Captain Kangaroo Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 The Cleveland PD is starting the Brookhart is leaving talk. JD to Lead the Buffs? What an absolute DICK to write crap like that at this time. I love his facts..."JD is from Colorado and the Colorado job just opened up...That means JD is a candidate for the Colorado job." Yeah, Lee Owens 7-5 was exactly like this year's 7-5. I guess it doesn't matter that two of Lee Owens' wins were against Cal Poly and Howard, while JD's were Division 1 wins that iced championships. Yeah, that one loss vs Can't was what got Owens fired. Boy if he'd have just won that game he'd have gotten a 10-year contract extension. What an absolute dick.

Thanks! JD will not get the job at Colorado. Someone with experience at a really big time program will get the job. JD's next step will be to a conference like the Big East where the competition is slightly better than the MAC and the pay is MUCH better than the MAC.

Buckzip Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I know he is full of crap. But, what if????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzipguy Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think JD wants to really establish something with Akron football. Another 1 or 2 MAC championships and bowl games will go a long way to making his resume look good. I believe he will remain for a few more years at least.

Quickzips Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I know CK mentioned it but that really is nothing more than speculation based on geography. If Colorado comes out w/ JD on a short list or something like that then I will worry, but that right there doesn't worry me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheZone Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 If for whatever reason JD does leave, Jim Flemming should quickly be promoted to head coach. The thing that man has done with the defense is nothing short of a miracle. #23 defense in the nation after what we've endured the past decade? I think he'd be fine head coach. Let's hope JD is here to stay for a while though, and I think he is. I think he's the kind of guy that might even turn down a better job for the kids he's already with.

Ryno aka Menace Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think we have nothing to worry about, JD's resume is still to short. And believe me as long as he has a personal relationship with Mike Shanahan opportunities will always be avalible when he is ready. We have nothing to worry about, the only thing that would concern me would be if he persued them and not the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 The Cleveland PD is starting the Brookhart is leaving talk. If I was anybody from the university I would refuse to talk to Elton if asked. What an A$$ We don't need the BJ or the PD for coverage, we have ESPN and they reach a million times more sports fans. FU Elton !!!! Here is a real story who might get the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipsrifle Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Ok guys, what is happening here is that we're a victim (maybe) of our own success. Akron has been in the Cleveland sports news more in the last 3 month than they have in the past 3 years! LeBron leads the Cavs. Charlie is the crowd favorite and leads the Browns. The Soccer Team was ranked 1st in the Nation for a Month, the Football team is MAC Champs and going to a bowl AND the basketball team is a MAC contender! People are starting to pay attention and what better time to throw a wrench into the thing, get some water cooler talk going and sell some papers. The PD is just trying to cash in on the Zips success. We've all seen the new fourms and additional coverage by the ABJ lately. I think we're all pretty confident that JD isn't going anywhere, so IMO, we should see this as a good thing. More talk about the Zips in Cleveland will bring in more fans to see the Zips. We've been whining about more coverage, well, now we're getting it, and it's not all positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipboy Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 JD denied the rumors emphatically on Friday. We all know anything can happen. Logic says that JD needs another 2 good years before he leaves. Look at how long Pinkel, Walker, and Hoeppner stayed before getting plum jobs. You can stay in the MAC for 8-9 years and win big and jump right into the Big 10 or Big 12. I do think (hope) that he would not leave for any job. He knows that he is going to start kicking some serious a$$ over the next few years and it may be nice to win for a few years before starting over. I also believe that JD is genuine when he says he really wants to build something here. He cares for the community and knows what he can do. That said he has never stated that he plans to be here for 10 years, 20 years, or even 2 more years. When the right job opens up, I am sure that he will look at it. My hope is that we can get his base to Frank Solich type near the $250K range. I think his base is $165 now. Then when a mid level Big East or WAC school with inferior facilities comes with $350-$400 offer, he turns it down and waits for truly good situation. And believe me, I don't claim to have any inside knowledge, I met JD several times at functions but that is about it. Just seeing how he carries himself and some wishful thinking on my part that he stays a little longer than expected. On a final note, not sure why Elton put that in there. The MAC title game article was great. I bought the Beacon 2 times in the last year, the Thanksgiving day game and the day after the MAC title game. It will be at least another year. On Thanksgiving the whole article was about Can't's underachieving for the year and what can they do. 5 games had just went our way and we were playing for the MAC title and their article is on how bad Can't is. That shows that they have no clue on the pulse of the city or they really do want to be negative. The day after the biggest win in Zip history there were NO quotes from anyone in the Beacon about the game. How is that Elton had quotes from everybody and I thought wrote a story that really told captured the spirit of the game? So I am done at least for another year with the Beacon. Side note, I saw Bob Dwyer, a columnist for the BJ on TV a couple of weeks ago. He said they have a 19% profit margin just static to shrinking growth and one big new revenue generator is online ads. They get a lot of traffic to their site. I doubt that we have enough firepower to hurt them, but I honestly have gone to their site only 3 or 4 times in the last 3 months. I get all of my info from here, gozips.com, and the PD. I wish I could say that I am intentionally boycotting their site, but I don't even think about going there anymore for information. Elton is a talented writer. If the column was to spread gossip and get a charge out of people that is one thing, if it was to sabotage recruiting that would be another.

zipboy Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 One more thing, who the new AD is probably has a bearing as well if JD is here for 2 more years or 5 more years. I trust Proenza to get the right guy, and I hope that UAM gets a look. Anyone else that we get will currently be in a similar role as UAM is but at a bigger school. We need any AD with good marketing skills who can connect with the fans and business community. UAM has shown that is his strong suit. It is amazing, Mike has only been here for maybe 6 years but I feel that he is one of us. He wants Akron to win as much as we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
