Ryno aka Menace

Ummmm. You didn't major in math, did you sport? Jus'kiddin'. no i didn't hahaha I should know better...ok 31% to be exact! Actually I made 2 mistakes there is 13 members not 12.

They should sell these at the Rubber Bowl...I bet they would make a killing!!!http://www.pmateusa.com/?site_id=224&i...3&pagenum=4

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedi.../content.2.html :rofl: :thumb:But seriously..we have 4 out of 13 conference members on this list, that's a quarter of the conference.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedi.../content.3.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedi.../content.6.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedi...content.11.html

What do our assistant coaches make?

He might be lower on the list since there is 120 D1 colleges now(was 119 until western kentucky became d1 this year).

I have seen comments in threads like...I agree with the assistant coaching issue. But, keep in mind that Akron doesn't pay very well. That is one factor that takes coaches to new places.So I got to thinking what do our coaches make http://www.fanblogs.com/ncaa/005679.phpThe Sun Belt is undisputed the worst conference in college football, I would think that MAc coaches make more, but I can't find a link anywhere.

I believe in playing till the end, and he needs to instill that in his players.

According to the tv announcers all 3 seem to feel he didn't see the fair catch. Replay shows him running with his head down so maybe but I think it was intentional.

I don't think any team that is 500 should go bowling.....yes even my beloved zips!!

Amazing Mark May and Lou never watch Akron Football and they can even see that we have two good tight ends that can catch and we don't utilize them. On a side note they are doing a good job hiding that fact that know one is at this game.

Hahahaha! My brother and I were just commenting on that!!!

now that was funny.

This is what baffles me..............right now we look pretty good...not great but pretty good, and the second half a different teams comes out of the locker room.

Yeah I am "DVR" I got started late, I will catch up during commercials.

7 to 3 Akron

yep lets get it on zips!!..uh oh start the game off with a fumble, same old sh*t!!

See Skip Zip that is what I am on the fence about, was it "early success" or dumb luck?

Captain K made these comments.........I've seen my share of bad coaching in Akron over the past 20 years. I don't see bad coaching with JD. I see some bad recruiting stratagies...ones that seemingly have been rectified...with the exception of recruiting a stud QB...but I don't see bad coaching. OK...the offense needs some creativity too...but I think that is due in large part to the lack of a stud QB and the aforementioned retention issues. The offense has gradually become more creative and effective as the season has progressed.If JD's 2007 #1 recruiting class was like the 2006 retention-wise, I'd be concerned. But it doesn't appear to be.I see Notre Dame fire Ty Willingham after 3 years. With all ND's resources, they hired a multi-million dollar bust that's probably not capable of beating the upper-tier MAC teams on a neutral field.I see Randy Edsall at UCONN who followed up his Motor City Bowl championship, 8-4, 2004 season with a 5-6 and 3-9 campaign. And those wins he had in those two seasons would make Lee Owens blush...Rhode Island...Liberty...Buffalo. Now UCONN is Top 25 and playing great. Should the guy have been fired because two years after the MCB he went 3-9?Changing coaches every 3-4 years is suicide. JD deserves 5-6 years to see what he can do. Not 9 years like Dan Hipsher or Lee Owens or Gerry Faust...but by 5-6 years you should have an accurate read on the guy's ability.After 3.6 years, I see sufficient hope that JD will be fine. It would be a big help if he can pull a Nate Davis-type impact QB out of this class, that's for sure.Even after last nights performance I still agree with Captain....well let me specify give him 2 more seasons for improvement. I was probably the first to yell fire JD, but after reading posts by Captain I thought well maybe I am being a little hasty because I wanna see better results. Then after buffalo I made my post about "Minimal Improvement" and got slammed to high hell. Despite everything that has happened I realize a couple of things.1. That good showing at Ohio State was misleading, I truly believe that the Buckeyes used a vanilla play calling scheme to go easy on our Zips.2. This team has a bunch of un-coached athletes. ex. staring down Jabri, secondary a step to late, penalties in crucial situations, overall inconsistent play etc.3. Offensive coordinator sucks swamp water! How many screen do we throw in game4. The 3-3-5 sucks swamp water and reeks of old school bus seats (moldy ass)5. I still haven't decided if it was more coaching or luck that causes us to win a close game every year. (prayer pass against NI for bowl appearance, NCstate TD as time expires for fist bowl win, Western lateral with no time left for win.6. Make no mistake I am pissed about the "product" we are putting on the field, 2 years buddy that is all I would give you.

If winning is all that matters, than no, there is no improvement because neither coach has/had a winning record. To me, there's more to college football than winning, but to most people like the community that is supposed to support the team and pay the bills, for example, doesn't care about student-athletes or school spirit or pride, they want to root for a winning team. The thing is, they have no winning team to root for on the gridiron. Who the hell would want travel to a crumbling stadium where you can get ass-splinters and where there are no doors on the bathroom stalls and no railings on the stairs just to watch a bunch of losers get their ass handed to them once again?I know better -- many of us know better -- but that is the public perception, and that is what dictates how our football "business" is run. Very few schools make money from athletics, but at the very least, we could try not to LOSE more money than before. That would be an improvement, but we are still faking attendance numbers and still pouring money into a failing program. An overhaul is needed, whether that would involve firing everybody and starting from scratch is not my call to make, but something needs to change. The thing is that we have no catalyst to spark the change right now and are stuck in a mode of perpetual suck.I couldn't of said it better, I love Akron Football...I played Akron football so know one wants them to win more than I do.Guys I think all of us are just frustrated and looking for answers, because we know what Uof A has to offer we all have fond memories of this place and it holds a special place in our hearts, unfortunately the majority don't share our passion.We basically have 2 choices..1. Keep hiring and firing until we get that one that just takes this program to where it needs to beor 2. Stick with a coach through the good and bad until he one day gets it.What the university is doing is kinda a hybrid of both give a guy 8 years if he doest get it he is gone.

Well you don't have to be a math major to know that....Lee Owens 21 wins and 25 losses his last 4 years at Akron.vs.JD Brookharts 21 wins and 23 losses right now (and he has 3 games to go that very well might be losses!!!) That is no improvement......from what you were left to what is going on right now!!!.if he wins out that is minimal improvement if he losses out that is worse!!, what don't you understand?!!! Did he improve on what was left him? I don't give a shit about facilities, or better athletes. It all boils down to wins and losses and right now we have made little to know progress.Everyone points out a BCS win and a bowl game. OK who's to say L.O. couldn't have accomplished the same things maybe maybe not. I am not defending L.O. I am simply stating that from What Lee Owens left JD Brookhart till right now I see minimal improvement! Great he delivered on a BCS win and what does that amount to exactly?? how has that one win benefited this program, are people scared to play us now? Did we land any big recruits because of that win? Lastly I think JD has potential he shows glimpse of promise in my opinion but right now I feel he is more mr. wrong than mr. right.Sorry I made my reply before refreshing my screen!! But at least a few people see my point.

Some of you just don't get it...THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT SINCE JD TOOK OVER!!!! You can't leave someone a C- or C+ team take over and 4 years later they are still a C-/D+ team!! Thats not improvement. Look at your own statement closely, sure looks like no improvement to me!!!His predecessor was 12-32 thru 4 years.JD is about even in the win/loss column thru almost 4 years.Sounds like minimal to no improvement to me!!!

2 simple statements Winning cures allandThe definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I think for me that is the most disappointing thing, and they have 3 games in the next 12 days?!!!

This Trevor Scott is creating havoc on CJ11 right now.

Damn special teams!!!, as soon as we say it's improved.....
