WOSgrad Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Apparently, 99.9 FM has been reporting that Liberty has named Bob Bellard, son of legendary coach Emory Bellard, to be the new defensive coordinator at Liberty.Anyone know anything about this?

PANTHERPLAYA09 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm trying my best to remember who the previous DC was....I could have sworn that Deal was doing three jobs..DC HC & AD...Am I right or WRONG AGAIN? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANTHERPLAYA09 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 And as far as Bellard is concerned...it makes sense. He coached at Bryan with Deel...http://www.kbtx.com/sports/headlines/Bob_Bellard_Joins_Football_Staff_At_Liberty_Will_Be_Panthers_DC__156904135.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasminuteman Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 They needed to do something.Now maybe that third spot in district and the playoffs are a little more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookEm2013 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Liberty went 7-3, with a last minute loss to Cleveland. I can see them getting second. Aaron Mosley is emerging from what I've been hearing and all their other skill players are back with the exception of qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty's record last year was inflated last year by playing extremely weak pre-district games. They lost to Huffman by 20 and Huffman returns 15 starters. Liberty lost their QB and 4\5ths of their Oline. The might have had a small chance to pull an upset if Fitz was still there, but he's gone and so is their hopes of getting second.

Texasminuteman Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'd be happy with third and if we could somehow slip by Huffman that would be really great.But fact is coach Deel is coach Deel and has always found ways to flub up a important game. :-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a good QB and wrs you always have a passers chance, and if Standish is as good as you say then that is still true for Liberty. I still think Huffman is the favorite over Liberty, but anything can happen on Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's not Standish matching Fitzwater that I believe gives them a chance, it's the fact that Standish isn't as good as Fitzwater so the Panthers will run more, and I believe that's what the offense needs. Huffman is still the favorite for second I would say, but I am by no means counting Liberty out. And even with the QB change, the Panthers should still throw almost as much just no as much, which is what could of made the difference last year if they would have kept the ball on the ground in short yardage key situations. Last year the coaches failed to utilize Fitzwater and Antoine ( 6ft6 and 6ft ) in the short yardage run game, those guys could have fell forward for the yards needed, rather than pass on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and short.

AOO7 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Aside from all of that back to the topic of the thread, I heard the DC is a really good coach. From what I've been hearing he's actually the defensive coordinator ON THE FIELD, the past 3 seasons Deel seemed to lead the D in practice and on the field. So even if he isn't all they say is, the Panthers should be in a better position on D with a coach who finally only has the one priority rather than Deel being the head of everything, and that's something they'll need as the D does look weaker than last year from what I saw.
