I'm not against hiring the guy, I'm against believing we actually have a chance of it. It's simply not going to happen and even Luke Fickell is a long shot. We were in this exact same spot two years ago and look how that turned out! We hired a no-name coach who drove us into the ground. So may I ask, why should I think positively about this next hire when we've had such disastrous results in recent history?
I'm for all the negativity, but the ridiculous optimism on this board just ends in disappointment. Every year the predictions and optimism about our teams are about 95% wrong around ZipsNation. This years basketball team is a perfect example.
Just don't get your hopes up Zips fans...
I agree about Jim Tressel. He has a nice job working for the colts I don't think he'll coach at Akron(but I could be wrong, and would like him to coach here). Luke though I think might actually want to coach here. With urban myers heading to OSU I think Luke will leave to be a head coach else where. He led OSU pretty well considering what the program was going through.
