Spielman wasn't a good player, heck he isn't even a good announcer. He has no coaching experience and quite frankly, no people skills. He was a 2 time All American and 4 time Pro Bowler. Much better player than me at least. He had no arena league talent.

This whole thing is zany. Even for an internet chat board it's zany. As zany as thinking all of Notre Dame's 5th year seniors were going to leave ND to rescue the Zips. There are a number of good jobs open for experienced coaches this year and not a large number of big names looking. Akron is forever hamstrung by their inability to pay big $$ to get a top name. Those top names are either taking time off or moving into top assistant roles where they can live good and make big $$ while waiting out another opportuntiy or not (see Mike Stoops). Crazy things could happen, like Mike Johnson returning to Akron instead of the NFL, but the smart money is on a DII coach moving up. Winters? Could be. However, just to show I can't avoid the all the wacky fun, how about Chris Spielman?
