I miss some of it. Can you summarize in 15 words or less?

How did Urban Meyer do it? Very simple, he brought in a future NFL player at QB named Josh Harris. He was only there for two years and got out while the gettin was good. Any player with JHs talent in the NIL era would be at a P4 school. Pretend you are the coach. How do you discipline them? Most are at Akron because they can't be disciplined or they simply aren't very good. Bench them?....Holy cow, most are already third stringers who found the last place that would take them so the person behind them is even worse. Yell at them?....It goes in one ear and out the other with most guys because they know they can't be benched because of the crap behind them. Kick them off the team?.....If you kicked every moron off of this team, the waterboys would be playing. Make them do more exercise as punishment?.....Most of them can run until their legs fall off. Shame them?.....I don't think guys who transfer as much as guys do today experience much shame. Seriously, someone tell me how to discipline these idiots.

How would you discipline these idiots in a way that would eliminate mistakes?

He did create the roster out of what's leftover when better financed programs get their guys. I'm not sure many Zips fans realize how behind the eight ball the program is.

There is little difference between college soccer and college golf.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't hire him.

Show me a coach with a roster of bums and I'll show you a loser.

I listened to the interview. He's a dunce. We are screwed.

You're too dismissive of the portal. How do you expect someone to build a culture with the scraps we get after the annual player exodus? You can't fix stupid. Our financial position leaves us with the dummies of the world. Did Indiana fix their culture or did Mark Cuban just buy a bunch of star players? Indiana's coach wouldn't be winning with the crap they used to put on the field.

The guys on Full Ride are talking about this. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/acc/2026/10/27/dave-doeren-nc-state-football-nil-resources-comments-press-conference/92467483007/ My question is this. If you have high level expectations for the Zips, is the University financing your expectations? The Zips are exactly what they are paying for. If this doesn't change, firing Joe is an exercise in firing to hire only to fire again. This is a losing equation. The next guy will just be another victim. Coaching football is extremely difficult. The head coach can't be the fundraiser. The AD needs to do this work. He seems to be doing well, but the Zips need a lot more.

Or between every play. At the last Wake Forest vs Stanford game I went to, the referee had to stop the game and tell the score board operator to stop playing music after the play clock started. I think college athletics are run and populated by total morons. Oh well, at least I'm not made nauseated by how loud the music is. They seem to have gotten that under control.

I meant literally.

It sure is. The Rockets are a serious football program and the Blade reports on it in a serious manner. That's what NE Ohio needs. People want the ABJ to be a cheerleader for Zips football. It shouldn't be. If the Zips were a serious program, the ABJ could do serious pieces on them. That means the good and the bad.

They should be at home this week.

Timing is everything. A 3-6 team making the playoffs is punishment for a bad season.
