Have to think Hugh Freeze is in play there.

quote:

“It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my retirement from coaching,” Gill said in a statement. “In the summer of 2016, my wife Gayle was diagnosed with a heart condition. Both Gayle and I wanted to be here to help Liberty through their transition and we are so glad to have done so. We have come to the realization that it is now time for me to step away. I can’t put into words how much this coaching staff, support staff and the players mean to us. We are so thankful for President Falwell, Becki Falwell and Ian McCaw and their support during our time here. They, as well as all of those mentioned, have been and will continue to be blessings in our lives. To God be the glory!”


quote:

It’s also worth noting that Hugh Freeze picked Liberty as the spot of his first public appearance since resigning from Ole Miss in the summer of 2017. Freeze and his wife Jill spoke in an engagement opened by Liberty president Jerry Falwell, Jr. in January of this year.

Liberty is maybe the most religious school in fbs. No way on earth they hire freeze.

Their current AD came from Baylor... liberty clearly doesn’t give a crap about perception.

As someone from Virginia who has many many family members entrenched in Lynchburg, they are religious in the same way that Hugh Freeze is. Strictly for their own gain.

Their school honor code is a hilarious read. It's like the script to Footloose.

I halfway expect Liberty to hire Art Briles as head coach and have him pick Hugh Freeze as his OC.

I cannot wait for this year to go by, no one pick up Freeze and it become obvious that all of these rumors are from idiots that think they have an inside source and freeze's agent.

Though I have to say, I am pretty impressed by freeze's agent right now, dude is going hard in the paint with all these rumors.
