Interesting development, If YouTube isn't sleeping, I'm hoping he was/is on the phone tonight. Jim is starting to fill his staff with other coaches. Somebody could be out of a job soon and looking. I still don't think it will happen. From Footballscoop.com: UCLA: Sources close to the situation to us to expect Steve Broussard to join Jim Mora's staff. We are also told that Mora has offered the offensive coordinator position to Noel Mazzone. Mazzone, we hear, is waiting to see what happens at ASU before deciding. It's Now Official

Good for Joe. I wish him luck. Maybe he will make his way back here eventually. Wonder if he got an interview here???? Hard to know with this media lock down YouTube all has us under. I hope someone asked at the big meet and greet "who else was interviewed before you hired PW?" I'm dying to know.

Solution Already been there and done that. But when someone replies to his post…it is public again. Point taken.

I want Akron to hire a football coach that allows me to eventually follow the team on ESPN... I'm with you.

Not everybody here was buying the JT talk mind you. It may behoove Akron to let the dust settle a little and see who ends up with their dream job slipping through their fingers.

Thanks, good to hear. Hopefully this is the end of such threads.

I'm REAL surprised. Simply amazing.

Silly article, borderline ignorant: "Akron needs to hire a coach fans are going to WANT to follow on Twitter."-- Todd Porter from CantonRep.com. I don't WANT to follow any coach on Twitter, the new coach better not be wasting his time Twittering! If this job is done right, he won't have time for BS twitters, leave that to people with nothing to do like Alyssa Milano and James Harrison. Akron needs to hire a coach fans WANT to go see because he win games not because of some learn nothing tweet! Todd needs to write articles that make people WANT to click on them. I do not.

That outline of the coach is NOT Paul Winters?!?

I don't, I just want to hear the new coach tell me he has his work cut out for him, but he will work tirelessly to make the alumni proud of Akron football. Let us know how many more followers they get because of this announcement, I'm curious.

...and be on ZN two seconds after, if not before.

Find out who four (one being PSU) of those schools interviewed, wait until those four jobs are filled, and hire the best one that will take the job. Sit back and play MW3 until then. I'm half joking, but this plan is better than the last one.

I would have to interview all four and hear their plan to bring Akron football to a level the fans can be proud of. If I were YouTube, I would be racking up the Continental miles this week. Without interviewing, with what I know about the four, which is VERY little, I selected MJ in this poll. I have never spoke a word to any of these guys other than PW. It amazes me how adamant some are without all the information.

I'll go by PW's own words that were quoted in the PD yesterday. If he was not interested, would he have said so when given the opportunity? I think it was footballscoop that reported, look for PW to be announced Dec 19th. I think the whole time, U of A has just been waiting for PW to get done with his task at hand. The rest of the floated rumors are just that. How does footballscoop get there info? Think about it. One of the funnier things I read on there was, no word on the HC job for PSU, I know they haven't done this in a long time, but you need to contact us.

Stoops to Auburn?

Sounds like KD has his work cut out for himself. I wonder if KD 2.0 will go back to KD 1.0, or will he release KD 3.0?

Not to brag or anything, but I nailed it again.

Districtballer, what do you think the spread will be the twenty ninth? I watched part of the Richmond game... impressive!

I just can't see MJ taking this job unless Akron is willing to overpay. Maybe some donor is willing to step up.

BEFORE Rob was fired, I would have put Winters at even odds as the next Akron HC. The "Search" was lip service?!? Unfortunately this "search" is comparable to the last one. This is what disappoints me most. It HAS to be better than the last debacle...but is it the best we can do? Stay tuned...

Are there examples of coaches winning whatever PW is going to win and successfully moving to Div I from whatever division that PW is in? PS Does PW get Z-P back into Zips football?
