....and not offensive coordinators?

Love to see this tool lose

True Dat!! Constantly losing players after a year or two....reloading.....getting them to gel. Absolutely Amazing!!!

I hear ya but look through the posts from the past. MANY (maybe not you) said Dambrot needed to go because he couldn't "take us to the next level". There were multiple posts about 1 and done in post season, embarrassing losses, etc. Hey bud, I loved Dambrot and my post is in no way a disservice to what he did for us. He is a friend and I was happy to have him as our coach, sad to see him leave. I just don't understand what the "next level" is. You have the power 5 Conferences and then everyone else....Being in the MAC, you hope to knock off a marquis team in the 2-3 chances you get every year. Once you get in to MAC play...any team can win, the parody is ridiculous. In an attempt to get to the "next level" you can hire a hot shot young coach who will be gone in 2 years and fall in to oblivion or respectable coach who will stay (i.e. Solich at OU, TB with us). Just sayin'......be careful what you wish for.

What is the next level you all are looking for? So, who can lead us to the next level....a young hot shot coach who will leave after 2-3 years? This reminds me of the discussions around our basketball team "going to the next level" and KD not being the guy to do it. Bball wins 20+ games, MAC Championships, loses marquis games - deemed a failure by most...KD can't win the big ones and take us to the "next level" FBall is consistently competitive, has marquis wins, 4 years with Wagon Wheel, bowl appearances, a bowl win - deemed a failure...TB can't take us to the "next level" The definitions of "next level" on here are all over the place. We are and will remain a MAC school - that in itself limits what level you can get to IMHO.

Thanks...it appears they don't make em' anymore. How much you want for yours ;-)

Love it! http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/college/fl-sp-fau-oklahoma-game-20180901-story.html

So predictable...yawn. Stupid me for coming on ZipsNation to ask the question.

Anyone know where I can get a Zippy head cover for my driver?

That's why there are only a dozen or so of you left on here, tbh ;-)

Is it building a program to have 6 recruits already having collegiate experience? Or is it someone looking to try and make an impact and get another big job. Fire away at me lol

one more time

That was my confusion....if he is so good, why is he essentially going to be in school for what......5 years now?

Huh?

I like this kid A LOT!

In the meantime...http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20171207/news/144916/youngstown-state-extends-president-jim-tressels-contract

The continued results of poor decision making. This would not have happened if we would have made Tressel president (I got slammed for supporting him too). Who the f**k runs this s**t show?

You question what is being repeated....either you didn't read what I have said or you don't understand. Can you explain this one to me....."We've got the coach who has shown he can take a MAC school where we want it to go." Groce went 14-18. Is that where we want to go? He had a .600ish record at Ohio, went to the regional semifinal and left the next year. Is that where we want to go? Also the putting lipstick on a pig thing you referenced (lighting, scoreboards, etc.) What do you do you mean by "given the circumstances". Are you referring to the financial distress the school is under? If so, how can you not understand my point? BTW - if UA would have kept the commitment they made to Huggie, he would have stayed much longer.

So why was INfo built?

I would ask the same...how is making the same mistakes over and over productive. I dont come come on here much anymore so my timing is bad. Everyone seems content with the direction so GO ZIPS!

Appreciate the feedback. Basically you are OK with the investments and decisions UA has made and you are looking forward to "next year". That is awesome! I also hope next year is great.

That is my kind of my point. Hug left because originally a commitment was made to him to make UA a basketball power. BUT then Gerry Faust became available and was given a blank check to make football the priority. Hug was pissed and left shortly after. It was a poor decision that has been repeated. KD wanted a new arena and would have stayed had it been built BUT a decision was made to build the INfo and hire another Notre Dame reject to take over the team. Not saying Hug would have stayed forever, I am telling you he got shafted and left. Ditto for KD. Not saying KD is as good a coach as Hug but I do believe facilities and attendance bring in better recruits. Add LBJ, we had a rare opportunity to make a splash on the national stage. Instead we have a giant football stadium 1/5th filled. Football is is too expensive and it’s futile to try and compete with what will ultimately be (or is) a 4 league D1 competition. We we should have taken the Xavier, Gonzaga, Wichita State, Dayton model. Which schools have more pride? Which schools are ridiculed for have the worst attendance/Gameday experience for football.

Someone just delete the thread......

This is why I don't post on here....You totally miss the point. You can be as optimistic as you want about next season...if Groce succeeds, he will be gone. Based on your response I assume your expectation was for LBJ to foot the bill for an arena.....LOL. If the mayor had half a brain, he would have worked something out with the U and LBJ...he didn't and he let it ride out of town.
