[/quote] I agree, meet him before. Seems like a good coach (Speights), and heard that from other folks. You seem to be convinced. Don't know Foreman. Seems like all these guys would of at least got an interview. Douglas is at Ozen, that's last I heard. My brother in law felt the same way about Douglas and Jennings as coaches. Just a shame these guys don't get a look when you know they have been considered at other school a little higher up on the food chain than Liberty.

[quote name="OctFeb" post="1369868" timestamp="1360009156"] Oh maybe it's a big secret and they are gonna announce it at the Hamburger Depot  Weekly Show ....  ::) [/quote] Haha, that is what it feels like. Or maybe next years circus/rodeo...  Probably good all those promising young guys didnt get considered. Liberty did them a favor. Be interesting to see who they feel is worthy.

[quote name="Trocket" post="1368600" timestamp="1359663571"] I only got to see Newton play in the playoffs once last year and I was amazed at the amount of talent they had on the field. They really have a great program there to put that much talent on the field for such a small school. [/quote] Saw them in the playoffs that year also, very impressive. Great program.

[quote name="DP8036" post="1368706" timestamp="1359677148"] Brent Walters all the way. No doubt about it. [/quote] I agree!!! BW

[quote name="liltex" post="1369732" timestamp="1359989670"] Liberty will hire outside Liberty roots.They passed on former great Lib qb Donald Douglas whom I believe went on to be the OC @5a Bmt Westbrook nuff said ;) [/quote] I agree, D.D. would of been a great choice. Going outside their own is crazy, they need someone that cares past being a head coach and a pay check. I also heard another X-Grad from 1994 named Jennings applied too. This guy worked for Mike Leach at Texas Tech and has been a college and high school coordinator at several places. Who else are they getting that has that kind of football experience. Didnt Douglas play professionally after his U of H years?? These guys are obviously good coaches or wouldnt have the track records they have if they were not. Amazing Liberty!!
