ditchrider1 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Could we please see Nicely?If they are going to make him run the same BullShip plays it doesn't matter if Joe Friggen' Montana is back there. This is getting embarrassing and I feel for the talented players we have out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valpo Zip Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Why do we (fans in NE ohio) always feel that the guy on the bench is better than the one on the field?We wanted Rogers when Jacq was playing and now we want Nicely.We were complaining about Shufford and we want Devoe or Martin. Eventhough we never seen anything impressive from both those guys yet.Same story with the Browns, Dilfer-->Frye-->Anderson-->Quinn-->Anderson.When a team commits 2 penalties in a row before the ball is even snapped, and then follows a good deffensive play with a late hit penalty for a first down, the problem is bigger than one player being subbed. Call me a quitter, Peyton Manning won't be able to save this team.At this time, if i can get one wish granted, my wish would be: Can we play Basketball in October, please?

(insert crying emoticon)I am not crying for the back-up I just want "big-boy" plays. This crap they are repeatedly trying is ridiculous. The shotgun hand-off should be banned from Akron playbooks.

GP1 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Why do we (fans in NE ohio) always feel that the guy on the bench is better than the one on the field?Insert GP1 foolproof Browns/Zips fan logic and you will have the answer.There is a reason Jacq was the starter....he was the best player. There is a reason Rodgers is number two...he is better than number three.If you lose your starting QB in the MAC for any reason, you're finished. The Zips are finished.

They are not being utilized properly to maximize their talents and there is absolutely no one to blame but the coaches.If I were a player my patience with this nonsense would be coming to an end.

Big Zip Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 GP1 do you think it has nothing to do with a fascination that JD has about not burning Nicely's redshirt? You get the award for being the most condescending person on this board! There isn't a person here who would miss you if you would just leave and go away. I don't even think you're a Zips fan.

It gives us 2 weeks to sort out the coaching position and it still gives us time to save the recruiting class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the existing commitments we already have?or 2. Have time to recruit other players to fill available scholarships?Just wondering.Go Zips!!

zipsbandman Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Will canning Brookhart now really make a difference? It's pretty clear this ship is sunk and I really don't think the players are into it at all any more. We just need this season to end and fast. Buring Nicely's redshirt would be a disaster and desperation. The season is pretty much lost. There are too many problems to address and no sense throwing an unproven Qb to the wolves.

Can you immagine the performance when he knows he's toast?Canning JD will do the following:1-make some fans say: "Let's go to the game to see if the new coach is making any difference"2-send a message to other Akron fans/boosters and other coaches at Akron that Wistrcil does not tolerate SUCKING3-motivate the players because they will have to impress the new coaches if they want to play next year.

Dave in Green Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 ..... This board loves my opinions....they may not like them, but everyone responds to them one way or another. The board would be borring without the Great GP1. .....Here's a fact, not an opinion. Many of the problems with internet forums are not from trolls, but from people who are unable to resist being provoked into responding to trolls. It's a well-known fact that the best way to get rid of trolls is to ignore them.Now I'm not saying you're a troll, because I think a lot of what you post is fair and honest opinion that's worth consideration and discussion. But it's sprinkled with a pattern of troll-like language that, intentionally or not, continually provokes people into responding in kind. Some people just can't resist responding to provocation even when the point of the provocation is to push their buttons and draw them into a round of mud rasslin.You label yourself the "Great GP1," while it appears some consider you the "Grate GP1," as in grating on other people's nerves. You seem to enjoy the theatre, and maybe some of the others do, too. It all sounds something like your description in another thread of how people in the construction business converse.I suppose that as long as there's more than one person willing to play, and the moderators think it's all within the rules of ZN, this sideshow will have a long run.

ZippyTuba11 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 When me and my buddy sitting at the bar can predict what Akron's offense is going to run each play with a fairly high degree of accuracy, they don't have chance.I've always been a supporter of JD, believing that he's right on the cusp of making a break through. I now firmly believe that will never happen. Fire JD, immediately.For those of you that think this won't make a difference, I have to believe that changing out the guy that keeps making the same play calls that never work will have to be a significant improvement. Will it salvage the season? Probably not. But one thing is for certain, I am not going to continue to pay to watch bad football anymore.

zips4ever2008 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 It is frustrating to watch this team go down, but what good is firing the coach now going to do. If they fire JD, then one of the coordinators is likely going to be the interim head coach until the end of the season when the search goes out to find a new coach. If that is what happens, so be it. Will things stay the same or be different, we don't know. Firing the coach now in week 4 of the season and trying to locate a new coach is going to be difficult with every team playing and those coaches and coordinators concentrating on their team. I guess it can be done, but I think waiting till after the season when a new coach can be greatly searched out would be the best option. You'd want to be sure to find the right guy. If this is what happens, lets hope the search process doesn't take too long as recruiting can be affected.If they do fire JD, I would like the new coach to come from a conference like the SEC, Big 12 or PAC10. Even someone from the WAC from a Boise State would be good too. Lets bring someone in who can make Akron football exciting. We sure have the facilities that are top notch, so lets find a coach who can get this team on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipseuph Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I was at the barley with zippy tuba and first let me say that place can suck the big one.half way through the first quarter they changed the audio over to the OSwho game and when I talked to the manager about it he basicly said "FU" right before he put on his OSwho shirt (literaly) second of all when some bado's like zippy tuba and myself can tell you what th next play is gonna be you are probably doing something wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
