Lee Adams Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I think most of us who are Akron fans are wondering about this one. He is in the last year of his contract. Can't see him coming back after another losing season in Portage County. What worrys me is that they might get lucky and find someone who knows what he is doing.

Z.I.P. Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I think most of us who are Akron fans are wondering about this one. He is in the last year of his contract. Can't see him coming back after another losing season in Portage County. What worrys me is that they might get lucky and find someone who knows what he is doing. I would be surprised...Can't State is on the verge of greatness. In fact, by their standards, these are the glory days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipsrifle Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 This is bad news. Not unexpected, just bad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zips fan Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I think they should go after Tyrone Willingham. He is a former Notre Dame, coach so he should be able to make an impact in the MAC or maybe TW can give them some recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I heard Notre Dame's Director of Game Tape is looking for a new position. He has no head coaching experience and has never been a player himself, but man, you should see how this guy edits tape! And he's from Notre Dame, so he'd surely be successful in the MAC.

GoZips88 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 A national search for his successor will begin immediately. We've got your man, Can't. He's even got verifiable "coaching experience" now. Make us an offer - no reasonable off ... no offer refused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 It will be quite interesting if Can't brings in someone to coach that was recommended on this board but not hired. I have to think they can't make a worse choice than we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 If Cant gets wise and hires Luke Fickle ... I hate to think of the carnage. Best plan I read above is iCoach applying for and getting the job. Let's sell him on the idea that he'd be stepping into a nearly winning program. Frankly, Doug Martin is one heck of a lot better coach than the i-man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Will Phil Steele continue to pick K.e.n.t. to win the MAC East after Martin is gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Adams Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Will Phil Steele continue to pick K.e.n.t. to win the MAC East after Martin is gone? Phil actually did not pick them to win. He did say they would be a contender. He picked Temple.I am looking at his mag. He also picked Temple as the best team in the MAC. He liked WMU in the west didn't he? Had Ball State 3rd. Unfortunately he had the Zips where they will finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZipRoo Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 A national search for his successor will begin immediately. We've got your man, Can't. He's even got verifiable "coaching experience" now. Make us an offer - no reasonable off ... no offer refused! Am I wrong in saying this guy looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book, rather than anything that should be roaming the sideline of a college football team? Who wants to bet that Proenza and anyone with half a brain in the UA Athletic Dept. are SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS waiting to see who Can't State hires? They surely know by now that they've made an error of epic proportion....and also know that their cross-town rival is EXPERT at getting the upper hand in both hires and results on the field/court. (Save the arguments, lets just look at the mens/womens bball teams, as well as football & various other sports.) The point is, Can't could hire Humpty-Dumpty and have a better head football coach than we got stuck with. Word? Word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Martin is gone from Can't, and now Ball State just fired Stan Parrish. We need to hop on board the coaching merry-go-round or we might get left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 does Can't State have a boards we can post on? I say we disguise ourselves as Can't fans on there and talk about wanting to steal iCan't from Akron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAZipster0305 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Everybody relax!! Maybe Martin faked his resignation to see how the team would respond. I heard Martin was only considering resignation and was consulting a friend via text but sent it to the wrong person. He ultimately resigned to save face from such an embarrassing mistake and a seemingly inevitable outcome. I wish iCoach would do us all a favor and fall on his own sword.

johnnyzip84 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Potential K.E.N.T. Candidates Among them are current K.E.N.T. DC Pete Rekstis, ZipRoo's man-crush Luke Fikell, and CHUCK FREAKIN MARTIN! I sure hope it's not the 3rd guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
