You could well be right. $61.6M doesn't go all that far, even in 2008. That said, I think we'd all be a little happier had they gone with the $55M option. Loss of revenue for one game (the opener that sold out), and that much less to pay. But, can't put that toothpaste back in the tube. We can't be sure Proenza hadn't convinced everyone that they wouldn't need to game the system to average 15K... (fwiw the NCAA enforcing this on Akron might not have been a bad thing, haha)

After a coaching performance like today while the entire Athletic department is doing excellent work in creating a great gameday atmosphere... They can't afford to fire Joe, but they certainly are having discussions to see if it's somehow possible anyways.

Are we sure it wasn't repairable? It was very old, but it wouldn't have cost anywhere near $70M to fix up. The biggest problem with InfoCision's plan is that it's just too large for what Akron is. A 20,000 seater probably would have been ample, if even that much.

Not that we know anything about a boondoggle athletic facility.

I mean, yeah. That would be nice when you can't throw. I was just remarking that it wasn't actually as "throw throw throw" as it felt

Correct. He isn't in consideration for an offensive coordinator job for any school with a pulse.

Whenever they move on from Joe...whoever was on that hiring committee should probably stay off the next one.

To be fair to the offensive genius, we have 29 run plays and 26 passes. We're not passing "too much" except for to note that Roggow just doesn't have it today.

There's definitely a real question here. You can't then magnify your limitations by hiring the wrong coach and then extending him.

In Year 5, we're losing by three scores to a CMU team that can't throw the ball. In Year 2, Kent State's tied 10-10 with Ohio in the third quarter.

Now you know that doesn't fly around here. It's hopeless, and 14-39 after today is actually really good!

Akron with a successful drive to take this from a three score game to a three score game.

Is it that quick? Wow

Yes, that's why they absolutely must have a coach who can actually make his players better. And they don't have one.

I don't actually get this impression. I think the players are trying. They're not being coached up at all, but they are trying.

Absolutely not. Joe needs more time to establish his program. Truth be told, Akron can't afford to fire him. We're stuck for 19 1/2 more games of this.

We aren't beating Kent, the way we're playing.

Wonder if Goodrich is still hoping for 20,000 for homecoming next week.

That's probably a rarity. I don't know of any other examples of Joe being outcoached.

They are definitely calling the correct game for their QB2 who is rattled against a defense blitzing the daylights out of him.

Well the run game worked too well on that last drive, so let's not do that anymore.

Great fourth down defense there, Akron

"He's gonna get 3 3 3 and all of a sudden a first down." Buddy that's 9. We didn't get the A-level MAC announcing crew...

Wild how that works.

Got an "and goal" again after a dumb CMU penalty. Let's see how we get to a punt this time.
