I hear they are just negotiating what his assistants will make.

BINGO!

You could have great facilities and continue to lose...know of any place like that?I hope I get a chance to complain about a head coach that is 61-5 (.924).

I agree! Resume seems a little thin. In 1999, he was named one of the top-10 recruiters in the nation by ESPN.com and one of the top six recruiters nationally by Sporting News.

I'm starting to like Chuck the more I read about him: JD said it was hard to recruit DL, so he run the stack. Chuck can suspend three, and still play four at a Div II school?!?Able to adjust the defenseI might have to set the DVR for Saturday's game on ESPN2 at 1 pm....just in case.

Sources indicate that Stoops was “very impressive” during the interview at FSUI'm telling you guys (well just eguin), you (YSU) need to get DJ Durkin as your next head coach.

I'll never see it.

I agree, good luck to him, and if it doesn't work out, who knows, he might end up back here at some time anyway.

How can that be? I thought he was just negotiating his coaches salaries and signing on the dotted line? Something about hitting a home run. At least he is interesting in playing ball for us, not the Kangaroos down the road in Akron. Or he is using YSU as a negotiating dummy.

This just in, ZN has learned that eguins is on suicide watch.

People who play/coach defense have the brains of an ant. Anyone with half of a brain plays offense. We need an offensive coach who won't run a gimmick defense and we will be fine. My guy will have played TE in college, coached defense in college or pros, and maybe has some head coaching experience, his first name might be Mike...(I'm not speaking of a specific guy, there are a few of these guys out there)

So...hard...to...agree...with...UAkronkid...must...resist....I'm still of the opinion that it is easier to get a good offensive staff than a good defensive staff at Akron (my proof is in the last two decades of Zips football). I want my head guy to be from the defensive side of the ball so that side gets more attention. IMO I feel that defensive guys make better head coaches because they know the game better. I know there are examples that prove this otherwise, but it's my opinion. I can hire my OC off this team.

Youngstown State: The entire city of Youngstown is anxious to find out why Mark Stoops has yet to be named head coach at YSU. We wonder if a major BCS program is interested in Stoops as a DC. Jimbo? Some people believe if Arizona AD Jim Livengood in the next few days, Livengood would turn around and hire Stoops as the UNLV head coach.source

I'm not a huge fan. Offensive guy. Who likes the Pirates, Taco Bell and the theater??? Sounds like an offensive coordinator to me, not a head coach at Akron.

Tom better find a guy with a sense of humor. I think THAT is most important thing.

Hixon is Peter Kings special teams player of the week. Another MAC player is offensive player of the week.Domenik Hixon, PR/WR, New York Giants.Nursing a 24-17 lead with six minutes left, the Giants' punt-return team lined up for a boomer by Dallas' Mat McBriar. Fielding it at his 21, Hixon weaved and deked for a few yards, then found an alley down the right side. He got two good blocks and sprinted into the end zone. Ballgame.

If your a good coach, your a good coach, you don't change over night. Spurrier left Florida and was successful with SC, Saben left LSU and is successful with Alabama. You just can't say because someone was fired, we can't interview him, especially at Akron if you have a chance to hire someone that was successful as a head coach on a bigger stage.PS I hope you realize there is no "formula" to hire a head coach, or everybody would be successful.

I was just putting a face with a name for ZN. What coach can impress being interviewed now a days? They use one cliche after another so as to not say the wrong thing. Ask me any question about Zips football, and I'll answer it like JD used to do. I can tell you his answer before you ask the question.

Rump, you have to win as the most doom and gloom, the sky is falling poster on the football board. You do realize that we have only had TEN division I victories that aren't Ken+ or EMU (who hardly count as Div I) in the past FOUR years. (Read that sentence back a few times until you realize how crummy that is, then continue.) So what ever we were doing, it wasn't working! You want an assignment? I'll give you one. Tell every guy on defense to start studying the 4-3. Tell the kickers to practice high booming kicks. Do this, & we'll double our wins next year.

Even though Virginia is going to hire him today, I like the type of guy we are interested in...defensive guy with head coaching experience.I am also glad that we are not only looking at local guys who some posters think we need because they can "recruit this area" I think that's hog wash.

After 11 pts & 5 rebounds against A&M, Jimmy is starting to meet CK's high expectations.

25 Examples of the ONLY Oregon apparel any real man should be worried about!?!? THIS is how you get recruits to sign!

No inside information. I just don't feel PW has an adequate resume for this job.
