Thanks for posting a recap. I hope the community starts to support. I LOVE the way (enthusiastic and often) coach Moorhead says "Go Zips!" I need to isolate that sound bite, and make it my ringtone for certain Zip fans. 🙂

I'll agree to disagree.

I have watched enough crummy teams at the Info. Now that Moorhead is here, I'm happy Kentucky is coming. Something for Zip fans to get excited about for once. Kentucky will bring a good amount of fans to the game. Back in 2010 when we went to the Kentucky game, we had a blast with their fans! Tailgating for Kentucky will be a good atmosphere. Tailgating for some FCS BS team is a borefest. Been there, done that. I remember Lot 9 for Indiana, awesome, I would expect the same for Kentucky. But that's all I care to remember about that day.

If Moorhead leaves for another college job, he will owe the university a buyout of $600,000 (four years remaining on the contract), $500,000 (three years remaining), $400,000 (two years remaining) or $100,000 (one year remaining). If Moorhead leaves for the NFL, he owes Akron $100,00 during the first four years of the contract.

Paul Rhoads New coordinator coming in, could signal other staff changes?

• Favorite part, the play call and formation from the TD pass that won Akron the MAC Championship • Second, knowing how important it is to beat your rival (coach Bowden did the same) • Third, saying "Go Zips!" You can tell he is a genuine Zips fan • Fourth, mentioning coaching the bowl game and saying "I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do" • Mentioning Monetary as the third reason for coming here behind Personal, and Professional reasons Well done. Homerun imo.

My favorite part was repeating the play call, and description to the TD pass from Getsy to Hixon. 62 Z poster smash! 🥳

One thing I learned from coach Moorhead's previous time at Akron, he is a type A personality. Coaching the bowl game doesn't surprise me at all. Doesn't concern me either. Could be used as a recruiting tool as well.

Coach Moorhead is an excellent communicator. Looking forward to this as well. Not expecting to learn a lot. Probably more motivational, and positive outlook speech.

I think I would phrase that as, "Bowden landed on Akron." This hire seems different to me. Seems more professional. At least I hope.

It's possible this update is still working in the background, and needs some time. Please check late today or tomorrow. I'll fill out a ticket if you tell me it still doesn't work tomorrow. Thanks for testing 👍

Minor update run this morning. Supposed to fix bugs from the last big upgrade. @LZIp Does this fix your embedded Twitter issue?

The first time a friend saw the Z logo on the JAR floor, he commented to me “oh, so they used Northwestern’s logo and rotated it” I have a hard time not seeing that now. It’s slowly grown on me over the years, but I give it a C- at best.

Info

I added the Roo as a choice.

This thread needs a poll. @a-zip this is your topic. I don't think you can edit a poll into this thread. If you started another thread with a poll, I could merge this one into it.

If he wants him, I'm sure he will communicate with him. Shouldn't be hard to sell coach Moorhead's offensive philosophies. I would guess coach Moorhead will bring in a veteran transfer to "compete."

I hope someone is wise enough to get these guys some Zips gear.

Pete Thamel is

I would guess Bob Shoop would be wanted on the Akron staff.

The Brian Callahan that coached for the Zips, is now the OL coach at the University of Minnesota with PJ. Bill coaches with the Browns. Callahan and his wife, Valerie, have four children: daughters Cathryn and Jaclyn, and sons Brian and Daniel. Brian serves as the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. Two different Brian Callahans

I will not be in attendance this Thursday. Sorry. Note: ZipsNation.org will get to interview coach Moorhead during spring practices. There will be more interesting information available for ZN members then.
