Another edition of the ASOR Mailbag! Thank you for submitting your questions and continue to send them in and we will be happy to answer them in our next feature. You can send them to us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, e-mail, or as a comment on the site. We had a ton of great questions this week, so let’s get right to it.
Did HCJC get an extension after the Fiesta Bowl? Pretty sure HF got one each year (likely to protect LU more than pad his bank account). Curious if that MO has carried over with the new staff?

We posted on the Rumor Mill several months back about this, but, since it appears nothing will be announced publicly, we will discuss it here. We did hear that Coach Chadwell received a raise and extension on his contract at or near the end of the 2023 season, his first campaign leading the Flames. As noted in your question Buddy, this shouldn’t come as a surprise as this is something AD Ian McCaw likes to do each year, especially when the football team has a very successful season. For whatever reasons, maybe Chadwell’s request, it has not been announced publicly.
Scheme wise, what do you expect is added in year two of the Chadwell offense?

Hmm, good question and not something I’ve thought about until now. One thing I’ll point out, the first time I visited Liberty football offices after the coaching change more than a year ago, I was in a meeting office, not far from Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach Willy Korn’s office and in the middle of the meeting I heard Coach Korn scream in excitement and pound his desk. I made an expression on my face and looked to who I was meeting with and they said, “That sounds like a touchdown play!” He was in his office drawing up new plays. I say that to say, it is a definite that the Flames will have some new packages in the offense this coming season. I’m not sure what it will be, but looking forward to see how this offense evolves in year two in what will certainly be one of the top offenses in the country.
Any word on if LU was one of the schools interested in joining Atlantic Hockey before they tabled expansion talks?

I haven’t heard anything about it, but I have asked about Liberty potentially looking to add hockey as an NCAA Division I sport several times, and it is not something that is on the horizon.
Anything you can find out about ea college football like what assets they sent in
