GP1 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Doesn't seem unusual to me that there'd be a team meeting today. Me neither. This is as soon as they could have it given the holiday and all. Remember guys, there isn't a single respected (ABJ, PD, Dispatch, etc.) media outlet in the state reporting Tressel is even interested in coaching Akron. The reports I believe are about him assisting in the search.
scottditzen Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Excellent article. Thanks for posting mes!! Also, decent article by Ken Carman at 92.3 The Fan
BirdZip Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 For those of you who are so sure Tressel will not be hired, would you be willing to commit to wearing K-ent State clothing for a week as punishment if you are wrong (since you obviously won't be wrong)? I'm not saying I believe it, but many are dismissing it out of hand. How sure are you? If Tressel signed on with Akron, you'd get more media coverage in a week than all of the previous two years combined.
ZachTheZip Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Here's some fun speculation: Tom Wistrcill was at the soccer game yesterday, and he was wearing a blue sweatervest.

But they're holding off on publishing out of concern that breaking the story prematurely would disrupt the process and cause the whole thing to be called off. You don't have to believe me. We'll all know for certain soon enough.

For the record, I think those with "inside sources" should quit posting for a while if he isn't hired. If he is, then they can keep bringing the info, and I'll be grateful.

akronzips71 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 The earlier the announcement, the more likely it is to be Tressel. Still not guaranteed, but more signs are pointing in that direction. I'm getting ready to head out for the WVU basketball bus trip. But I'm sure we'll all be checking our cell phones on the bus for any updates on ZN.o. If there was an announcement today, it would certainly be Tressel: He is available We have known for weeks (months) that we need a coach. The season is not over for many programs, so anyone who has a job could not commit this soon. But I don't believe it. Akron U is simply not slick enough to have a big time coach waiting in the wings.
Blue & Gold Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 The football players have a team meeting scheduled later today. During that time, they will be informed who their next head coach will be. Wow, Zach. This is a definitive statement. Are you sure? Or do you really mean to say, "The football players have a team meeting scheduled later today. During that time, they may be informed who their next head coach will be"? I'm assuming you heard this from a player?
Blue & Gold Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 We have known for weeks (months) that we need a coach. Years.

I also think some players might have some input put.
Zipmeister Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 $40 million to Urban to come to OSU for 6 years. Seems like we ought to be able to talk JT into coming to Akron for 40 years for $6 million.

bobbyake Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Posted November 28, 2011 Notice something similar to Tressel? btw, the anticipation is killing me, staying patient though
LZIp Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 anybody have an idea of how much money Akron has to work with?
zen Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Notice something similar to Tressel? btw, the anticipation is killing me, staying patient though Couldn't find him. I got Chris Farley, Seth Rogen, and the Gungan King though.
RootforRoo44 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 anybody have an idea of how much money Akron has to work with? as much as they need...i have info that the bigwigs of business in the area are involved in this search.
UAZip0510 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Notice something similar to Tressel? btw, the anticipation is killing me, staying patient though This is off topic, but the kid in the speedo is an embarrassment. Please, someone, tell him to stop.
Z.I.P. Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 anybody have an idea of how much money Akron has to work with? as much as they need...i have info that the bigwigs of business in the area are involved in this search. Search? Is that what you call it? How much of a tuition increase will it require, is what people should be asking!
zipseuph Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 This is off topic, but the kid in the speedo is an embarrassment. Please, someone, tell him to stop. +1 I'm just gonna sit back and wait for this all to sort it's self out. We can speculate, debate, and throw out "Sources" all we want but fact of the matter is no one is gonna know for sure until it happens.

I see him at every football/soccer/basketball game I attend. Obviously a loyal dude. (I'm sure you are too - he just really stands out in a crowd!)

(I'm sure you are too - he just really stands out in a crowd!) I think you're talking about Ian Tayek. I think he was the president of the Rowdies last year.
