How many of the McAdams/Tillman assistants will be shown the door?

National search already in progress for assistants.

Nice hire.

This hire marks that Lipscomb is embracing the D2 way.  They saw the hand writing on the wall.  Most people believe in the public league a classification will be removed in football and in the private league the middle division in football will disappear for the next cycle.   Depending on enrollment this could put Lipscomb and CPA etc with the BA, Ensworth, and MBA. The transition Lipscomb will make will still take time because talent must be added to the rosters to compete.  Should be interesting on how this all plays out but it’s a new day at LA. Dilfer is certainly a big time hire.

Just another opinion...most kids are now noticing this recognition on platforms like ESPN and 247. Same platforms that help these kids get recognized for the next level.

Dilfer is not at Lipscomb for the money, he already has it, he’s there for a greater purpose in his life and the life of the players, students, and community.

Dang, I’m guessing the same was said about Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State. Oh those are colleges never mind - be interesting to see how Ensworth will die off without Bowers and how BA is better now then with Flatt. Lipscomb’s history speaks for itself. Were they prepared to jump into DII, nope, most saw the last two years coming.

They fell within TSSAA range at 2a & 3a. Didn’t play up like some others who ended up forcing TSSAA to form the the public/private divisions to equalize the playing field with the financial aide sub plots. LA is clearly entering the arms race and frankly shocked at the seriousness. Brought a D1 baseball assistant HC into the baseball fold and now bringing a nationally recognized former NFL QB and Super Bowl winner to elevate the football program. You can be a nah sayer but it’s clear LA understands what they need to do and are putting the pieces in place to elavate the programs.

They are trash now that they ain’t playing 2A teams

Last State Championship Lipscomb won was 3A.   They eventually were moved up to 4A and competed well prior to the last couple of years.
