what about OSU if Motta is canned?
Still has Ohio roots.
Better arena, Better conference,
His LBJ connection would still be intact with OSU.
Better salary vs. Cost of living
Better recruiting
Ohio native
His children have graduated from UA.
yeah.......USF was a pipe dream....but OSU would make sense if the shoe drops!
per Jeff Goodman about KD USF job.
Akron’s Keith Dambrot turned down South Florida in fear of a ravaged roster, source told ESPN. AD Mark Harlan wanted someone to clean it up. Doesn't say he wants to stay at Akron!
really?? toilets. do you do that at Blossom too? the line is too long....i'll go in the woods! While the JAR needs an upgrade.. its not a bad place to see a game. I have been a season ticket holder for a couple years with a friend(fellow alumni). this year was the first year i said i wasn't interested in attending the non conference schedule although i did attend Marshall & Coppin St. I will probably do the same if the OOC is similar to this years. I'd rather have one marquee game and maybe a game against a similar opponent. But until that happens we have to deal with what we have.
why doesn't KD do something creative like that!!!! Kudos to the Illinois St coach, who's getting a home & home with Ole Miss! who happens to be in the NIT as well!
Well.....now this is a gut check game! You have 4 players from that area who should be motivated to play in front of their family and friends. Its time for Antino to step up and lead this team! I believe he is the one who could benefit the most. This smells like an upset but it has to come from Antino & Utomi.......i would take away the leadership from Johnson & Cheatum. They are playing for next year on Weds.
Oh, I don't know. Maybe a coach who's happy to be in his hometown, has been coaching there for 13 years, and would have probably left a long time ago if that was what "all MAC coaches want to do"?
If they weren't motivated to play their rival in a championship game to earn a ticket to the dance; you think their going to be motivated to play away games in the NIT???? Please reference all those great wins in the CIT & CBI tourneys!!!
Funny I saw some comments about Kent being a 14-15 and Will get throttled. Guess they are missing the point that we aren't in the dance and they are as a #6 seed. You think Akron could do that??? No way in h...........!!!
He's not a big game coach. Can't win the big game. Can't win on TV. Couldn't win a bracket buster game. For all you homers out there if you want him. You better change his staff cause they are making him look bad.
Who cares!!! They'll be a lower seed cause they beat nobody and their SOS is weak. So they will travel to a big program and lose by 10-20pts. If this team didn't have heart tonight. They won't have it ever!!!!!
Interesting that you didn't bring up his NCAA, NIT, CBB, CIT record. Weren't some of those seasons where Akron got a bye all the way to the semifinal round?
Time will telll.
Personally i wouldn't consider him. After that poor coaching performance last year in CBUS why should he be rumored to go anywhere. He's one & done!!!
