coach

[letting you know]

All coachs gone....

[HarrisburgFlame]

I hate to see that for the coaches and their families. It will be tough Saturday knowing you don't have a job after the game. I pray they all land on their feet.

Sometimes change is good for everyone.

[thesportscritic]

I hope that they are able to find work somewhere because they need to support their families. As harrisburgflame says, "change is good for everyone."

[kyle swartz]

I really feel sorry for some of the assistant coachs.

[jimflamesfan]

... I do hope things work out for Karcher and the rest of the coaching staff, and Dr. Park. I hope they find positions where they are happy and can utilize their skills...we will certainly need to pray for the whole staff...outgoing and incomming.

Now...Just a couple of accomplishments that they did bring to LU in the last 6 years...

1. SAM GADO (GO GADO GO)
2. Beat Hofstra
3. Cool comeback agains VMI a couple of years ago...

Best wishes to them as they move on

P.S. How do we know any of these things are true (i.e. coaching staff leaving, AD resigning...I haven't seen anything on the official site).

[PAmedic]

sources. Reputable sources.

[thesportscritic]

That site (libertyflames.com) is not reliable anyway. I am happy that we have this board to share information like this and other stuff.

[PAmedic]

it'll hit that site no earlier than late Friday- so everyone can clear outta the offices for the weekend before the phones start ringing off the hook.

the old late Friday press release. Do it myself when our dept has bad news to put out

[aunt]

Yes true. Wish them all the best, I always feel for anyone who has to go thru a big change in life. Sometimes thing work out for the better.. Hope all of the team handles the change well. Auntie Ann

Is it normal for all coaches to go? They must have someone lined up.

[PAmedic]

Its normal in MOST job applications. You bring in a new regime- they have their people. Even the most well intentioned companies avoid mixing old and new except in rare circumstances- easy to "poison the well" if you will.

[aunt]

You are right Medic, probably Friday afternoon. It is definitely true though. I am surprised before the last game, but I guess since the team all will be leaving and such for Thanksgiving Weeked. Who do you think next coach will be? Ann

[PAmedic]

Tell your boy Brock to hang in there- good times are ahead.

I'm sure they have ALREADY had a team meeting- or the seniors BETTER be in the process of setting one up.

[HarrisburgFlame]

Some members of the staff maybe given a shot to interview with the new head coach. But you can guess how that goes. I had to do that once myself. but instead of hanging around for the interview - I found another job at another school.

[aunt]

The coaches told them this evening. I know Brock really was fond of Bif Parsons Thanks for the kind words.

[HarrisburgFlame]

Well I hope the guys send Coach Karcher out on a winning note. I think it would speak volumes going into next year. If ever there was a situation where a team should lay down and play dead it's our team this Saturday. What would it say for these kids and their coaches to rise up, fight like heck and bring one home to close things out.

[aunt]

I totally agree. I hope the boys end on a high note. A win would be a great end for a tough year. Ann

[PAmedic]

NO INJURIES

[FHSFlash]

Don't you think that this gives the coaches a jump on finding another job......by letting them go before the Convention? Arkansas State announced over the P.A. that the coaches were fired during the second half of their last game. a couple of years ago. How hard would that be? Our prayers will be with Liberty and the new coaches, along with the old staff.

[seanspeaker]

First of all...

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]HALLELUYAH!!![/glow][/shadow]

(insert the most over-the-top celebration you could possibly imagine given a thousand years to do so here)

OK, I'm better now. ;D
On a more serious note, although I am overjoyed to know that our football program finally has a future again,I am actually sad to see KoachKenKarcher leave. (gasp) (FoxNews starts reporting live from the scene) I actually like the man and think that he is the best coach in the NCAA...

off the field.(hahaha LMBO ROFL made you think ;D) He ran a mostly clean ship that was actually up to LU standards in conduct. How many coaches could do that?
I would actually like to see him stay on in some capacity... maybe as QB coach.

Cannot wait to see who Pastor Falwell has lined up. So excited!

[coastal89]

Please. And I mean i'm begging you all. Please hire Jamie Snider, the OC at Coastal, as your new head coach.

[Supa J]

Amen

[Sly Fox]

Its funny, 89. That's the same thing we're hearing from FSU fans.

[dale]

Maybe the OC from Bama. (sarcastically)

[krh44]

I am worried that they will get some top asst coach like they did with Hankinson. I think we all know how well that worked.

[PAmedic]

I'm keeping thoughts to myself here- but, knowing how much faith Jerry has- I expect something very BIG

[settingitstraight]

Just so everyone knows, the reason nothing was posted on www.LibertyFlames.com early (Thursday night/Friday morning) is that everything has been handled by University Relations and not athletic media relations, who handles that site. The News and Advance was promised the exclusive on Friday morning and therefore, nothing was released or posted until then. Also, the post that ended up on the website was written by University Relations and was only posted when they allowed it to be. Nobody was ducking phone calls! I work in there and the phone rang off the hook all day.

[PAmedic]

believe me, we don't blame you guys (who I'm sure work your butts off there.)

we're all hoping LU gets control of that site in the near future and poss bring it in house.

Although I get what you mean with that (and I'm not trying to call you out)-I think it's definitely worth considering the fact that there are some good assistant coaches out there that would be an AMAZING asset to our team ESPECIALLY if it were a big name coach. Honestly, we don't really have anywhere to go but up from here-I guess we could potentially lose to a D-II school next season and go 0-11, but we had pretty much the worst season EVER this season and I will pray for God to eliminate the football program if we do worse than what we have done. I also think it's kind of silly to generalize like that in any regard be it a top assistant coach, a D-II coach, or Lou Holtz himself-it's poor logic to say "Since we had a crappy situation before-it would be the very same if we got the same category of coach (top asst.)"

Like I said, not trying to call you out or offend-just don't agree. I hope we get the biggest and the best out there. I'm sure Jerry's ready to put up the big bucks, bc I'm sure he's embarassed at the situation of things (especially since he said he was the one who made the final decision on KK's extension).

I want to see us dominating our competition, period-whether it's a high school coach from the boondocks or a Lloyd Carr from U-M (bc after today's game he could be looking for a job BOO OSU!) and I'd like to see it happen while still keeping our values.

[PAmedic]

had a thought today (happens once in a great while) that no matter WHO inherits the reins- recruiting at D1AA LU is NOT gonna be as easy as it would be at, say Notre Dame or FSU or any D1A school.

we have talent- but maybe in smaller amounts- so its going to be a challenge.
