Texasminuteman Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 The Liberty Panthers are now looking for a new AD/Head Football Coach. Under pressure from the Liberty School Board,Deel was given the option to resign.After another dismal year and grumbling from boosters and parents alike it was time for a change. Who knows who will replace Deel.I just hope he'll be the change we can believe in.
Guest incognito123 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 I'll be curious to see where this goes also. I've heard those same boosters want Joe Slack formerly of HD. There are sure to be plenty of applicants. Chad Taylor, OC at Laporte, is a graduate of Liberty and had applied, and been offered, the Hardin job last year before turning it down. Taylor will probably throw his hat in the ring. This is exciting for Liberty. Everyone loves a clean slate!
hipwader Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Its really sad that Liberty Fans are wanting HD's old coach. Great guy, but if you want to turn the ship around probably ought to go outside the county to find a coach.

I heard rumor Larry Haynes name is in the hat also..

Guest incognito123 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Oh Haynes will be on that opportunity like stink on a ......., but Liberty may want to call over to Hardin and get a few references before they go down that road. I still think that Chad Taylor, or Toby Foreman (who has been mentioned as a possible applicant) should be the frontrunners. There is also a great coach, just down the road from Liberty, that is serving as a assistant at his current school, who would be do wonders to fix the problems Liberty is having. I will not mention his name because his team is still playing. I'd be interested to see if he applies.
dawgs20 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Before you want to send the coach out of town better get some athletes that can play.
Guest Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Slack would be a great hire, as would Sadler.
FARVA Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Liberty will pick another Deel because that will be the easy thing to do

I know it would work, the question is, will the parents let him do his job? My gut feelings is that they will not. Honestly, I"m hoping he doesn't apply. He's doing a great job right where he is.!!

His wife working with him, his son running his offense at QB the next 2 years, his good friend as head coach and his health. Also most important, winning! I would bet his stress level is lower as an assistant. Coach Slack will get the Liberty job.
UTfanatic Posted November 23, 2012 Report Posted November 23, 2012 We surely have some posters qualified for the job.....but would they tke a cut in pay to teach and mold young men. 8)
Txdragon Posted November 23, 2012 Report Posted November 23, 2012 To sum it all up...Liberty wants some Slack, and it's no big Deel. Seriously, though Coach Foreman is a great young coach, he will be a good hire for someone.

The only way he gets to run it two years is if they go to Liberty.

Edmondson would get completely phased out if that happened. Who is he going to take carries away from? Herman? Lavalais? Espree? Redmond? Do we even know if Moseley will be here next year? Liberty has a chance to hire a great coach. Taylor, Foreman, maybe Huckaby...what keeps him from bouncing back to Liberty if they hire a coach who wants to sling it around. His buddies will call him and he will have a decisino to make. I think it's risky to change up everything that has made HD successful this year, to build around one guy who has played two games in a HD uniform. I mean, we will still be running the slot T. We are going to remove a QB who runs it perfectly in order to plug in another guy so we can throw three times a game? I don't think so. I dont' think the coaches are thinking that far ahead. They were focused on this game. I might be wrong, and if i am I will apologize, but this is extremely far fetched.
lp4life Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 liberty will be looking for a proven head coach, sad deel is gone really enjoyed playing for him. thought he was a great guy and coach.
Ryanp Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 ...not sure what the expectations are in Libertycoldspring is coldspringcleveland is a much bigger school with better athleteshuffman has advantages in numbers and facilitieswhich makes liberty the likely 4th place team every year, hire chuck knoll to coach the team and this is still the reality of it.add to that an apparent lack of support from administration (wasnt there a thread on here about how they only have like 7 coaches?)and a lack of community involvement ( ever been to a game? quiet as a church service if anybody bothers to show up)I thought Deel did a good job for what he had.....Didnt set the world on fire in the win column....but he did genuienly care about the players....which was the most important thing to me as a parent....best of luck to him

HIGHpoint96 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 Whats the word on the Liberty job, its been quiet with all the playoff buzz going on.
kacoach Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 It has been pretty quiet, but the school board did meet last night to discuss it. I don't know what all was discussed though.
skipper Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 foreman is outstanding young yes but comes from one of the best programs in the country he worked under the BOSS DAN HOOKS and his father also so he know football he was a stand out player at wo-s but i feel thay will not look at him if he applys
