Like others, I'm not getting my hopes up until there is an official announcement. I'm an Akron/NE Ohio sports fan. Been let down too many times.

Not to mention its already been reported his buyout is being covered by donors.

I believe Moorhead would have plenty of time to prove himself since this AD would be the one hiring him, lessening the potential of a buyout. I don't agree that we can't afford him, assuming donors are stepping up to the plate. Donors are free to designate their money however they'd wish. If we are increasing general student fees by anything other than an inflation adjustment as a result, then I'd probably agree...not something we should be doing Another way to look at it is that the right coach can be well worth the additional investment if said coach elevates the program enough to increase attendance/revenue in a way that more than makes up the difference of the additional cost. Lastly, Guthrie just scheduled a rare 3rd pay day game next year with Tennessee. That extra revenue (probably in the $1.5m + range offhand) alone should allow us to cover extra costs for a few years.

LA Tech hiring somebody not named Joe Moorehead...

It would be huge. As I mentioned in the other thread, when I watched Trayanum - it must have been during the 2020 season - he looked like a stud as a true freshman and I believe was the starter.

Probably above our level. Wonder what happened here though. In the little I watched of ASU, seems like he was doing really good there. 247Sports Transfer Portal on Twitter: "Arizona State RB DeaMonte Trayanum has entered the transfer portal, per @SunDevilSource. A 2020 four-star recruit, he's rushed for 691 yards on 5.4 ypc in his Sun Devils career. https://t.co/ctf2pKtA9I" / Twitter

Apparently going to Old Dominion

Comes with the territory of leadership change. Him entering the portal doesn't necessarily mean he's gone for good. Buffalo's head coach was able to keep Marks last year after he entered. 247Sports Transfer Portal on Twitter: "Akron QB Zach Gibson has entered the transfer portal. He's thrown 2,471 yards and 15 TDs in his career. https://t.co/Gwkcv0fuxG" / Twitter

Would fill a need and is a local guy to boot for our new coach...also I apparently don't know how to imbed with the software update? 247Sports Transfer Portal on Twitter: "UCLA true freshman EDGE rusher A.J. Campbell has entered the portal. https://t.co/lbYwh0FDli" / Twitter

One of two G5 players on this list. Rich Cirminiello on Twitter: "🚨BREAKING🚨 Announcing this year's Freshman All-American Team, a collection of young stars from across the country... https://t.co/bHJDjeKktZ" / Twitter

Temple job opening up kind of scares me if he's looking to get back to this general area of the country.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to work today with this potential news. Constantly refreshing Zipsnation and twitter.

Holy crap

I respect the others' opinions on this board who has met him. Their opinion of him is likely correct, but he's really only got one shot to get the hire right. Us swinging big and pursuing Wilson at OSU is encouraging to me. The other names in the articles didn't intrigue me a ton, but that doesn't mean they can't be successful.

Jonesing for news over here.

Scheduling 3 (or even 2) pay day games a year rather than you’re traditional or more common 1 more than pays for the potential increase in salary if we want to step our commitment up.

Holliday is good and his time at Marshall seemed to end with weird politics, not because of the product on the field. He's only one year removed from the game. If we can get him to coach 'til 70 (5 or 6 years) and groom a future HC under him...that's pretty tempting. Continuity is key to having a successful program.

Believe he left as a result of Joe Moorhead getting fired, meaning likely wasn't retained by new staff.

20+ yard TD run on what would have been the last play of the game to lose against the spread. Unbelievable.

And its still alive thanks to my boy Norrils!! Kato has had that check down all day...just hasn't thrown it/seen him.

You spoke too soon. The fact is we were plenty shorthanded to begin with. Playing a bunch of back ups only compounds this misery. This game can't get over soon enough.

I concur. However, I bet Michigan would have fired Harbaugh by this point if they wouldn't have owed him so much $$. They did make him take a pay cut IIRC. Same goes for Nebraska and Frost. Sometimes being hamstringed by your own dumb decisions can pay off. More patience is needed in CFB.

new coach needs to concentrate on defense defense defense.

I'm liking what I'm seeing out of Singleton.

3rd and 36 and they score a TD lol. Can we fire Feeney mid game?
