Your point isn't wrong. I just want to emphasize this item here. I don't know what the AD and the department did differently for the Kent game. But it worked. And I hope dearly they do a bunch more of it going into next year, because with actual Saturday games, they could actually get a real crowd for a couple of them (provided the team is at least competent, which was definitely hit and miss this year).

I don't know what Goodrich's plans are with football, but it doesn't feel that this would be. New logo wouldn't be awful, though, the A is incredibly uninspiring. Maybe Goodrich could also work on getting some Akron gear that's available for purchase anywhere that people might want to buy, too... The marketing and crowd they did get for the Wagon Wheel game last week gives me hope that they are finally starting to get serious about the program...and if they are going to at least even get a little closer on the budget BS...maybe you just ride it with everyone and see what happens. Guess I shouldn't be angry at that; it does make sense.

Yes, he has to leave on his own. It's just...kinda feels like he's going to do that.

This is also pretty fair. It's OK to be better at just being the offensive coordinator and keeping your head down.

This is probably the most correct take.

I totally understand this thought process. Obviously, I don't agree. But it's a very well-reasoned argument.

We keep Joe for six more years we might even see a bowl game. Nah, no thanks, I'm ready to try again.

Take the win. Hopefully it helps Joe get that OC job under James Franklin. Thanks for trying, but we've had enough.

Or perhaps the worst interception throw we've ever seen.

Save the best for last I guess

If it gets him to Virginia Tech to be the OC, let them keep talking.

Maybe not!

We really did use up all the MACtion last week

Now we just need a safety to help make sure no overtime in this crapfest. Hopefully the offensive genius has been talking to his old boss who just moved to Blacksburg

The same odds I get all my hair back by then without a trip to Turkey.

Ben Finley's NFL comp is Mason Rudolph.

Well, Akron probably gave up after losing last week.

Yes for sure. Kicking has been an adventure but overall Schramm has been the better kicker for Akron.

At least they kept BG out of the end zone. Probably doesn't bode well for the whole game if we give QB17 or whatever BG is up to a 14 play drive.

Maybe he meant IFL

What, is he training to be a sports analyst?

The game kinda showed me that...Finley maybe wasn't as much the problem as I've thought for awhile. Maybe he's no solution, but I don't know that Moorhead would adjust much for the next QB either. Finley's best offense may actually be a Mumme air raid where...he's just chucking the hell out of it without regard to consequences (Tim Couch's last year at Kentucky for example, he threw for 4611 with the bowl game and the whole team ran for about 1650 when disregarding sacks). Moorhead doesn't strike me as a coach who adjusts his system very well to what his players do best. May not be the best for the team as we have multiple capable backs, but...

Since he's already grumbling about how he doesn't have the support to complete, maybe the angle is to make it clear HE'S not getting it...

No, Wistrcill is replacing a different yet-to-be-publicly-announced departures.

I think that's one of the reasons Carney seems a better fit. He's no introvert. Not that introversion is bad...I'm an introvert haha. But head ball coach isn't necessarily the best role for an introvert.
