Hey, we are going to add a bunch of scholarships and pay our players, mostly using money that was earmarked for teams like you. You can suck it up and like it, or you can join us on the dark side? I don't imagine it was quite that blunt but you get the idea. Also, it's Athens. Nobody needs a reason to want to move to Athens. No, liberty has MONEY, they aren’t having to use teams money. “ exceeding 130,000 students for the first time. Total on-campus enrollment stands at a record 15,800 students. Liberty’s online programs hit a record 115,000 students pursuing degrees from across the nation and around the globe.” They have 115,000 students all online so they don’t have to pay for facilities dorms nothing they have adjunct professors that maybe make three or $4000 a class . When cost of attendance came out first school to start paying Liberty was at the front line paying all their teams where other schools currently pay a few of them. The money thing isn’t gonna be a problem for Liberty because of how much money they’re bringing in. Yeah, didn't mention Liberty at all. I said "schools like you." It was tongue in cheek post.

Worst experience of my entire coaching career for a variety of reasons. Sorry to hear that. Passing through it always seemed like a cute, warm place to live.

This move makes sense for Georgia but doesn't make sense to me for Trevor.... This makes me think something else happened there, especially when they then elevated a coach who had been there for barely two weeks to "acting head coach" or whatever the title is. Or is this just me? Hey, we are going to add a bunch of scholarships and pay our players, mostly using money that was earmarked for teams like you.

I don't think Trevor is one of the anti-pay/NIL players side of the fence. In addition, Liberty has more than enough cash to dump into paying players whatever they want anywhere. Like Liberty literally has too much money and easily could have one of the highest budgets for players in the entire NCAA so they're not canning Trevor bc he thinks there won't be money. Most likely outcome is there was a code of conduct violation that wouldn't be anything to anyone at another major university that resulted in dismissal. Despite the recruiting wins he's had, he's kind of squandered a bunch of talent (some to injuries which isnt his fault) but alas the LU Program has high expectations. I don't think Nolan is the long term answer I just think they need to toss a year aside to wait for a better coach.

Saginaw Valley State is collecting resumes
Hamline is reviewing resumes
Midland will start looking at resumes Monday
Rhode Island seemed to take forever before posting. Salary range is 75-80k. In RI that gets you an efficiency apt w/a Murphy bed and a roommate.

Interesting Liberty news out today. Todd Garvey fills the open assistant position that Nolan Albrecht had before being moved up into the acting HC spot. libertyflames.com/news/2024/6/12/womens-volleyball-garvey-hired-as-assistant-volleyball-coach Garvey was an exceptionally successful coach at Jacksonville State where he went 103-39 and left to take the IUPUI job in 2023 but then stepped down shortly after due to personal reasons. Didn't coach in 2023. All things considered, this feels like a strange move for Liberty. Head Coach steps down late in the spring, you promote the assistant you just brought in to acting HC a couple weeks later, but then hire an accomplished HC level guy from a program that's now in your conference as an assistant? Todd was sitting on his ass for the whole year how was he not one of the first calls? Such a strange move but perhaps this is a backup plan if Nolan doesn't run the gym well. Or perhaps guardrails for him to do it well.

Nolan is the ideological fit for this position while his new assistant Todd brings the experience and the wins that will help shape the program. Looks like a win-win for the school and the program.

I don't see where their paths overlap, but my guess would be that Albrecht was talking to someone who suggested Garvey.

Yeah a men's coach at Belmont Abbey doesn't feel like he'd have any relationship to a Midwest guy like Garvey. I personally think it's a slam dunk hire as Garvey definitely has pedigree recruiting and winning at the Mid Major level. Just kinda surprised he wasn't the call in the first place considering Liberty is pretty familiar with him from the ASUN and he was truly just sitting on his ass.
