Captain Kangaroo Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Zippyroo said: Sarcasm doesn't prove your point....quite the opposite. It isn’t sarcasm. It’s truth. Keep hoping the Zips straw turns to gold. I hope you’re right. But I see nothing that portends anything but a team that is too small, too slow and too unathletic to win more than 1 or 2 games in year FOUR of Arth’s tenure. Winning 1 in year #3 is etched in stone. This gives him a total of 3-4 wins over 4 years. Is that what he sold Larry Williams on when he was hired? Bowden took over worse. Owens took over worse. And both those guys year # 4 blows away where we’ll be at the end of 2022. Arth has grossly underestimated the talent level needed to compete in the MAC. And if we have only 2 wins to show for his efforts after 3 seasons, it is unprecedented that people would say he merits a 4th year. We’re 12th in the MAC, and it is unbelievable how much we’d need to improve just to move to the 11th slot. Paying off an underperforming coach’s last 2 years is a cost of doing business in big boy football. If we finish 2021 with 1 FCS win, it is time to move on. Cuz we ain’t winning more than 1 game in 2022 if he stays. Show me anything other than hope that portends anything different. 3 1 Quote

LoyalZIP Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 We're so excited we can hardly think of anything to say Quote
LoyalZIP Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 Watts is so bad. Feeney is worse. 7-0 before all the fans even get to their seats. Quote
GoZips88 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) PBJ was delicious. Looks like I may be heading back outside to finish up yard work. What say you Akron offense? Did YOUR side of the ball come to play? Nope ... Edited October 9, 2021 by GoZips88 Quote

I come at this from a different angle. He and his staff aren't taken seriously enough by high school coaches so they aren't able to get enough good players. He has to know the talent isn't good enough. He's incapable of doing anything about it. On field coaching is the most overrated thing in college sports. It's all about getting good players. He isn't getting them. If the next question isn't asked during the next interview process, everyone should be fired. Can you tell me about successes you have had improving your team's talent through recruiting? I bet John Hunter at Wake Forest could easily answer this question. He was a stud recruiter for Clawson at BGSU and has continued in that role at Wake. He is from Detroit. He is the RBs coach and has recruited such a stable of players that their best RB from last year transferred to Michigan State and he has three guys behind him just as good. They have not missed a beat. For years I have been tired of hearing about process and have been looking for results. We need someone who has produced results everywhere he has been throughout his programs. Maybe a guy like Hunter isn't achievable, but there a guys like him out there. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 Screen on 3rd and a mile. Glad we came to win today. Kato sucks. Biggest bust in the history of Akron football recruiting. Quote
RowdyZip Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 Took a break from yard work to watch some of this game. I'll go ahead and go back outside. This team is every bit as bad as Rob Ianello squads. Pretty remarkable to miss so bad on 2 coaches. Quote

akrzips2012 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 Looking forward to firing Arth in Nov. The fact we can’t compete with BG shows Arth isn’t D1 coach. Pay him his 700k and start the coaching search asap!! Quote
ewbrooman1 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 A time out before a FG attempt? Quote
94zipgrad Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 I’m not sure why I do this to myself 1 Quote
RowdyZip Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 Wasted timeout on a field goal because of incorrect personnel on the field. Poor coaching, no talent. I'm everything bit as pessimistic about this program as I was during the Rob "Rocknes Menu Pants" Ianello years. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 A timeout on defense in a 4th and 7 situation where the opponent lined up to kick a FG. Oy. Quote

So unprepared. So amateurish. So pathetic. Quote

RowdyZip Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 So once we get blown out by 50 by the team that was supposed to be the worst in the league, you have to fire the coach. Right? Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Sports betting in Ohio would make a killing on Akron if it were legal. Give me the Parlay... (Insert opponent) Over 100 Rushing Yards ANYTIME Akron Fumble Akron Under 50 Yards Rushing (Insert opponent) Moneyline This would hit weekly. Edited October 9, 2021 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
LoyalZIP Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Wow, that's unbelievable. Just goes to show you how bad BG is. Edit: Shotgun formation standing in the end zone. Can't make this up. Edited October 9, 2021 by LoyalZIP Quote
