Liddy recorded a combined 228 dual meet wins, developed 170 individual conference champions and 65 conference relay championship teams. He was named the league's Coach of the Year 11 times. In the 14 years that WSU has been part of a conference under Liddy, the women's team never finished lower than second and the men never lower than third.

On February 10, 2007, Liddy was inducted into the Al and Mary Schwarz Wright State Athletic Hall of Fame.
