Think of the coaching talent they have had at The Mount.

Those guys coming out of IUP always worth a look....Akron.

No, some people at the school have to change their commitments.

KSU fires their CH during the season and yet ends up with exactly the same record as Akron. I have been and will continue to maintain that Akron can not compete at the DI level unless some huge changes in commitment are coming from the Administration. Simply changing the HC might make some feel better. But that alone won't get long term improvement.

Puzzling to me. KSU was branded as the worst team in the MAC. Fire their HC during the season. Then got hot. Finished 5-7 overall, 4-4 in the MAC AND beat the Zips. Akron finishes 5-7, 4-4 after how many years. Someone please help me with this.

I'm not dismissing the 2004/2005 accomplishments. I was as damn excited as ANYBODY. I have been watching these guys since th late '60s. Owens finally had the program moving back in a positive direction. I'm not knocking JD. But after the '05 season and things started regressing he even said they got lucky before they got good. And he said he took some chances on recruits who were good athletes but bad citizens i.e. David Harvey. Back then they didn't have a defense. Cost them games. Shoot if I thought JD could do it again I would hire him.

I loved Biggsy! You really think that w/o Frye,Hixon, Blackburn some of the O-line Owens brought in Akron would have been as good in 2004? Naw. JD got his QB in Getsy and still had Hixon and some O-line. Biggsy was a great piece of that offense. Hixon caught the pass from Getsy in the MAC Champ game. And actually they had a losing season in 2006 if I remember correctly. 5-7. 3-5 in the MAC. Owens guys were gone.

So what's the answer Knute?

Why would Indiana get rid of the primero of Western Pennsylvania football. Akron had a chance to hire Tressel, one of the Cignettis etc. a long time ago. Day late and another $ short.

JDs first year. Charley's last season. Winning record but no Bowl invite. Lee Owens recruit's mainly. I believe they may have beaten Marshall? etc. etc.

Unfortunately too many delusional on here who ignore history and think the program can compete at this level. STOP!

Old news!

We have always had too many people posting here who don't know a damn thing about Akron football from more than 10 yrs. ago because they are too lazy to look it up. There ain't no revelations here that haven't been out here for years. Maybe that's a reason the program is where it is. A bunch of latecomers to the ball!

Well no VT is no go. At best 1 win in the first 4 again.

Well.. a win is a win. Before the season I said 4-4 in the MAC was minimum. They got that. But I also said major program changes were/are needed. Yep. The more I read posts here about the lack of support from Administration for for football the more obvious it is. If the Admin. refuses to support the program at a DI level then they have to get out of DI! The record spesks for itself. Changing coaches is like moving the bulbs on the Xmas tree. Same tree. Either put up for DI or drop to 1AA or DII where U can afford to compete every season. Not a big Moorehead fan anymore but the problems go far deeper.
