I'll give DJ a little slack ... "Young man, please throw the f*cking ball away next time."

I would too but my gawd he had more than enough time to get rid of the ball 

Thats common sense

And just like that...life back to normal at Infocision.   God this is a long half.  Just need some rain and paper bags.

Well that's it for me.  Was fun while it lasted.   A real shame.  This team and stadium in jinxed.  

Kato on crutches.   All of you who wanted DJ, your time is now

Wow, is this bad..

 

So, we get a three minute review on this catch and no review on the Kato fumble/injury.  How could Arth not request a review on such a huge play?

[clarkwgriswold]

If they score here...we can get our hopes up for further disappointment.

Agree.  I thought that was close. 

[kreed5120]

This defense is pretty horrendous.

[you am i]

All I expect from a coaching staff is discernible progress from year-to-year. This does not look like progress.

[clarkwgriswold]

Uncle.

It's a matched set with the offense.

[zipsoutsider]

Arth couldn't even bother to get out if his pajamas for this game.

[dre22era]

And we continue to be loved for the wrong reasons

 

The OVER hits! Temple @ Akron hit 51.5 at Q4 15:00 2nd And 10!

After Today This Program is Dead 

Its over for Arth 

He has no business EVER being on our Sideline but Backdoor Privilege got him the job 

Worst Decision in this Program's History that may put us in a financial and cultural debt we may never recover from on a FBS I-A level. 

A Shitty Football Program who can't draw fans to a stadium they have yet to pay off.

I'm keeping in mind that it was 17-7 went it all went haywire.  Frankly, had Kato stayed in there was no guarantee of a win.  Would say the odds were against it.  

[zipsoutsider]

This is about as bad as it gets, but what can be done? Certainly cannot afford to fire him and pay off his contract, which goes until 2023. This is going to be an impossible situation.

[RowdyZip]

The staff is in over their heads every bit as much as Ianello's crew. I'll always support UA, but today was the last time I'll be spending any money on football until somebody fixes this mess. Absolutely abysmal.

Probably can't afford to...but we're getting close to "can't afford not to" territory here.

If you're going to do it, don't wait until the end of the season. Fire him and get an interim coach in there to try to keep the kids engaged.

Agreed.  Two games is probably too early, but it could get out of hand quickly.

[clarkwgriswold]

The faculty union was strongly in favor of football going to D2 or D3.  They appear to have gotten there wish without all of the formalities.

 

Arth is ours for the foreseeable future unless he walks away and waives the balance of his contract.  That's not happening.

 

I'll save the rant for tomorrow when I am calmer.

[Let'sGoZips94]

Coach JB from Last Chance U was on the Pat McAfee Show yesterday, and mentioned Akron by name as a program he could turn around. I'm not saying I want JB with his questionable past, but this program desperately needs someone like him from a competitive, out-of-the-box thinking sense. 

 

We make this whole football thing look a lot harder than it really is. 

 

Is it possible, in the age of weird contracts to fit any situation, to include a clause where, if a certain record isn't met, the remainder of the contract is voided upon firing?

Yeah except they still have to play a D1 schedule while being D2...

I'm not in favor of allowing the faculty union making athletic decisions

I'm willing (generous of me right?) to give Irons a mulligan on that interception.  I'm sure it won't happen again.  And, well, there's no question now who will be QB.  Ohio U lost to a Duquesne who I didn't know had a football team.
