    How do you know that Harrison is not a big opportunity? I don't really know him, but maybe just maybe he is what Liberty needs. I was just wondering what you know about Harrison that doesn't make him a big opportunity. 

    I don't know anything about Harrison other than the fact that his coaching history is limited, at best. Social media seems to indicate he has been given the Athletic Director and Head Coach title, which is even more baffling for a guy who has not one iota of experience in either role. Especially when Karen Slack is right there in house. All I know is this: there was absolutely a candidate on their list, who they interviewed, who has 20+ years' experience as a SUCCESSFUL AD/HC in the SETX area. He would've been a slam dunk hire and gotten folks in Liberty excited about playing football again, especially with the group of young kids they have coming up through the ranks. Unfortunately, they decided to take a different route. Like I said, I am not throwing shade at Harrison, everybody has to get their first job somewhere. I just hope Liberty didn't pass a great opportunity for some reason other than thinking Harrison was the superior candidate.

    Do we have a run-down of Coach Harrison's accomplishments?

    I wish him all the luck in the world, but Liberty missed a big opportunity with this hire. There was another candidate who could've really worked to take that program in the right direction. I guess the decision makers weren't interested in taking that route. Either way, Congrats Coach Harrision.

    Was just told that the DC does not have his masters and some want that to be a requirement for the position.

    This makes sense. I'm hoping "interim" means he is currently working through a masters program and will no longer be interim once that is complete. Otherwise, they're just appeasing the masses until they have a chance to get the next guy. Here's hoping for the best!

    Just the HC  for some reason -   maybe the school board has something else in mind down the line ? 

    Assistant AD title included. Ware wasn't the AD either during his time there. Jeff Nations had that title and it was given to Geoff McCracken when Nations retired back in December.

    Hope little Jerry's dad  knows how to smooth current QB because he's a pure athlete -reminds me  of Jalen Hurts.( very powerful kid just getting stronger every year can play  both ways.) heard he was going to transfer until he found out Ware quit. 

    Foster will still be the focal point of the offense, just from a more dynamic position. He will benefit greatly from the addition of Jr and Dayton could be very very good very quickly. Especially with Prieto getting a jump start on installing his system by starting on March 4. Fun times in bronco land!!

    My sources are telling me that is Jerry Prieto. He resigned in early '23 and didnt coach Crosby in that horrible 2-8 season. Good hire by Dayton. Under Prieto, the Cougars were 36-17, having won two UIL Region II crowns and appeared in two state semifinal games, equaling the number of previous semifinal appearances in 99 years of Crosby football history.

    Same thing I am hearing, but I won't believe it until I see it. If it is Prieto, not only are they getting an elite coach, they're also getting a couple of big time ball players in his boys. They also may be getting a pretty steady injection of Code Red between now and August.

    I don't know who is being mentioned to replace Coach Ware, but I hope we shooting higher than 2-8. Maybe I'm misreading this topic. 

    Or maybe you are misreading the coach being discussed. Inquiring minds want to know, and sounds like we will find out this evening!
