West Liberty Football 2024

[Sportsnut]

This football program is pathetic. What else can you say?

[WestLibertyTopperDad]

From what information that I could gather (since I refuse to watch or attend another WLU football game until there is a head coaching change), the team looked lifeless and uninspired. Yes, Charleston is good, but sheesh it seems like it was a D2 program vs an NAIA school. Welp there is light at the end of the tunnel and it happens on Friday lol. I will be back on the Hilltop to watch the men's basketball team help me forget all about the that football club team!

If the administration really cared about the football program, they would relieve the head coach of his duties right now and see what you have with the assistant coach as an interim. Let's get ahead of the process and curve because recruiting is going to be of extra importance.

The head coach and defensive coordinator need to go, and probably anyone on the staff that played for them. I know there are at least 1-2 starters that have been told they will never earn a scholarship because their major is specific to WL, and the coaches told them that they can't go anywhere else to get that degree so they don't have to pay them. That's not a good way to motivate people to play hard for you.

The problem is that the DC's wife is the provost and vice president of academic affairs.

Well, seems that the whole coaching staff is the problem. They all have a hand in recruiting...they all have a hand in the coaching the players receive...and they all have a hand in what we see on the field. Fail, fail, fail. None of them have shown they have even the remotest chance to be even a good HC.

Release all of them immediately...let the new AD be the interim HC for the next two weeks and appoint the grad assistants as the OC and DC. Cancel practices (clearly they haven't helped) and just have the starting 22 show up the next two Saturdays. Sunday after next give all players their release.

Bring in an entirely new coaching staff and let them bring in a whole new team. One thing for sure, they can't do worse that what we got going on now.

I’d like to see what Bruney can do with resources

[Layton]

There was their yearly almost beat a decent team game

[Sportsnut]

Roger, close don't count, it was still a loss!

[WestLibertyTopperDad]

I was worried they were going to pull that one out.

[Layton]

Concord has been recruiting like a D3 program don’t think that staff lasts long

Andddddd they’re gone

[boatcapt]

2-9...Not too good.

Heads should roll, but they won't.

[WestLibertyTopperDad]

At a minimum 3 players are already in the portal.

[WestLibertyTopperDad]

There are so many in the portal that the coaches have taken down all of the practice film for the entire season so that they can't get any screen grabs.

The players are voting with there feet. One can only hope that the AD and school administrators will see this and make the appropriate decision. But they won't and Roger will be back next year

[Layton]

The mass exodus begins, end the insanity already?

[Sportsnut]

The AD and President should come out publicly and state their justification of keeping Roger. Alumni and fans have the right to know their reasoning. Any other program coach would have been fired several years ago.
