Jason Taylor was recruited by Faust. Both Taylor and Smith were defensive guys. Winters was Offensive Coordinator. But it was practicing against his high powered offense that made them so good on defense.

League Rule: MAC schools are not permitted to play away games at 1-AA stadiums. YSU will not play the Zips unless it is a home-home. The Zips have offered to host YSU, and YSU has declined. End of story. If this was such a rule, please explain to myself and ALL YSU fans why Ball State is playing an AWAY game at Illinois State (same conference as YSU) in the next two seasons??? Because Ball state asked for an exception because they couldn't find FCS schools willing to play them.

So in just 7 short years we will be competitive in the playoffs, that don't exist at the level we compete. Every season is a playoff for the Mid-American Conference Championship. Winters has success at bringing a program from the bottom up. And fans here are going to give him the 3 year warm up he needs? Look at how long it took, and he still hasn't got his team ranked #1 in the GLIAC, just made the playoffs. ITZ is attached because he played under Winters. I'm hard pressed to say that I am interested in Winters as our next coach.

Here's a valid point. Tressel cares about the program, he wants to help, heck he is helping. You ever think he turned it down because he was afraid the NCAA sanctions would be too detrimental to the school and program? Zach still acts like a kid, mad because things don't work out so he has to be venomous toward the person who hurt him.

End of story. Then maybe THAT's something Tressel could help out with....encouraging his old school to make a short trip west. It would be good for both sides, wouldn't it? No, YSU can make more money playing Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan and if Akron loses, its just another "laughing stock" moment.

The irony is that Tressel tried to help his Alma Mater 2 years ago. So now Wistrcill has to listen.

Ask Texas how well that works.

He could be better. Lots of guys could win at Akron. No it's too hard to win at Akron. Someone said that, I think he said he was important.

then ban yourself from a while.

I'm sure people will, the same people that hate their ex girlfriends or the ones that think every girl that won't go out with them must be a b-word. I'm still not convinced on Winters, I have my reasons.

Wait Tressel to Akron isn't dead or just the coaching thing?

Just mentioning previously mentioned names. Campbell is interesting. Mount Union grad has 5 NC rings with them, and he is only 31. I mean the other names out there would be something like Terry Bowden, Ron Zook, Rick Neuheisel. Bowden maybe but the other two are kind of failures.

Well at least our name is working its way up the media chain.

Chuck Martin Paul Winters Matt Campbell Hugh Freeze Willie Fritz Paul Chryst D-1 Coordinators, D1-AA Head Coaches, or DII Head Coaches? That was our options before right?

Canton Repository just posted that they spoke with Tressel's people and that he has been at his home all day in columbus and that he is not taking a coaching job at Akron. Maybe not, but the moron that wrote the article doesn't even know that Infocision Stadium has better meeting rooms then most of campus and they hold high profile events there all the time. The guy is not a moron. He's a very good, reliable, writer. I stand by my statement, Todd.

I can live with JT turning down the job. What I couldn't live with would have been finding out that UA never even tossed in their hat. I can live with JT turning it down too, what I can't live with is another Ianello type hire.

Why today didn't matter... Sources said Wednesday for the meeting with Tressel the whole time, not Tuesday. Next Trustee Meeting. November 30, 2011, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 (Executive session, 8 a.m.)

Anyone could have tweeted the same thing, real sources would be nice.

Third floor is where the Board of Trustees meets. Room 339.

Maybe we can borrow Reggie McAdams...

Dennison is important to UA because he is one of the winningest coaches in its history. He also was involved with the program for 20 years (including 7 as the AD). And why would Tressel be interested in Akron? Its home.

Yeah, they don't, I mean it only almost killed Urban Meyer, but they don't care about media and fan pressure. It is easier, hence them being better on the field, but its more difficult to get national championship talent at OSU. No, cause he didn't play Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan St, Iowa, Texas, USC, Oregon, Miami, Florida, LSU on a regular basis. Stop the nonsense. You can be SEC biased as much as you want, but the truth is OSU and Tressel played a tough schedule and came out on top more times than not. I get your no shortcuts concept. But how is this a shortcut? We have tried lower tier guys, the last three times. We haven't tried a name coach since Faust. I haven't said its a perfect solution, nothing is, but if you want to make an impact for the program, this is definitely the way to go.

You said you wanted a place to take it easy and still make an impact on kids lives. Akron is that kind of place. You want to make good on your name and legacy and you are about teaching football. Well Akron desperately needs to be taught how to play football. I'm not interested in a guy looking to take it easy. His easy job was OSU. It's hard as Hell to win at Akron and we don't need a guy to take it easy. We want a guy who will work his butt off to get the easy job at a school like OSU. When I say take it "easy" I don't mean sleep walk through the job. Boy way to jump on context. Tell me, is OSU an easier job than Akron? You will say recruiting, but he had to recruit against the top 10 teams in the nation. You say winning but he had to play against the top 10 50% of the time, at Akron you are lucky to see 1 top 10 team a season. When I say "take it easy" I meant, not constantly scrutinized by national media. Akron is an easier job from a pressure stand point and you damn well know it.
