Maybe AD will make a run at keeping him which could be a good thing to keep momentum.

Uh 'whoda thunk'? I would. How much do you know about Randy Moss - post NFL playing days? Hall of Famer Randy Moss is almost 50 now and has been a well liked ESPN analyst for almost a decade now ... why wouldn't his children have their heads screwed on straight? Not to mention his children also have something called a mother. He had five children with his high school sweetheart. His oldest daughter who he had while still playing at Marshall is going into her third season as the head women's basketball coach at Wilmington College, a small private school right here in Ohio. A friend of mine who lives near Dayton has seen them play and has talked about Randy attending games to see his daughter coach. Great article from the Dayton Daily News which also details his recent battle with cancer: https://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/archdeacon-sydney-and-randy-moss-share-daughter-father-bond-like-no-other/EN2HXLZOJFCMFGGIWTWZNYIHA4/ Appears more than one of his 'kids' have their head screwed on straight.

Heartily agree with @ZipsVoice These are two coaches I really hope we can hang on to! They operate the Akron way and if given time and some resources I believe they can create some momentum for the Zips in each of these sports.

Heard there’s been quite the exodus of Guthrie’s LT / hires from the staff side including Marcus Jennings, Camden Stockton and Candace Smith. Should set up Goodrich nicely to quickly bring in his own people and get to work.

This is where my curiosity is centered as well because that’s the year that tumbled the entire average - you had guys on the Arth roster like Teon Dollard who after the gun incident I don’t believe ever played another down of football even though UA kept trying to give him a chance to remain in school? I don’t know. How many defectors would it have taken that first season to cause the 880 and what could have been done differently at the outset to course correct even slightly to get over the minimum? Hindsight is 20/20 but who knows if this staff would have done anything differently as I’m told there is a through the roof level of stubbornness at the core of Moorhead’s program.

Worth wondering if this outcome actually helps their intentions/cause?

This was an exceptional gesture by Zips BB

Zips sure have had quite the haul of Championships!!! We are a lucky alum and fan base, sure hope everyone appreciates it.

Picked to finish last and now going to NCAA Tourny! Great job by the coach and these young ladies. GO ZIPS! *That Guthrie what a clown 😂 I jest!

Duquesne hadn’t been since 1977 before KD took them last year. Incredible! We are definitely spoiled to be Zips MBB fans!

Didn’t realize they had 8 seniors. How exciting for them! Will be interesting to see if coach can reload and if they retain the momentum. Lacrosse seems like a sport overall with a lot of excitement and momentum.

So he lied to some coaches (other than football, but not all coaches), especially football (more frequent lying or more substantial lies)? He lied to Coach Moorehead specifically? Were these all the same lies? About what exactly, at least broad strokes or a ‘for example’? I’m just fascinated with the desire by some on this board to skewer Guthrie any chance they get with a level of harshness that seems to be only matched by below the belt insults (sack of garbage, clown etc) slung at PCCC which rightly deserves all of those taunts given the actual state of their program, especially football, and our complete domination of them in MBB. I’m not saying he walked on water, none of us do. But as someone who loathed the Larry Williams tenure I just can’t put my finger on the obsessive level of dislike for one and not the other if you’re comparing ADs using the same criteria. I’ve shared my opinion and it’s mine alone. I’m not in contact with the football staff but if he lied to them that’s obviously shitty. Seems out of character with what I know, but I’m not dialed in enough to know anything close to it all. Excited to turn my attention to what this thread was supposedly about, the new AD, and putting my support behind him and as always the program above all.

I would argue Guthrie moved the football program to respectability. He was also the architect behind soccer getting in the Big East (despite many unsubstantiated claims he didn’t support soccer). And while baseball isn’t trending where I thought it would in wins under Faulds, he cared and brought in a coach who cares. Softball is trending well. Lacrosse just made their first ever tournament. Genuinely curious about what you think about Larry Williams and where he ranks on your AD scale if Guthrie ranks as a joke? In my opinion, and based on the majority of comments on this board - an incredibly small subset - it’s pretty far fetched to call his overall tenure at Akron or him as a human being (if you’re saying it’s both?) a joke. I guess reading between the lines, it’s primarily because of the Arby’s logo. Also, not sure ‘he bolted for Fordham’ is the accurate take on why he’s gone. The guy signed a 4-year extension in May of last year. Doesn’t seem like someone who had an intention of bolting. The facts are the facts. Hilltopper shared details previously and the reality is - Miller was ousted and a new President came in with his own vision. Happens all the time! ‘Bamboozled’ ‘Sack of garbage’ ’Joke’ Wow! Is it really just the logo bothering you? The guy ran a clean, well managed program with no scandals or issues like what you’re seeing seep out of the walls at our favorite joke of a program down the road. I think what is obvious as you hijack a thread about the new AD to slam Guthrie yet again is he must have really hurt your feelings at some point? Regardless, I’m excited to see what our new leader can do with what is a now very solid foundation left by Guthrie.

What eligibility … that’s domino seems to be the next to fall!

Lacrosse seems to have built some momentum under the ‘newish’ coach. I think she’s two seasons in based on the posts in this thread.

It’s official now from APs account

Would love to see Dustin up for and winning some of the assistant coach awards and rising star lists handed out/ complied each year! Obviously nice for him to be under the radar, but the guy deserves his flowers.

maybe AD is next

I think it would be fun for my kid

Well here’s what I call a fan-friendly promotion!
