the UVa parents’ section, not cheering for his brother. “Oh, I’m sure he won’t,” Danny Rocco said. “Hey, my daughter won’t be rooting for me either. I’m a big boy. I can take it.” Rocco’s daughter, Amy, is in her first year at UVa and already has inquired about a job in the UVa football office. “They’ve got her brainwashed up there,” he said. “She’s on board.” (Bullet) As for a potential UVa-Liberty match-up, “sheer numbers, all of a sudden, are pushing that to 2016 [or] 2017,” Rocco said. “I think in the not-too-distant future, [the Flames] will make an announcement about making a move to FBS. How long it takes to get that done is out of my hands.”
