akzipper Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 It shouldn't even be a question of "if" this is going to happen but "when" it will happen. If TW honesty thinks it is a good idea to keep around a guy who will only win 1 game next year (if he's lucky) he would also deserve to be fired. I just don't see how anyone with a brain can think that having 100 people at our games next year will benefit the University, and how it is logical to keep a guy around who's causing this school to lose MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars!!

GoZips Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yeah, this is bad. This is the worst possible scenario for the University of Akron. If this happens, both Ianello and Wistrcill need to feel the wrath of the fans and forced to resign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I didn't want to be the first to say it. But since it has now reached the infallible world of Twitter, I'll add that while I'm hearing mixed responses from a number of private sources, the consensus seems to be that Ianello gets one more year to prove whether or not he can turn the program around. If the original Football Scoop rumor was wrong, the best explanation I've heard is that Football Scoop's source at UA heard Tuesday morning that Ianello's regular Tuesday press conference was cancelled, and interpreted that to mean that he was being fired without knowing that the real reason was the passing of Ianello's mother earlier Tuesday. Note that there have been no new media rumors citing any new sources, but only vague references to the original Football Scoop rumor. But none of my sources know anything with 100% certainty. It's still all speculation, even though some are a little closer to the situation than others. So continue to take everything you hear with a grain of salt and wait for Tuesday.

K92 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 If they retain Ianello for another year, they will be able to flood the Info, install fountain display pumps and rename it "Proenza's Folly", a lasting monument commemorating the waste of 60 million dollars.

jdurbin4 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 RIP Akron Football If Ianello is not fired, the fans should hold a rally in the area outside Buchtel Hall and show both the President and TW that we have all had enough and want Ianello Gone. If anyone is going to the basketball game like myself tonight, anyone that sees TW or George Van Horn should express our feelings about the Ianello. I think if enough fans show what will be lost by keeping him, the right decision will be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Zip Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 The longer we go without hearing he is gone the worse I feel about it. If he stays I only wish that everyone would vote with their wallet and not renew their tickets. Send back the reorder information with a note telling them why you are done.

UAZip0510 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't know Jeremy Guy, but I want to believe him! He's the Director of Communications for the MAC...good source IMO. Andy Baskin and Zach Jackson both just reported the same thing...not sure if they are basing it off of Guy's Tweet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't know Jeremy Guy, but I want to believe him! I do. If he says it, it is the official word of the MAC. If you're not following him on Twitter, I suggest you do. He's great. That means that it's official. Ianello is gone. Ding dong and all that.

you am i Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 It would be very easy for TW to just issue a statement to the press that RI will be back. That's usually what the AD would be expected to do in a situation like this if the coach was coming back. He hasn't. One reason I can think of NOT to pull the trigger is to show whoever is the next coach that he will get a minimum of three years to turn things around. I do not recall any college coach getting canned after two years because of a bad record. That being said, I do not believe that any coach has ever had as disastrous a first two years as we have been subjected to. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
