I agree, he is definitely a great AD. The interview I felt he said the right things so I think it will work out. It is a tough blow PR wise.

Just a guess, but I think he was hired to over see us going FBS independent in football.

How would going Indy FBS even happen? Realistically speaking there is no mechanism for a school to go FBS Indy from FCS anymore.

This is correct... for now. There is no way currently for Liberty to move up as an FBS independent. What Liberty could do is either get rules changed or get an exemption that would allow them to move up as an independent. The only other option that I can think of is to get a two year football-only membership to a conference which gives Liberty time to move up to FBS through the transitional process.
