94zipgrad Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) I’m hoping there is a lot of smoke here. I’m not big on Arth & I can’t see us paying his buyout. If your going to do that pay more & get a name that motivates the community. I’m thinking Kehres probably makes the most financial sense, gets people excited & probably your best long term candidate. If your willing to spend more & reach financially a little I think Getsy would be a big hit & more of a rent a coach until a P5 comes calling Edited December 14, 2018 by 94zipgrad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I don't care about getting a coach that creates headlines with their hire. We had that with Bowden. A name loses its significance if it can't put a competitive team on the field. I don't know the ins and outs of all these coaches, but give me the guy whose best at recruiting and developing talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Cherry Bowl, LW should have canned Bowden. Embarrassed the University. LW can take what time is necessary to make right this situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His resume better create headlines or you already lost the 1st battle in energizing your base & keeping your players & recruits. Sorry, but that is how it works, not saying a guy who doesn’t do that can’t succeed but it adds a couple years to the process & getting his players Edited December 14, 2018 by 94zipgrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now get out and Recruit! The 3 guys he recently fired at UTC were his hires. One he brought from John Carroll. He's obviously not afraid to make the tough personnel decisions and in this case correct his own mistakes.

tpsjugglerdude Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 A little worried about his poor 9-13 record at an FCS team, so I took a deeper look. Last year they finished 3-8, while winning 2 of the last 3 (their lone loss was by 3 pts in double OT). This year Chattanooga ended the year playing South Carolina, 49-9 (Zips only managed 3). They started the year off 4-0, but only ended the year 6-5. They lost to the top 4 teams in the league to finish 5th. I wouldn't hold losses to LSU or USC against him. What does worry me, is that in the 3 years leading up to his arrival Chattanooga posted records of 10-4, 9-4, and 9-4. Did they have a mass exodus of players? Why did they drop down to 3-8? Maybe someone that follows FCS can shed some light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 While disappointed that I was passed over, I am hopeful for Arth. At this point, I am in "wait and see" mode. I am concerned with the following sentence in one of the articles above- "Akron was the last opening at the FBS level in the 2018-19 coaching cycle as of this writing." I am afraid the South Carolina game, which at this point meant nothing but a payday, put Akron a step behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
