It would be a great hire for Liberty, but there is no doubt in my mind his style would irritate some folks who have grown accustomed to the spread and spread concepts. But this year they were more of a run based team than ever.

TW Norman.
I believe he was slated to start in the sugar bowl against LSU as a true freshman at LB and then had a career ending injury of some kind before the game.
He was a big LB coming out of high school. Like 6’3 240. Something like that.
I know when they had the porter kid back around 2010 he ended up with back to back 1400ish yard seasons(I think) if not more but they still threw the ball more I think.
I watched the district championship game against Willow that year. Willow had the lead at half. But lost 26-7. One of the muddiest football games ever.
Spittler would definitely be more their style. But this is another one of those hires that you can’t mess up if you want to maintain the level of success they’ve had the last decade.
It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out.
Man...That girl could play.
Don't sell short he's probably bringing a starting QB/B-Back/ILB with him. Who, at that level, would be an absolute animal.
Just found an article online.
Said he chose Illinois over the likes of UCLA, Notre Dame, Florida and didn’t fully specify but said other SEC, B1G, and then PAC 10 schools.
Here’s that article:

Hopefully that link works.
You’ll have to scroll down to find the paragraph about him.
Also said he had a career ending foot injury in preseason practice.
Other articles I read stated that he impressed the coaches so much in the offseason that he was going be starting on D before his injury.
Excellent. Thank you.Just found an article online.

That changes things.
Will make this hiring situation even more interesting lol
If J. Acklin isn't hired or is hired be interesting to see how all things shake out. MV has a good OC but some in that area are not big fans for reasons unknown so how does he fit in or does he fit in?? Would Little Acklin take over play calling and try to find a DC? Will he Be super Pass heavy? MV was very Run heavy the last couple of years out of gun formations... which IMO was a great adjustment to their talent.
Coach K was the DC gotta replace him and he was a very good one. Literally their D was better than their O this year. Do they have one on staff? Will a Coach Bring one with them? Hire one?
Spittler has done very well at Cabool and is a Good guy and Coach. But does MV have sites on Bigger fish or does he have detractors from his home town. Spittler runs a similar system as MV, but had to morph to a bit more run heavy do to the talent.
Chad D. is in the mix I bet but would he come back to a Small town and would the Family be in for that change? I do believe the Family farm is still in operation so that might be a enticement!
Would the Flexbone be a option(pun intended) in a Spread Heavy town? In the past before Acklin that type of run first scheme didn't fit the abundance of athletic style players..... and it showed in the Win and Loss column. Would he keep the same Scheme and OC?

Hey just a correction he doesn't have a state title under his belt, that was won in 16 he left in 14. He does have to semi final appearances.
Well for starters the Flex is what started the spread, you have two A-backs who are up on the line and can catch, you can spread them out (flex) so it should not be called just the Spread Offense, but the Spread Option Offense—as the name suggests, it incorporates features from the Option offense (QB reads, option pitches) with some features of the Run and Shoot offense (Shotgun formation, QB rolling out). I think they could blend both styles very nicely.
Would be weird to see a fully implemented new system for LMV. They did run more this year, but would still be weird. This is going to interesting to see how it all shakes out. What does Liberty have coming up in regards to underclassman and in middle school?
yep he was a load
got to see him lift when a came home for spring break and that huge cast on his leg
man great link thanksJust found an article online.

I played at Baptist with Rick Scholten
he was the name under tw
He had a broken foot, kept playing in high school, dont believe he actually was able to play at Illinois.
I found a couple of articles indicating that he was practicing, and was listed on their roster for FR and RS-F years, but couldn't find that he got into any games.
The Flex is primarily Under Center or Pistol do to the B back being such a huge Portion of the offense if mid-line and inside and outside veer are not a threat then why run that offense. MV was 100% gun with a two QB system. They did line up in Bunch Set's but I don't recall a double slot look on many occasions. MV used Gap Down,Zone and Reach Blocking... the Flex will use Veer principles. Blending those styles might not be as easy as you purpose. Never a fan of a gaggle offense at the Small school level. Sure their are always cross overs from one offense to the next.... speed option out of gun, Read plays, etc but what MV does and the Flexbone are pretty polar opposites.
I told you guys!! Any day now College Heights announces they have hired John Roderique. All of SW Missouri and SE Kansas open for recruiting. Watch out St. Louis Privates. Doug Buckmaster will be OC.
Your Right, He passed up New Mexico state and college jobs and higher paying opporutnities and left webb to go to a class 1 private school first year program and gave up split back veer for the Buck Spread.
Westran Head Football position will be open by the end of the day per valid source. HC Aaron O'Laughlin stepping away from football to have more time for his family with his second child on the way.

Man, that'd be a huge pay cut...right? He and wife are both teachers. Lindberghs pay scale is ridiculous. Granted, they've got their best three years. Just mulling over the financial side. Other side is, probably make a pretty penny on their house in a sale and lord knows real estate in Jackson is pennies on the dollar comparative to STL county. He's got a couple kids in HS there, right??? Been there a while. Assume he's still got family in Jackson/SEMO area. Whether he stays at Lindbergh or goes home, one of those two places has one heckuva football coach.

Being as close to home as he is for him and his wife, I figure he’ll be at WP for awhile and then probably dip into Arkansas just like Acklin, Ary, and Webber have. Or he may just stay at WP. Who knows?
If he keeps winning, and changes molds the program into his typical type of teams, he may be there awhile.
As far as football, the facilities are good, they’ve got the athletes and they’re a top 3 team in that conference at the absolute least on a yearly basis.
