zvillezip Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 A bad angle to this could be that a college keeps a coach on staff until after the early signing period to save recruits then fire him and hire a replacement for the next round of signings. I hope that never happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the process can be smothering and annoying, but that's not a good enough reason to hose college programs.

Yes, then Big School B kicks scholarship player #83 off their team to open up a scholarship for a guy that was more sought after. College football is horribly corrupt. The game itself is a superior product to the NFL, but all other aspects are nauseating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The University of Akron football team did not receive a national letter of intent from any of its current list of commitments to the program on the early signing day Wednesday... UA plans to announce its 2019 recruiting class on the official signing day in February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I wonder how many of our previous commits signed with somewhere else yesterday.Seems like at least 5 just following this thread. Hopefully we can still save face with the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 That sucks, but it's not surprising considering the timing of the hire. Bowden should have been fired during the season so we could have had a better jump on the coaching search, building a staff and recruiting. We may have waited until the end of the season out of respect for what TB accomplished in saving the progrum from Ianello. Just speculation on my part. Coach Arth knew this signing day would be poor. Let's give him time to get his staff and vision out to recruits. I'm hoping February signing is better, but even if it isn't Arth deserves time to build the program his way.

Blue & Gold Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Wow, what a class act! I couldn't imagine being that mature and level headed when I was 18. Good luck, Tyler! (I respect Coach Arth for being straight forward w/ Tyler. Tom's honestly will also benefit Tyler, as I think this move will be best for both parties.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the greatest start I took the afternoon off work today and was able to meet with coach Arth. I’ll have a story posted sometime this weekend. On the topic of the existing recruits he said he didn’t want to pressure them to commit to a coach and staff that they’d never even met. And likewise he didn’t want to extend an offer to a student athlete that he’d never met. Zips fans will need to wait for the February signing date to see the 2019 class. It’s just the way it has to be. The new early signing period is really unfair to anyone involved with a coaching change. Whether your coach is fired, or he leaves on his own for a better opportunity. I can say he’s an extremely nice guy. Very gracious and a good listener. I was a big proponent of Luke Getsy being hired, and a lot of the positives I liked in Luke are also in Tom Arth. I think we hired a good one. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
