All contracts have ways for one party or the other to exit. But I suspect Coach Layer is secure for the time being.

This is why you are at the top of the Lynchburg sports scene ahead of Dennis Carter

I wish it hadn't taken DC so long to get on the LU bandwagon. Back when I was in town, his nightly shows were nothing but EC Glass and Heritage with some UVa & VT thrown into the mix.

Because when you were here more people attended Glass and Heritage then attended Liberty. You also had more Glass Heritage UVA and Tech Alum in the area than Liberty. Those demographics are changing and thus so is the coverage. On a side note he was at just about every Heritage girls game last year.....

We had 5000 residential students my freshman year in the Fall of '85 and it grew every year from that point on. So I am not buying that angle. Keep in mind I have a bit of knowledge how to stack a show even in a small market. I am glad to see he finally came around.

On the other hand, Chris has done an outstanding job from the get-go. He is major market in terms of writing. Sadly the major markets don't offer many opportunities these days. We are blessed to have him covering us.

I'll assume that 5k number is 'Liberty Math' I know you know how to stack a show which means you'll give coverage to the areas that treat you right. I like Lang a ton and he's very good at what he does. Finishing 2nd to Dennis Carter is not a bad thing. So take your Carter hate elsewhere.
(also remember he got 'promoted' to the Tech beat, which shows how the paper rated us)

We had over 2500 freshmen arrive on campus in the Fall of '85 on a wave of Pastor's scholarships. The 5000 number was legitimate after having only around 2750 on campus just a few months before our arrival. Those were heady days for the school.

And my question now is whether this thread will bring Libertine out of his hiatus to lambast me one last time for not worshipping at the altar of Dennis. For the record, he does a nice job these days whenever I am in town.

Dennis Carter is a Legend. Lang could be.

The funny thing about DL's contract status compared to the coach that was removed in '07 --- Barber made a comment in the article that said 'He could have won the tournament and it wouldn't have made a difference' --- or something like that.

And now apparently winning the tournament last year after finishing 10 of 12 saves DL's job... AD's are funny guys & do funny things especially when it's their guys that they hire.. They'll give them far more losing leeway. But I suspect LU has a good conference season, with High Point in disarray the North is very winnable.

You are only giving part of the story. Barber also said it had more to do with off the court issues. Which is why winning the Tournament wouldn't have mattered.

When you want to fire a coach you can always find dirt or just make something up. You know that PH.

Oh, the BR Lakin scholarships! LU lured me away from Marshall U. to teach in Lynchburg that year: I was one of SEVEN English faculty hired in the fall of 1985, most of whom were hired to teach freshman English.

Agreed. But that wasn't the case.

Im not impressed with dc. Ill take lang everyday. I do think its absurd to extend someone based off the tournament. With the info out there that we have now (thanks to lang) its obvious hes not going anywhere. Im just dissappointed in the approach that several of our coaches take in that we should be shocked almost if we beat delaware on the road.

COUGH.. (Rabbit Trail)

And this furry rabbit made its way bouncing from Lynchburg down to Argentina.

I spent a couple of months in Argentina. Great wine in the Carolina region, excellent beef and I still have the leather jacket I bought down there (actually my nephew does )

[Sly Fox]

I have several clients down there but haven't made the trip yet myself. Hopefully I will this year.

Incidentally, what did Della wear?

Àlthough Elena Della Donne would look good in anything

In the late 80's and early 90's, the number was still very close to 5,000. Growth didn't happen until additional housing was added.
