When former Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze moved to Auburn, the attention turned to his work with the Tigers.
Freeze’s decision to retain interim head coach Cadillac Williams was a big focus, as was his work on the recruiting trail. People naturally wondered who Freeze would hire as his offensive and defensive coordinator and who he’d bring in through the portal.
Liberty’s end of the season almost became an afterthought in the national discussion. No one talked about Liberty’s wait for a bowl game, and most people outside Liberty’s circle wondered how the process would continue.
On Tuesday, that process will culminate in the Boca Raton Bowl against Toledo.
