Only Tavian Dunn-Martin and Michael Hughes - both freshmen - followed him to Duquesne.

They were leaving anyway. Look at any coaching change and you see huge roster turnover. The exception is if you promote an assistant like we did with Ford. Even then it's no guarantee. Edit: Didn't he only take 2 if I remember right? Hughes and that undersized pg? Memory is fading at my old age. Edit 2: Tavian Dunn-Martin

Serviceable backup big? 🤣

KD took all our players

They must have had a student take these. He didn’t include all the banners for CoC!!!! oh wait……..

I agree 100%. KD only left - after 13 years, almost u heard at the time (or any time) - for a job that was very personal for him. Groce interviewed multiple places and seemed to be determined to leave. Very, very different IMO. (But as I said before, Groce is a good man and I respect his decision to leave).

I feel much of the hate Dambrot receives is misdirected. When he left there was a large contingent that appeared to be more Dambrot fans than Akron. Those people were very vocal and quit on the program. This time it feels different in that people are rallying behind Ford. Edit: People were also probably more overreacting because it was the first time in a don't know how long a ~decade long tenure coach with a lot of success left. People are more based this time because they've seen it happen before and are confident we can recover.

I think the way Coach D left was actually better than the way Groce left. At least he got a big pay raise and had a connection to the school. Groce's departure makes me feel like he just wanted to leave.

I don't think it has to be iconic. A tee shirt would work, idk about the "built Ford tough" stuff bc I'm not a copyright attorney but it definitely would sell. And I'd sell them double what he's selling stuff for now.

Coincidentally I just got an email a short bit ago saying it shipped.

I saw a couple people tweet pictures of their hats that arrived today, so it may be coming very soon.

How did you find out it was held up for postage? Curious if that's the same issue with my hat.

I just got a nice apology message back from the collective offering to refund the extra shipping. I told them to treat it as a donation to the collective. I'm sure that $4.10 will make a huge difference in recruiting!

No, they dropped the ball on that too. I did get something from USPS

Did you get a confirmation email that is shipped prior to it coming?

What was so bad about the way he left?

I received my hoodie today but had to pick it up at the post office as there was postage due. Apparently, it was put in a priority mail envelope rather than sent regular ground shipping. As a result, $4.10 more was due for shipping. Perfect part of this week as a Zips fan. LOL.

Maybe this Saturday. If not it won't be until the 18th.

Dang, I'd buy. 🤣

KD should've left in a way that warranted more of this type of response.

I also hold no ill will toward him, but I will also say KD deserved this type of response from more people here when he left.
