Paul Winters was never going to take the job here. We waiting and waiting which we all knew he would never be our HC. Now Akron has paid the price for waiting on him.
A diviosn II coach with a below 500 conference record in 8 years turns down the Akron job. What's crazy is we tried to hire him. Maybe the next offer we can get it right...............SOMEONE WHO HAS A COACHING PEDIGREE AND WILL ACTUALLY DOMINATE THE LEAGUE, NOT JUST A BELOW 500 RECORD IN A DIVISION II CONFERENCE.
MAYBE A NEW POLL SHOULD BE STARTED FOR THE NEW SEARCH.......................?
a 500 record Overall and below 500 in conference record is not dominance and quite frankly isn't winning either. So if we want dominance hire someone who can bring it.....................
No , i won't go away.................
I hope we do make the right hire, lets just be sure we do....................
And yes the administration pays attention to this unofficial web home for Akron Zips fans..................
Thats great that every player that plays for him loves him, thats a plus.
But winning is apart of it as well. Winning and building Tradition. We didn't have it with him here for ten years, can he bring it now????????????
don't see many successful losing coordinators making great head coaches, hence the 500 record or so at Wayne State and a below 500 conference record at Wayne State
Paul Winters as OC at Akron 3 winning seasons out of 10
I'm not saying he is or isn't the guy, I am just asking???????????????
Narduzzi must have pulled out for a reason........................
Im just an Akron grad trying to figure out who is the best coach????????????? With an open mind!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just looking at the facts and weighing options....................
Pretty good resume for such a young coach, has coached at:
Michigan - QB Coach
Central Michigan - QB Coach
Detroit Lions - QB Coach
Florida - QB Coach
Temple - OC/QB Coach
Just saying not a bad resume and he has recruited Ohio for some time now. Looks like he would probably have a pretty good staff with some of the schools he has coached previously.
Brian Griese
Scott Driesbach
Tom Brady
Drew Henson
John Navarre
Chad Henne
Matt Gutierrez
Ryan Mallet
Tim Tebow
Sounds like pretty good pedigree as an OC/QB coach to me for such a young coach.
