Less than that.

A one year tenure would certainly be something.

If they know they are waiting on Congress or the SCOTUS why would they feel any sense of urgency, they are smart to sit back and let it remain a free for all … when will this ever be a priority for our govt.

That’s what some of the coaches have said. Curious was he at the Swim and Dive Championships at his own pool? Did he jump in to celebrate as the previous AD did … coaches chatter about these things? Was he at the T&F championships? I genuinely don’t know the answer about his presence at either Championship but as someone said he hasn’t been as boisterous on SM lately but is retweeting a Syracuse reporter tweets about Miami OH-same reporter who recently listed him as a potential candidate for the Syracuse job, nothing on the many promises he’s made like the fan board, I hear from some in the dept it’s been eerily quiet. His name is out there as actively pursuing the job.

Awesome display of basketball on Friday. That was poetry in motion. Nearly a perfect game.

Second Costco and RH (clearance or sales). I’d be really wary of a move to UA as they seem to have lost a lot of credibility and momentum since the Steph Curry split. Though maybe desperation results in a good deal?

This is pretty much me. I think for me it was a $40 hoodie I got on sale at Dick's sporting goods, which isn't much more than what a t-shirt would cost at the team shop.

My last gear purchase was a hoodie from the premier athletics gear retailer Costco. The one before that was a polo off of the clearance rack at Rally House. I've found the stuff from the school to usually be overpriced.

I met RJ's dad at the Zip-Kent game as we were walking to the arena. Great guy. I told him that Groce recruits not only great basketball players but also athletes that are good citizens and willing to learn and that says a lot about his son.

Keith Dambrot punched one of his players on the bench when he was coaching Central Michigan (game was at KSU - I saw it firsthand).

I sit behind the opposing teams bench and Frank Martin was verbally abusive to his players. Now these are division 1 athletes and not high school kids who can take the abuse but it made me wonder if this is the best coaching style and at some point in time do the players just tune him out. Ironically, the only time I saw Frank smile was when he bursted out laughing while talking to one of the Akron fans after complaining about the refs . The next game I asked the fan what he had said to Frank. He told Frank that he agreed the refs suck but look at the bright side, he is being paid a million bucks to watch them work tonight and the Akron fans have to pay good money to watch this sh_t show of a reffing crew.

5 years is enough for someone to be AD at a mid major. Things change at mid majors faster than P4 so the skill sets of those working there have to change as well.

He has seemed to be a little quieter on social media lately. Can’t blame him for exploring given the connection, but it would sure be nice if we could get a qualified “Akron guy” in the position who would be here more than a few years.

Is this confirmed?

He should be thanking Jason Preston for their one fluke good season

I choose the wrong field as well.

12 titles in 13 years

Can anyone imagine being mediocre to bad at their job but having almost infinite security through a contract and a buyout/salary in the $6-8 million range?! What a dream life...I shoulda gone into coaching.

I think OU needs to do a better job in selecting who they send to the post-game presser. LOL.

toledo owned Akron as well in regular season until recently.

Per Kitty Attack Jeff Boals career record against these three teams (Year 7 of Boals Era) Akron 5-9 Kent State 6-8 Toledo 1-13

Kent sure can't.

Yeah, feels like we would really have to choke on the 3M dive event to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...
