our 3 best pieces right now are likely a traditional QB and two WRs. It would be such an Akron move to go to the triple option.

Just took a peek at the Dookies record. 1-2 with a win over Rider and losses to Weber State and Hofstra. YIKES.

I'm pretty sure its just the $20 to access that area. I believe you can buy beer elsewhere throughout the arena, but I didn't attend so can't confirm!

Does not compute.

So he was interested in YSU, but not Akron. Suuuurreeee. He was never a candidate. It's embarrassing the local media reported as much.

I want to make it clear I wasn't advocating for him, just making it known. If I had to guess, he would win some here, but leave us high and dry as soon as he could in a likely inconvenient position. Not somebody I want.

Whatever you think of Petrino the person, he has won everywhere he's been at the collegiate level.

So Thamel says we can't afford to gamble on upside (which I agree with), then Feldman says we are looking at George? lol. Should be fun! George would be the least experienced coach we've ever hired. Lambert seems to have good, well rounded experience and has spent a significant amount of time at programs who recruit Ohio, but his 22-48 record as HC at Charlotte is worrisome. I don't have much thoughts on him at Purdue this year. Odom doesn't seem to have a connection to the area, but looking at his Wikipedia, it looks like he actually did okay at Missouri considering its Missouri. He went 25-25 in total and was only 38 when hired, so definitely able to learn from that experience and continue to grow I'd think. His D at Arkansas appears to be top 1/3rd-ish from a quick look on ESPN. Tony Alford just may be my favorite. He's from the area, has been a great recruiter (ranked #11 out of all coaches last year), has ND, OSU, and other P5's on his resume, and has had the Associate HC title at OSU and Iowa State. He's definitely one of the best position coaches in the country. He's definitely somebody I'd take from OSU, but I'm not sure if we can put up the $$ to get him if we wanted if I'm being honest. That seems to be a tight knit staff considering the status, job security, and pay that come with it. Kevin Wilson likely not a bad choice, but I don't think we can afford the $$ for him once again. Per Wikipedia, he's making 1.2 million this year. Mike London's resume is kind of all over the place. Seems he parlayed one FCS championship and another solid year at Richmond with predominately Dave Clawson's players to a HC job with Virginia. He did bad at VA (27-46). He had a good first year at Howard, then jumped after the 2nd year, which was a losing season, to take his current role at William & Mary where he is 12-13 thus far (6-4 this year). At the FCS level over his career, he was pulled off FBS wins vs ULNV and Duke

Prather and Johnson has to be Groce’s best group of high schooler’s in any class yet for us, right?

Who do you have in mind?

The Portage John’s make a change at DC prior to our game. https://footballscoop.com/news/kent-state-is-making-a-change-at-defensive-coordinator

Ali is a tremendous talent..just needs to be assertive on a consistent basis. He plays more passive than he should generally. Said the same last year.

Out of likes, but I agree. It’s a fake cost.

Btw, who was saying Walton wouldn’t start the season?

Weird, I heard the new AD is top notch….yet we can’t even buy tickets online ?

I believe it is actually. I remember reading about them paying other MAC schools (maybe Buffalo) to come there in the past, thought it obviously isn’t really comparing to the other ones.

Come on. This staff had coaches leave for better programs/promotions to Tulsa, Buffalo,Troy, South Alabama, the LA Rams, the Denver Broncos, the Green Bay Packers, and Michigan State. Clearly all of these programs and franchises didn’t see them as a joke or underqualified.

Seeing multiple media folk on Twitter say firing Arth was premature, especially how the team has played the last 2 games. Pressures on, Guthrie.

Only rush 4 and you still get beat over the top...

Really weak call on Watts

Whew. Come on D!!!!

We got a stop!!

ehh its a big miss in yet another lost season, but I actually think Smigel is a fine MAC kicker.

and Mathison and Mumpfield and likely Norrils. I'll definitely be evaluating the coach right away based on the amount of building blocks on this team he's able to retain.

What are you even talking about? 1) Arth recruited Mumpfield and has started him all year as a true freshman 2) He is the leading WR on the team.
