  1. That is incredible. Most of the MAC sports, especially the “lesser” sports, I.e. track, swimming, Xc, baseball, the coach of the champions are an “automatic” choice...rarely another coach....Wow, nice catch...

  2. The other thing that amazes me about Akron soccer and their dominance, this was the first year ever since joining the MAC in 1993 that the Zips had not finished in either first or second place in the conference regular season and yet they still made the NCAA tournament. And the way the record for the most MAC tournament titles is now held by one Jared Embick (Akron coaches hold the top three spots with Porter and Lolla following Embick). But perhaps even more incredibly Jared Embick has never been named MAC coach of the year. MAC Men's Soccer Record Book

  3. Oops, jumped the gun! LOL. I would not be in favor of Tyrell but figured it was just a matter of time before we started hearing the name. I think there's a step on the ladder between Hoban and a place like UA that he's have to do, like a D2 or D3 school, before I'd feel comfortable with him here.

  4. I believe the upcoming games at OU and South Carolina will be the final of Bowden's tenure at Akron. If Williams can get Terry to move on from Milwee, then maybe we'll only be looking for someone new to run the offense. Maybe there's even some changes that can be made at the position level, I'm not sure. I think we can all agree there need to be some changes though. I've listed a couple of candidates I feel are reasonable for head coach. I'm not too sure about coordinator candidates, so I didn't list any names because that is a much different hire. Vince Kehres, HC at Mount Union--80-4 with a couple titles. Not as accomplished as Leipold was at Whitewater, but you can see what winning culture has brought to a former football wasteland at UB. Scot Loeffler, OC/QB coach at Boston College--Local guy and a pretty good offensive mind. He's been around a lot of success and been instrumental in some nice offenses. He's had success in the MAC as well. Matt Canada, Interim HC/OC/QB coach at Maryland--I wouldn't be surprised if Maryland kept him because he's done pretty well with the difficult hand he was dealt this year. He's been around success in the MAC and is more than qualified. I suspect he'll get looks at much bigger jobs though. Luke Getsy, OC at Mississippi State--Doesn't really need any explaining. I think this hire would get a lot of people fired up that have lost interest in the program. Worked for Fleck at WMU for a year and was the receivers coach in Green Bay for a few years. But is he ready to lead a whole program? You might say I'm starting this thread too early, but the reality is that a week and a half from now, we're gonna be learning a lot about the future of this program. Go Zips!!!

  5. Not knocking defense, we do make it very difficult with our game plan, we put all the pressure on the D, we die with the run game we don’t have every week, open it up, let your athletes make plays, use Van Edwards with screens & in the flats & checkdowns, wide receiver screens, slants. Quick hitting pass plays as the O-Line can’t hold blocks real long either

  6. I do not wish to think of Z.I.P.s Hawaii tanned butt under any circumstances. Now excuse me while I go poke out my mind's eye.

  7. Earlier in the season I tended to think the D was playing pretty well what with the NW game. I know they have had some injuries. But, even with the pathetic offense hanging them out they give up too many big plays and can't get off the field. Linebacker play is not nearly as strong now. UG seems to disappear at times. They manage some sacks but again are way too vulnerable to the run. The D-line hasn't been all that good all season. Next year could be even worse on that side of the ball with graduations.

  8. Our OL is not good. But in year 7 that’s on the coaches. It’s not a viable excuse for a pathetic offense.

  11. Seems the best move is to have Milwee replaced first before they think about replacing Bowden. Obviously the weak link is the offense. We'd be winning more if that good defense had some help. Watched Zips football with Terry Bowden show. First time I've seen him in the show be vocally critical of the offensive ineptness and not make excuses.
