Dr Z Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think if I list my qualifications for the job, "we" would have to overpay the employee. Will that happen? I'm afraid the reason that the Akron Zips football program ends up with a HC with a less than stellar resume, is the job at hand is not attractive to a coach with a resume that most of us would like to see. If we find a coach with a resume that is appealing to the fan that is looking for a big hire, it is going to come with some bumps in it. Maybe we have to wait until all the "attractive" jobs are filled, and find the diamond in the rough that got passed over. I would love to hear what JT is suggesting. I would give it a about 2:1 odds that we end up with Winters. I'm not saying eventually that it wouldn't be a good thing though. It doesn't overly excite me, but I would be there to check it out. From FootballScoop: We hear J.D. Brookhart will get a good look at Colorado State. Instant Offense for GP1: Adam Schefter tweeted that Mike Martz is not expected to return to Chicago when his contract expires at the end of this season. He added "colleges could be in play". Honestly, we haven't heard of an administration seriously considering him. More on Mike. I would trust Mike's QB decision. Mike Haywood would fit a lot of ZN members qualifications!?!? Tulane has interviewed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Adams Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I got an e-mail reply from Wistrcill today. He is actually good about replying. He claims the 'search' is getting a good response. He also says they are looking at all levels. For what its worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane has interviewed him. Uh....I don't think we want him. He is almost a copy of Ianello. Strict disciplinarian...had practices at 6AM. Pissed off all the alumni and student fan base. Ran basically the same offence...just realized that he had no running backs and weak line...so he ran the pro from the shotgun (GP1 will dispute this...but those are the words from MH's mouth). I hope we do not consider this guy. I want someone like MH's replacement...someone who WANTS the job he has and loves this university. Next....
