She is going to continue to manage the National Training Center in Florida.

That´s 2 full time Jobs 1000 miles apart. She says she isn´t worried because she´s ¨good at multitasking¨

At softball games.

How long will it take to get assistant coaches? They should have a lot of resumes for the Head Coaching spot? Maybe one of them wants to be a part of a top program?

[ballcoach15]

Should not take very long to finalize coaching staff. Coach Richardson probably already knows who she wants as assistants.

Key thing now is get new stadium built, so that it will pay dividends in recruiting.

Hopefully LU will get some SEC teams on schedule in near future, maybe even some PAC 10 also.

Absolutely LOVE the headline of this article:

Softball legend Dot Richardson accepts coaching post at Liberty
FRANK JOLLEY | Staff Writer frankjolley@dailycommercial.com
“...I am extremely excited and deeply humbled for the opportunity the Lord has presented to be a part of the Liberty family, as the head softball coach,” Richardon said. “The Liberty Way of ‘Training Champions for Christ’ speaks to my soul and defines the true definition of coaching and working with student-athletes. As the head coach for Liberty Softball, I can say without hesitation, that I and my staff a r e committed to serving others with the focus and goal to glorifying the Lord through the gifts and opportunities He has given each of us and our players.

“I invite all to follow and enjoy Liberty Flames softball and experience with us what the Lord has in store for building champions for Him both on and off the field.”

Names to keep an eye out for on the assistant coach front:
Lisa Fernandez
Michele Smith
Julie Smith
Crystl Bustos
Stacy Nuveman
Jenny Finch
A lot of those are probably longshots but certainly people to think about

Leah O'Brien-Amico ‏@leah20usa 3h
@DrDotShortstop is the NEW Head Coach at Liberty University!!! I'm so excited for all that God is going to do with this team!!

one name possibility.

anyway biggest hire by JB and a nice one! one of the biggest name in the game.

Ah yes...I forgot about her...and I got my picture taken with her when she visited Liberty a few years back

Heard that a former Virginia Tech All-American wants to throw her hat in for an assistant coach position at Liberty (actually was very interested in coming to Liberty before ending up at VT)

Assistant colleges have been selected and were recruiting at the Legacy Showcase in Atlanta this past weekend.

[Sly Fox]

Thanks for the heads up and welcome to the board!

[sofla]

New coaching staff is already paying dividends. Well over 100 high school players coming to the Prospect Camp in two weeks.

[BJWilliams]

That's called hitting the ground running right there. Good thing we have the intramural fields over there because it sounds like we are gonna need the space

[PAmedic]

from JB; looks like we're checking out design ideas for the new field

Headed to LSU and Baylor today to see their softball stadiums with Dot Richardson, Bob, Paige and others

[Sly Fox]

And they are coming to Texas to do it! Granted, it is just Waco. But it is the Lone Star State!

The preceding was primarily for the benefit of the previous poster.

[PAmedic]

whatevs

[BJWilliams]

Hey now Sly...no need to turn your Fox nose up just because they arent heading to the altar of Cat Osterman for ideas

[Purple Haize]

Is that a Guridy sighting?

[Kolzilla41]

His legs are taking up the rest of the cargo space

His legs are taking up the rest of the cargo space :I chortle audibly.:

I'm not sure I would fit on Falwell 1!

[BJWilliams]

Id probably freak out in there since Im somewhat claustrophobic

[JK37]

Is that a Guridy sighting?

Barely. Never knew he was so adept at hiding.

[ballcoach15]

I had the opportunity to meet Coach Richardson at football game Saturday.

Great personality.

[Sly Fox]

She certainly is proving to be a great asset to the university.

[PAmedic]

wonder if she can fix my bad rotator cuff

[flameshaw]

wonder if she can fix my bad rotator cuff

Maybe if you stand on a ladder.

The recruiting camp this past weekend was fantastic. The new coaches coming to LU has definitely started a buzz about Liberty softball. There were 150 girls at the camp coming from all over the country. The talent level at the camp was much higher than in the past with several girls certain to be recruited by SEC and the better ACC teams. Maybe the most impressive feature of the camp was having AD Jeff Barber there and speaking to the players and their parents. The AD told the crowd that these coaches, the new stadium and raising the players' level of play accordingly will make Liberty a frequent participant in the College Softball World Series in Oklahoma City with the goal being to win a National Championship! That got all of the girls and parents fired up to see that Liberty is all in for softball. Another great feature of the camp was the involvement of every player on the LU softball team. The current players were extremely friendly and helpful to the recruits. By the end of the day if there were any of those talented recruits who didn't want to play for Liberty they were very few. All of the 2014 commitments were there and are solid in their commitments and wanting to be a LU right now!

Looks like Dr Richardson had paid major dividends without even coaching a game at Liberty. This is one time I look forward to Friday the 13th (with the invitational coming this weekend)
