TW is is drinking buddy so I doubt Ianello didn't know about it before he started his drive. The irony is TW will catch all the bad publicity for this when he's good friends with the guy.

WOW! The Beacon has not even reported this yet! Shows how much they care. they're more concerned about the Urban Meyers to OSU rumors.

This all came after that twitter post saying he wasn't going to be fired, I think they were worried about some very angry Zips fan going crazy tonight. I understand the sentimental part regarding Rob and his situation, but they did the right thing for us Zips fans. I seriously was going crazy over this.

I'm hearing this decision was not made by Tom Wistrcill, but from the upper upper people. Hid job might be in jeopardy after Akron's soccer season is over. Because the Zips are heading to the national championship, Tom's got a couple more weeks left.

looks like I'll be going to the soccer watch party with a hangover, so happy right now knowing I can return my family to watching Zips football games. Count me in for season tickets next year!!!!!!! btw, anyone looking to celebrate, come to the Akron watch party tomorrow http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showtopic=24829

RIP Akron Football

The funeral for Ianello's mother is on Monday, I have no problem with waiting until Tuesday.

We started a tailgating tradition for Akron soccer games. We usually get 20-30 people per game.

does everyone forget that it was footballscoop.com that first reported Ianello was being hired? I don't want to be let down on this.

LOL! I know it's really really unfair to pull this back up now (necropost)... but it wasn't my idea. I looked at the currently online users and saw a guest looking at this thread. The above quoted post stands out to me as a way of demonstrating changing perspectives. Oh how much different 27-32 looks now. Not saying it's something to strive for or praise. I just think a lot of people felt there was no risk in changing. heh After Ianello, I regret ever creating this thread and calling for JD's head.

from searching google, all I can find was that JD was fired 11/28/09 http://ohiocollegefootball.com/members/ocf...s.html#00001167

With Owens, it was the night of. I'm not sure about JD. Regardless, this is happening. I hope you're right

This is a good idea. However, you may want to wait till after RI's mother's funeral. UA may be waiting until after the funeral to officially let him go? what day is his mother's funeral? If she passed away Tuesday, I'd assume Saturday or Sunday? I don't know how much longer I can wait because I have this feeling that we're going to all be disappointed and stuck with another year of iCantcoach

I'm giving the University until 12:00pm sunday to fire Ianello before I change the name of the facebook group to include Tom Wistrcill's name. If Ianello isn't fired, TW better be!!!

it's either goodbye Ianello or goodbye Akron Football

it would cost too much money to keep him next year, no way he's not fired.

For anyone looking for information about a watch party, we're going to be meeting at the Barley House this Sunday around 7. We had over 30 people show up for the SMU game with 2 TV's streaming the game, let's plan on doubling the size this Sunday. We have a facebook group with more information: http://www.facebook.com/events/203643733049736/ Hope to see everyone there.

if you haven't joined the facebook group and want Ianello fired, please join http://www.facebook.com/groups/184462058307199/

the video stream (muted) with Frenchie http://www.iheart.com/#/live/3455/?autoplay=true is syncing up perfectly

this is from wikipedia and it's unsourced, but if it's true, looks good for us: "On September 2, 2011, Tressel was hired by the Indianapolis Colts as a consultant. Tressel was suspended by the Colts until the 7th game of the season due to his involvement in the NCAA violations during his tenure as head coach at Ohio State."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Tressel

it amazes me that a coach can start his career with a 14-0 streak, make it to the super bowl, and then after one bad year he's done. If Tressel's smart, he stays away from the NFL.

I honestly believe, with the interest Lebron has shown in our athletic programs, he could be our major booster once he's retired and starts getting bored. Now I can't stand Lebron James on a personal level, but as a great man used to say, you take money wherever it comes from for your cause, because "the Devil has had it long enough." i'd be worried OSUcks would get the majority of it

the only ones that want him are the ones that root for that school in Portage County. I thought you were going to avoid the football threads this week and avoid the rumor mill!!! I'm going to enjoy the idea that Tressel could end up in Akron while it lasts. BTW, Akron needs a Boone Pickens, so that stuff like this is never in doubt.

some are assuming Bolton will make a bid for Teal, I'd hate to see another talented American player in the EPL, especially when Series A is stronger (debate it all you want but look at the EUFA Champions League.. I'm in the camp of wanting to see the MLS grow with the MLS going after the best talent in the world (Messi or Ronaldo in Seattle).
