RowdyZip Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 This team will finish 1-11. They will get blown out several times in the MAC. Unacceptable in year 3. Question is what are the repercussions, if any? Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 Outcoached. We were the better team, OU made adjustments, and we looked like crap the rest of the way. Injuries or not, this game should've been ours. The amount of times we put the ball on the ground in a game is alarming. That's basic fundamentals that starts with an emphasis from the coaches. 1 Quote
you am i Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 I think I've seen enough of Tom Arth. Unless there is an unexpected turnaround in the remaining games it's hard to see how he comes back. He has been given a fair shot. 6 Quote

LoyalZIP Posted October 2, 2021 Author Report Posted October 2, 2021 At this point, I know Guthrie has seen enough. As for the buyout in this climate? Boy that’s a tough situation for a brand new, new-to-football AD. Quote

dre22era Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 Lose to the best = Folks whine about the schedule Lose to the WORST = What yall gonna whine about now? Quote
ZippyforPresident Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Sadly, I'm not even disappointed. The game was actually a lot closer than I even expected it would be. I just don't really care about this anymore. It's just not worth it. Looking forward to basketball season. Edited October 2, 2021 by ZippyforPresident 1 Quote
NWAkron Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 Sure, there were some screw ups on the field that couldn't be helped, but the Zips last possession before half proved to me that this was amateur hour. At this point, we go to the football games out of obligation. It's time to end this bad relationship with Arth. That's what it is: a bad relationship. We keep giving him a second chance and taking him back but now I just can't stand to look at him. And President Miller obviously knew what he was doing in canning Larry Williams. 42 days until basketball season. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 I'm numb. Which actually doesn't feel as bad as being angry. So... I think I'm nearing death. 1 1 Quote

zippypitt Posted October 2, 2021 Report Posted October 2, 2021 That game was definitely the nail in the coffin for me. Barring a complete turnaround, they must buy out Arth and go in another direction. Zero results in year three and not much talent in the pipeline. Normally, one would be concerned with talent leaving the program with s departing coach. Not much there to worry about. 1 Quote

Boy that’s a tough situation for a brand new, new-to-football AD. Guthrie has two options in my opinion... 1) Stay the course with the program, but bite the bullet on the finances and fire Arth, in hopes of the next coach actually turning this program around to a respectable, profitable level. The issue here is: you can't miss again. 2) Become P5 prostitutes. Ditch the MAC, find one P5 school a week to pay you $1M to whoop your butt, tell recruits they'll get to showcase themselves weekly against P5 schools, and get right financially. Play them enough, and you might actually win one or two games here and there, especially with the possible increase in talent if higher-level recruits like the idea of playing against P5 schools. Heck, you could even sell the idea to YouTube or something to get a media deal out of it. Not sure how the contracts work with other conferences, but I'm sure some sort of media outlet would like to show weekly P5 football on their platform. Dropping the football program altogether isn't an option, dropping to FCS isn't an option, and we can't stay on this path of digging ourselves deeper into debt. Stay the course and get it right, or turn heads and make headlines by adapting to the ever-changing college athletics landscape. Regardless, staying in a state of not being able to make necessary changes for improvement is not a viable option. Edited October 2, 2021 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
