Liberty Rumor mill- Jones leaving Kearney
- Thread starter Northlandfootball
- Start date
Did you have to say it here? Why does Little Johnny Culdesac always have to hear this stuff on interwebs? It's going to ruin it for him.
Those are interesting. I don't believe for a minute that Oak Grove would have scored on them, though.
Dains was there but Hays was and still is the OL coach. Dains helped TE/OL but was mainly just Fred's right hand man.
If you're going to be wrong at least spell the guys name right.
Little birdy told me that the almighty dollar has reared its ulgy head and it will be announced soon that Greg Jones will become the next coach at Liberty North.. Sad day here in K-MO....
What would be the pay difference. Don't think there is a big time difference in pay between the two schools.
Who cares about Staley? Liberty North runs the Northland now. Everyone knows Kearney owned Staley, so Staley quit playing them. Jones will do the same at LN.
There's a little disparity on the years of experience. LPS takes 25 years to get 70k with a masters and 30 years to get 60k in KPS. Pretty good difference when retirement comes into the picture. But as an administrator none of that matters.
It will be interesting for sure, have a feeling if he does in fact make the change, that LN will be a major force in very short order. Very interested to see what he does with Van Dyne the young QB. His offense could make that kid very special.
Next Board meeting...

So you all can stop looking at this board.
Yes. Date I heard it would be official is Feb 6th. I'd be surprised if they waited that long though.
AD maxes out at roughly $118k, HFC makes roughly $7k so $125k prediction people made was accurate.

If you call five weeks of hell known as pneumonia a pursuit so be it. I am very glad for Coach Jones...............whether anyone in Kearney likes it or not upward mobility is what any career is all about and if North is offering more (the rubbish on here about the FB culture there is frankly amazing) he would be a fool not to take the position. Given he is inheriting probably the #1 Class 5 team in 2017 with about as promising a QB as I've seen in the Northland in many, many years (VanDyne, a kid with major KTown bloodlines) the Staley folks (you know who you are LOL) should be bracing for the storm to come...................and when not playing KTown I will be rooting for him and the Eagles big time!
Hope you're feeling better Top, you always bring a very good perspective. And yes, Liberty North will be something to watch.
Liberty is not a football town. Call it rubbish, but relative to Webb, Kearney, Harrisonville, and the towns like them (esp. Kearney where FB is the center of everything,) Liberty just says "ehhh" to football. Its just another sport.
That's the case in most bigger places. NKC residents as a whole could care less about Staley, same could be said for LSW, Blue Springs Schools, Football is cool and there is a ton of pride, but there are enough kids for others sports to rule also.
More difficult to get hardcore buy-in ( for a coach's program) from kids in a metro-plex mini-mall megaloplis high school...
No way those Liberty parents buy into Jones work out program they want to go on vacation no can do playing for Jones. Liberty parents have run off a plenty of good coaches in all sports.
Well, if it's a done deal, they are getting one of the best in the business. No doubt about that. That's a good start on changing things, if, in fact, they need changed.
They will buy into safe spaces, soccer games, all sports are equal, beating the Bluejays, Ipads, college prep courses, looking good, and expensive long distance vacations.
I'm also hearing Jones gets to bring 2-3 assistants with him. I believe this is where it gets really interesting for Kearney
The QB is Jake Van Dyne, related to All State Kearney Bulldog Sean Van Dyne that played for the Michigan Wolverines 1983-1986.
Sean Vandyne All state 1982 first team. Yale Vandyne all state 1986. First team. Yale played WR at Michigan...89-91.
All related?
To go along with the theme of this thread: The family must have lost its way and got soft, really soft, and forgot how to work, and sacrifice. So they moved to Liberty North. They are now yuppies and Jones will have to whip them into shape.
In all seriousness, I really don't know the family. Probably a great family, and from what I have heard the kid is a stud.
