Will you ever let anyone on this forum consider a source for your information? That is one of my sources. Nobody asked me for it, so I didn't post it. It's no secret that Green local is in dire straights and there is animosity towards paying a football coach, or that one of our recruits was a star player under him. If you want a source for anything I say, all you have to do is ask. The reason I post rumors (and I always try to mark them as such) is because I like discussion, and this is a discussion board. So why not discuss the pros and cons of such a move, or alternative moves? Maybe somebody hits on a great idea that the athletic department can then steal. Or, we can just sit here and endlessly complain about LeBron and OSU and wait for an official announcement that won't come until six months after the fact.

The reason I post rumors is because I like discussionI thought you learned your lesson when you posted that PN7 broke his ankle? For the umpteenth time, if you post a rumor, just post "I read a rumor on (provide link) that this coach is coming to Akron." Now the reader realizes that it is a rumor and where it comes from.

Dave in Green Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hilltopper is closer to Green HS than I am, so I'll wait to see what he has to say about this rumor. Sounds like a bunch of local HS coach names are being thrown out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Maybe DiG can do some DiGging and see about this. Green city schools are in turmoil and they might be forced to drop athletics or go pay-to-play. Their coach is Tom Stacy and he might be forced out to save on the budget. That's who I'm hearing that we're currently pursuing. One of our 2011 recruits, Dylan Brumbaugh, hails from Green. Stacy knows the university, being our QB coach for 8 years. He knows the area, and he knows the local prospects. Green Schools are not "in turmoil", but we are trying to pass a new levy. If the levy doesn't pass there will be some cuts of teaching positions. Tom Stacy is a Phys-ed teacher at the high school. Phys-ed is a required course, you have to take it in order to graduate. Most likely, the teaching positions that are eliminated will be for elective courses not required for graduation. He could possibly be bumped by someone with more tenure, but the other 2 phys-ed teachers currently have less tenure than Stacy. I guess its possible that Stacy mat want to get back into coaching at the collegiate level, but I haven't heard anything that would make me think that was true. Stacy has worked hard to improve Green's football program and the results of those labors are just starting to pay off. I would be surprised if he left, but anything is possible. I'll check around and see if there is any truth to this rumor and report back. ps; I find it humorous that every time I use spell check on a quoted post involving Zac, it wants me to change Zach's name to Schlep!

ZipRoo Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Luke Fickell to Miami, OH. K.e.n.t. snoozed and will surely lose that battle. Nicer town, cradle of coaches; nice stepping-stone, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipmeister Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Footballscoop is saying that Mike Haywood is trying to get our Offensive Coordinator and TE coach John Latina to follow him to Pitt. If this happens and I was a Pitt tight end hoping to catch a pass, I would be looking into transfer possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Pitt fans are treating the news regarding Latina as being 100% true. It appears that Haywood is trying to re-unite as much of Charlie Weiss' staff at ND as possible. That means half our coaching staff could be getting phone calls from him.

you am i Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Luke Fickell to Miami, OH. K.e.n.t. snoozed and will surely lose that battle. Nicer town, cradle of coaches; nice stepping-stone, obviously. That would be a good situation for both Miami and Fickell, but I can't find that this is being reported anywhere.

GP1 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 If a guy is a good coach, it doesn't matter if he was a head coach or not prior to getting a MAC job. A good coach is a good coach regardless. The funny thing about this hiring is it can prove the people who think you should hire a coach with lower level head coaching experience both wrong and right. The guy was successful at Miamioh contrary to this opinion. If he goes on to Pitt and wins, it will prove the opinion to be correct because he had experience coaching at a lower level school. It's funny how things can turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 No official word yet on our OC John Latina moving to Pitt. If he really is gone, it's in our best interest to announce it and begin finding a replacement immediately. The less confusion our recruits have about who will be coaching them, the better. At any rate, here is the story of JD Brookhart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipRoo Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 K.E.N.T. State announces its new coach on Monday. They've screwed it up again, naturally. But it'll be better than what Akron's saddled with. Miami, OH will still reap the rewards, in all likelihood. There seems to be more brainpower on that campus.

Your program needs to move away from your Asst HC. I know him very well. He is not the person he comes across as. I have no axe to grind, but thetruth will set me free. The one from Georgetown?

johnnyzip84 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Michigan fans seem to think our DC is leaving to become their new secondary coach. If true, I have two comments: 1) Thank you, Curt, for sticking it out through the recruiting season. I mean that. 2) We already have another coach on this side of the ball who has been a successful coordinator. Maybe the best move would be to promote from within. Edit: This link serves two purposes. First, UM already has a DC under Hoke in Greg Mattison. Second, we lost out on Glenville TE Frank Clark to the Wolverines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Mallory to UM is all but official. Can't really blame him for leaving. He's a Wolverine at heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
