I agree. When news broke that we were hiring Moorhead, Carmen was so excited on the radio. He sounded just like one of us!

Only Kent would run up over 650 yards on offense and still lose by 14!

Obviously I'd love for us to get Thompson, Butterfield or Ashford, but we'd be more likely to get one of the "other" QB's if we get any of them based on star ratings of the top guys and where they are from.

I agree. I'm hoping that with the signing of Bo Nix at Oregon, maybe Moorhead can sway one of the other Oregon QB's to follow him here now.

Yeah, that scared me too. Brought back memories of the 3-3-5!

It's been quite a while!

There are lots of high 3 star players from P5 schools all over the portal. With our new and experienced coaching staff, I sure hope we can convince several of them to come to Akron. There are also some 4 star as well, but I'm not sure we can get any of them, but here's hoping!

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Moorhead made it sound like he already has all the assistants chosen, but it is merely a matter of HR procedures.

Maybe we can get a pipeline for recruits from St. Thomas Aquinas to Akron!

92.3 The Fan just had Moorhead on for an interview. He said a lot of the same things as he did in the Press Conference, but what stood out to me was that he was doing the interview from the parking lot of Hoban High School. Nice to see him over there already! My favorite part of this interview was when he said that wearing little slogans on shirts won't win football games. I hated that stupid "Our Way" crap.

Like getting the Wagon Wheel back, competing in and winning MAC Championships and gaining Bowl eligibility.

I thought the exact same thing about him only receiving 3 questions! Pretty pathetic.

He said during the Press Conference that the full staff will be in place by January 2nd. It sounds like he has the people lined up, but he alluded to it really being a matter of HR finalization.

Sounds good to me. If I recall, many of our best players have come from there in the past.

I would prefer the Z logo and a "Chromed" helmet.

Obviously those two terrible performances in Florida really affected us.

Michael Penix Jr. Indiana QB now in the Portal. 2 years of eligibility.

Well that stinks! Would have been great to have him on our staff.

Is there a press conference scheduled for today or one day this week to formally introduce Joe Moorhead, in person, as our new coach?

I'm looking forward to seeing our offense run under his guidance for sure. I guess what I am most excited about is the hope that, with his many coaching connections over the years, he will bring in a defensive coordinator that has the experience and determination to build a great defense here at Akron.

So far we are looking a little better offensively, but barely.

Ever wonder if something is off with the rims? Not an excuse, but everyone looks ridiculous in all these games. I know, this is probably the dumbest thing I've ever said on this board, but I've seen it happen before.

It's in Fort Myers, so most people would be at the beach. Lol

I get that. I'm just saying that based on the team since Groce has been the coach, this team has consistently been one of if not the top MAC team.

What a joke. There is no way we should be out of the Top 100.
