I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure that most programs say goodbye to players when they enter the portal, it’s common practice. It’s not a matter of being stubborn it’s just a reality. Can you imagine if you didn’t do that? Every kid could just enter the portal and see what they get and come back if they don’t find what they want. And what does a program do while they are waiting for a kid to decide if he’s coming back? Do they just not recruit or offer until each kid makes his decision? They could end up in late spring with no kids. They really have to move on when kids enter the portal. I agree that Joe is a good person and a good football mind, but is he a good head coach? That remains to be seen. My other issue with him, is that he doesn’t seem to be a good promoter/ambassador of the program - unless he’s doing it very quietly behind the scenes (which in and of itself would say he’s not). This program needs a good coach and a good salesman to the public and student body. Like everything, wins would solve most of these issues. It just feels like since he’s been here it’s been one step forward and two steps back - stuck in an endless cycle.

Offensive genius! 🙄

Unbelievable stupid penalty! WTF

The line is Zips +7.5 so that tells me that we have a chance. Would I take that bet…no.

I would just like to see some fire out of him in these videos. Show that you are angry, embarrassed, anything besides credit to the other coach and his staff bla bla bla

This team is just so bad, inept in every facet of the game…again

Very impressive, a lot of top 10 players for a 1-3 team. Grant had to take a gigantic leap after padding his stats last week but still, good for him. Good homework Zippy

Wow, Toledo -21.5

Is Shor still on the team? Injured? Haven't noticed him or seen him mentioned all year.

What in the world is this page going to do, not much to bitch about!?!

Is bad Finley here today?? Looks like the same pick he threw against Wyoming.

Dukes hang in there early but Zips pull away in second half. Final 31-20 Zips

Remember a few years ago when Colgate went up 17-0 on the Zips? They need to play well or this could be an absolute disaster losing to them.

This team should not take anyone lightly! They better be ready to play or they could easily lose on Saturday. I’m sure Duquesne is looking at this as a great opportunity to get a win against an FBS team.

I would agree it makes more sense for football but the problem is classes. Most schools start 2nd semester until early to mid January so kids needs to be enrolled. If they aren’t enrolled for 2nd semester then they can’t participate in spring practice.

Heard Adams was a disciplinary scratch last week, maybe he was still in the doghouse?

I really don’t think so, I’m sure he would get a power five OC job easily. Despite what we think, he is still very well respected as a good offensive mind. Akron’s budget (or lack thereof), lack of any NIL money, and overall lack of hope actually works in his favor because all coaches know how hard it is to win here. They know he’s in a hopeless situation so his value isn’t diminished.

I think Joe walks away on his own after the season. He’s failed and he’s frustrated. He has no money to recruit, smallest budget in D1, no training table, etc etc. He can go somewhere else and make the same money, or more, as an OC. He resigns soon after the last game.

Is that past your bedtime?

I think the offense finally wakes up today but unfortunately, the defense gives up too many big plays and the Zips fall, 27-17. I really hope I’m wrong but until they actually prove that they can win, I’m very skeptical.

I’ll just leave you with some advice - although it’s clearly too late today

Yet another intelligent comeback , good job. You have the mental maturity of a 6th grader. Are you that deprived of attention in your real life that you just have to stir the pot and say ridiculous things on a message board?

I rest my case…ignorant
