What we know

Miles is an ISU alum however.

And Paul Winters is an Akron alum. :(

I thought about that when I realised how many FCS coaches are also either alums, or native to the area. Ambrose (Towson alum), Miles (ISU alum), Watson Brown (Tenn Tech alum)........

I readily admit that it would have been premature to hire Paul 2 years ago. But who would know that his parents would both pass away during this time? I really think that was a huge factor for him. His dream of leading the Zips with them watching was never going to happen.

@ Keener - His wiki doesn't seem to point to them being related. Sheesh the guy even grew up in Terre Haute. They could never really get Larry Bird to leave, so it could be an uphill battle with Trent.

Damn. I was hoping he had the "turn your back on your alma mater" gene. :lol:

I wonder 2 things.

1) Does TW read these boards

2) How much of a laugh does he get from them.

How close do you guys think we are to actually knowing whats going on and how much of it is crap being pulled out of thin air?

Footballscoop is still reporting today that Scot Loeffler will be named our head coach.

A little risky. But with this hire I'd, once again, be pretty optimistic about the future of the program.

More re: Loeffler to Akron...per sources, he did not accept on the spot. Looking at NFL position coach options. Told he'll decide soon.

Unbelievable TW......

You poisoned this coaching job so badly that people would literally rather do anything else but be our coach.

More re: Loeffler to Akron...per sources, he is also considering taking a job with Philadelphia waste management. He believes he would have to deal with less $#!% there than at Akron.

Would there be any NFL position he is likely to be offered in the next several days? Wouldn't an NFL coordinator or position job either be offered by a brand new coach building a staff, or at the end of the season when teams make changes to existing staffs?

Neither of those two scenarios would seem likely to unfold very soon. I hope Loeffler is just using that excuse to buy a bit of time to consider the UA offer and then respond within a day or two. I wonder what the response term of the offer is?

Unless there's organizations like the Kansas City Chiefs who know that they're going to promote Romeo Crennel to head coach, and Crennel is starting to put his staff together...
