Problems with relying too much on the portal. It cuts different ways. Kids are going to look at these 2 seasons with Moorehead and think, 'why do I want to go there' especially when the record has been so bad for years. Kids currently on the squad can leave by the portal. If you have some talent and eligibily you may want to take a shot someplace else. Funny how the same names of the quality MAC programs keep popping up year after year..Toledo, OU etc.

please donn't blame the D. It has tried to carry Moorehead all season. At some point you just give up.

Maybe the graveyard.

Thank you!!!

When they hired Moorehead I thought, great. Nope. He doesn't even seem like he wants to be a head coach. Still wonder why he is not at Miami. One more season or we start all over again.

There are these players called running backs. We have some good ones! Use them!

Who else is ready to suit up? Does Getsy have any eligibilty left?(lol)

Unless Moorehead develops an effective run game, using RB's NOT QB's this thing is going nowhere this year.

Yep. Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead!

If only it were that easy. Why is a QB from a ,winning' program( your example)transferring to Akron? Lots of better choices even in the MAC Toledo,OU... Winning HS players? Where do they go? Big 10, maybe another P5 conference or another G5 conference? The program has to perform better consistently, not just every 10 years or so. Sad!

Amen. I can't count the number of Acme/Zip games I went to. Unfortunately, I am that old. That game was publicized all over the area by Acme and the media. Ya, the tickets were cheap but people showed. They had people parachuting into the Bowl among other entertainment attractions every year. If only for a short period of time people were interested in Akron football. Most of that is when Akron was DII. But they won. Then it stopped. Someone told me the University apparently thought it cheapened the product. Don't know that for sure. But, I have wondered for years why the University wouldn't reach out to local business to do something similar now. At least they might get some relativley big crowds a few times a year. The players would sure notice. And, it would sure make it a lot more attractive for the general public to attend a game or two. That said, Akron football never has, never will be a consistently big draw. But, the Athletic Department does nothing to try to improve visibility.

What I am afraid of is that some of his recruits, either from HS or via the portal may come in here, not like what they see or experience and leave by the portal. After 2 seasons, a name only goes so far. Players may see the record and question coming here.

I thought 6-6 before. With what I have NOT seen from the Zips and from what I have seen from the rest of the MAC, 3-9 might be a stretch.

Seriously, a shame about Irons. The thing you can say about him is he gave max effort. Hope he recovers.

Don't look now but BGSU beat a bad G.Tech team. Looks like a race to the bottom.

Yep!

Genius?

Not his fault that Moorehead put them in that position that late in the game!

Why is he not at Miami with Cristobal????? J.D. was the brains here.

Does anyone actually know why Cristobal didn't take Moorehead to Miami? I don't want speculation.

I see plays called with many passes at or behind the line of scrimmage. I see receivers who catch the ball with backs turned to the field. Play calling!

How ironic that they 'honored' Jim Dennison, the coach that got screwed when they hired Faust. I think Dennison even got them into the 1-AA playoffs 1 year after they statrted to move to D-1. No, they had to have a high school dropout who couldn't even win at ole' ND. The program has never been the same.

As we all know here at Akron, coaches are clearly not infallible. They make LOTS of mistakes. We are witnessing just that this season...again.

Or the coaches can't utilize him properly.

Last week WAS a mirage!
