Well in this case, they don't have the dollars. We also don't know if they actually have the desire...

Sac State is angry now that "we paid you all this money and you didn't even put Akron on our schedule?!"

Moorhead is a good offensive coordinator if he has elite talent that can do exactly what he wants. Beyond that, we have limited evidence. Agree, Akron can't afford to fire him. The best they can do is see if there's a way in the contract to make him annoyed enough to leave. Maybe 10 "OC of the game" each week, one for each game, and the winners can veto Joe?

Great writeup as always. EMU by 20. Akron isn't winning another game this year with how it's looking right now.

Nice recap. They're certainly discussing if the money to make a move can be found. I don't think they're going to find it. MAYBE this time next year when he's only got a few games left. But what's the point then? That season's already lost by then, because all you have left are the empty stadium games anyways. Akron will always have significant disadvantages because of the NIL situation. As a result, Akron desperately needs a coach who can get his undermanned team to believe, while also having a coaching staff that can coach guys up. We don't have either of those right now.

Both. I'll settle for playcalling duties replaced for both. What was done to Roggow today was reprehensible. What in the DeShone Kizer Browns was that?

Especially in the PAC-12.

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.
