I think you have captured how i feel. I want Arth to succeed. That is good for him, the program, the university and me. I have had little evidence that he or his assistants can coach. Maybe they can, but we are not seeing it. Being critical yet supportive is a reasonable description of my feelings.

I’m just hoping my statement isn’t a true statement. I guess my point is on offense Kato is probably #1 & Dre #2. Kato has been suspended for off the field issues & undependable, Dre was ineligible & tried to transfer Defense Bubba #1 and is a undersized LB, I know a warrior & great kid and love having him but no offers cause of size, no ILB’s that short & lucky he got an opportunity, #2 Hooks was ineligible last year Point being - we need to start seeing better recruits to turn this thing around & I’m hopeful this year we see some

I think this might be a little premature.

BS - Stands for best synopsis. Thanks for agreeing that I did a fantastic job of providing a brief summary of the current situation. The cupboard wasn't that bare, except for the Bowden recruits he decided not to sign. Please take a look at the distribution of the grades of the players across the roster and you will quickly see that there are very few juniors and seniors that will be providing meaningful play (Bubba and a few others will). Also, go back over the last few years and look at the current status of Bowden recruits. Many are not in football and few are playing at the D1 level. Arth might have done OK, but hasn't shown any signs of being able to handle D1 level. So far, he has not done OK with the very bad hand dealt him. I do not know if he can handle the D1 level, but he could handle the NFL as a player. For years, there has been a discussion if the New England Patriots were successful because of Tom Brady or Bill Belichick. Belichich has been known as one of if not the best NFL head coach ever. However, last year, Brady leaves, the Patriots go 7-9, and Brady wins the Super Bowl. Coaching is important, but talent is the key factor in winning sports games. When you have not played competitive sports above little league, you probably do not understand this concept. Everyone sees how bad the Zips. Everyone. First of all, the comment is not a complete sentence nor does it make sense as written. However, I believe that my great Akron education allows me to understand what is meant. True, but few understand the root causes and true reasons for the losses. The comment above regarding little league also applies here. Go Zips!!!

I agree 100%, from the 100 mile high level review. However, I can see the situation from 2 sides. First, Arth came into a program with a near bare cupboard of talent left by Bowden. In addition, he was hired so late in his first year that he did not sign anyone on the early signing day in December that year. From this perspective, he is in year 2. However, when looking at the flip side, I have questions if he is a good coach. I want to think that a NFL player knows the game of football. However, I have a friend who's son played for him at JCU. He did not see the field. However, after Arth left, my friend's son was first team all conference. So, can he or can he not judge, evaluate, and coach talent. I do like the talent of the young players that Arth has recruited. As long as he is the coach, I will be critical as needed but I will also support the program.

Now you have hurt my feelings. For the record; neither of my vehicles is crap colored; one is white the other is black, and it would actually be a physical impossibility for me to drive down I-71 toward Columbus. Go Zips!!!!!!!!

Drop that to $5, make it a 50 yard line seat, pay for my transportation both ways, and throw in a $20 food voucher and I am there for any Saturday game..

My money is that its this guy if we don't hear anything between now and the 1st. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11171444/5f78bbb6b53ef50618e79a75
