Do I see Kyle Pohl to Phil Ferguson for a couple 50+ yard TD's this year??

I think one of the funniest parts of this is actually the comments and not the article itself. Many of the people posting completely disregard the actual article to discuss Kansas basketball.

I heard the same thing...ironically it was right after I had just finished explaining to my wife why I hate OSU. Perfect timing. I was wondering if I was the only person who heard that message loud and clear!

I was wondering the same thing this morning about NewZipsFan.

I would like for us to play NC State, OK State and Xavier.

They were completely un-watchable last night!

Same here!

Isn't the Big East already using our Stiles Facility for the Big East Indoor Track & Field Championships? I know they were in the past.

Here's my favorite quote from Bowden in the article. "I can talk about this, talk about that. The only thing that changes anything is winning." And how many times can they mention Brian Wagner???

One of his traits shows "coverage skills". If he has some speed, maybe we'd have ourselves a big DB prospect??

Let's hope we can land this kid.

I totally agree. I also want to play get on some sort of rotation to play Cincy.

Ellet HS 1987 Akron BSBA 1993 Advertising/Marketing Still in the Ellet area.

Yes. I thought the exact same thing when I was watching.

Ask the LSU offense if the line play is important. Anyone who watched that game last night saw what a dominating defensive line can do to a good team. Alabama's d line made LSU look like our 2011 offense. I hope we can put together a dominating defensive line and and offensive line that will allow us time to make plays.

Amato was a great D Coordinator at FSU. He's one of those guys that is a great coordinator, but not so much at being head coach. I like this hire if it happens.

Here's an interesting quote also. "According to the source, Bowden reached out to Akron."

big time football name family member. Sounds like Bowden

Canton Repository just posted that they spoke with Tressel's people and that he has been at his home all day in columbus and that he is not taking a coaching job at Akron. Urban Meyer wasn't talking to Ohio State last week about coaching either.

I like that idea!

Formula is hire an experienced HC that has a history of consistent winning and running a good program. There are many D1-AA coaches out there that fit the bill. I'm not opposed to that either, but proven coordinators for former HC's rom BCS schools should also be considered. I think you even said so yourself in a post the other day. Just don't hire anymore stinking recruiting coordinators or position coaches with little or no experience. In almost 25 years since joining 1A, this school still hasn't figured out how to hire a football coach. Yes, I did say that. I have no problem with a coordinator. If it's the right one. They can be tricky though. They haven't been the head dog and some aren't cut out for HC. Some coordinators are great until they become the HC and then they forget all knowledge of football. I agree about no more freaking position coaches though. John Harbough was a position coach (so was the Atlanta HC I think). There really is not set formula. I think you should look at programs that have a history of hiring good coaches and emulate their evaluation process. Call the Steelers. They always know how to hire a HC.

+1. But these are interesting times. I've been a religious follower of UA basketball for about 20-years now, but the early-season success we experienced in beating a BCS team is uncharted waters for me. IIRC, we've always lost those early-season matchups. I'm still concerned about Valpo & Duquesne this weekend. I am new to internet communication lingo. What does IIRC mean?? "If I Recall Correctly" It took me awhile too!

AND...did anyone notice we are one of the "Others Receiving Votes" in the AP Poll?

Based on good information; do not expect an official announcement until next Thursday. According to MaxPreps he committed. http://www.maxpreps.com/athletes/UdlPmOIMB...ake-kretzer.htm
