Lol, he must be an idiot. Again, I’m praying whoever Guthrie hires is finally the one. I don’t care if that means we have the perfect season and they leave us for a P5.

I want the best person we can find to run the program. A lot goes into this decision, a lot. I don’t care what their race is. Whoever the best we can get is what I want. I’m open to any race, let’s just get someone who can fix this. But keep in mind no one hires someone to fail but it happens regularly. Being right on these decisions aren’t easy but I’m praying 🙏🏻 Guthrie gets it right or gets lucky. I just want to see Akron win football games Game Day is in Cincinnati today, wouldn’t it be awesome to see it in Akron some day?

Do you really think a new AD’s 1st hire for a D1 football program is going to be a high school football coach. I would think that is career suicide Especially a high school coach with no D1 coaching experience

I can’t believe people really think Coach T is a viable option

I feel like he is vested as a Akron QB & Alumni, he has been an OC in the SEC, WR & QB coach in the NFL. I think he made $600,000 as OC at Mississippi State and we may not be able to afford him but my feeling is he has some great football knowledge and would hope he would want to be apart of saving the football program just my opinion

Luke Getsy would be my #1, not sure we could get him or if he would even be interested

Bubba already graduated

I certainly hope he isn’t a candidate

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bubba stays. He has a good family support system here & he just loves playing.

Just for your own health keep in mind we have been at the top of the roller coaster a couple times this year only to free fall below any level we thought possible. We can’t keep doing that, we need some consistency

No, just can’t get to excited with our defense

I agree with this alignment as well but probably not fair travel time wise so probably not going to happen

BGSU just beat Buffalo

Quad played TE, FB on O & LB/DE on D and was a solid player

Another Hoban kid in the portal

Couple things, i don’t think local talent is going to save program, I said it’s nice to have a few local kids sprinkled in there. Gotta win games is the bottom line. Wasn’t looking at a track guy for recruiting info but my point was local talent catches some of the attention of people we need to get to games, but speed wins games & we are lacking it & size. Fun recruiting fact though, they look for multi sport athletes & track is # 1 second sport, a lot of times on your skilled positions they look at track times, they love FAT fully automatic times. They don’t lie like coaches do

Why do you keep saying what do you know? Not much, go where the ball goes is pee wee, defensively everyone in the box has gap responsibility first, it’s why we have RPO’s in the first place. Easy to destroy a non disciplined defense. That’s Run, Pass, option, handoff or keep by how the DE reacts, handoff or pass does the LB bite & hit the slant. Everyone does it now. Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but I am extremely frustrated with where we are. I’m a local that has been involved in sports in Akron area for years. I knew many players during the Bowden era from the area. There isn’t much local talent on the team anymore. Not that anyone cares about me but even though I’m a 94 grad I never went to a game until local kids that I coached or coached against started playing there. I started tailgating and bringing a lot of people cause locals had some interest because they knew some players and we were at least getting better & competing. It was fun, currently it’s not much fun because we don’t have the locals & we don’t compete. What happened to the local track ref guy that also use to give opinion on recruits from what he has scene on the track? Is it cause we are not recruiting local? I really thought that was why we hired him because of his NEO roots and coaches will respect him & he will be able to recruit the area. Only thing he has done is recruit big o lineman from Ed’s & Iggy that no one else will offer. Got one from Hoban that hopefully can contribute but he fell to us because of a junior year injury and no one else offered. I’m not defending Bowden as I have said he seem to be fine with just competing & not taking the next step but he seem to get portal talent to stay competitive, plus his college connections, we brought in some questionable characters but he seemed to manage & sprinkled some good local talent but did nothing to market. Was terrible social media guy. Now we have a social media guy who can’t recruit or coach. Can we please get a complete package coach and watch some good football with a few of the better local talent. I’ve only been on board for about the last 10 years but I’m on the verge of moving on. Sorry for rant, just frustrating watching us play at this level

Ya know we will get our a** kicked, ya know, no matter how much coach speak, ya know, we suck but we will get right back to work and ya know try harder next week Tired of it, ya know

It’s awful

IMO - On this team DJ is the best QB for this team. He has shown statistically in games to be a good enough thrower and with our weak OL and pressure the QB gets he is Akron’s biggest threat. I like Gibson but just my opinion DJ gives us a better chance to make those big plays when needed in tight games to keep the chains moving. Buffalo has a couple good DL that could make our OL look worse than normal & DJ could help. Again, just my opinion

We are so undersized & slow at DL & LB for D1 football. Love Bubba but he is physically challenged for that position & makes up a lot with hard work & determination but I agree with Captain & have been preaching it since joining this forum in 2016

I’ll admit, I would of got that wrong, what are you? An English teacher?

Dam, you guys are brutal for getting are & our mixed up with talk to text. It’s ok, I can handle it 😂. Maybe, instead of a football forum we should make it a proper English forum. Might be more exciting then this current team.

Fun Fact to add to your weird dream 😂 Both teams had Bowden X-Zip recruits contribute to the stat sheet Liberty - Louis & Sibley ULM - Knight & Alce

I like your thoughts but I believe coaches want to win and choose the ones that give them the best chance. We don’t have that kind of debt. We don’t even have the talent to overcome our penalties. We can’t overcome poor discipline. Killed multiple drives in a game we needed points.
