Learning more about his offense, I wonder if DJ is naturally a better fit (not that Zach wasn't a capable runner himself). Well in one short video they showed him at MSU training camp and he kept repeating "ball security." Arth must have forgotten that with DJ. Stark, MS, seemed like a hellscape. The AD announced that JM didn't fit their culture. Next guy they hired isn't doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Moorhead is the guy, this could potentially be the last gamble on FBS for Akron. If he doesn't manage to turn things around, I honestly can't see The U digging deeper in the pockets for another buyout/new coach in a few years. 💯 this is it. ALL IN! I would guess part of Coach M's negotiation is getting the $$ to get the coaches he wants. He is smart enough to know he can't turn this around by himself. I don't think Charlie Frye is a stretch as OC and I think it would be a good move for him. If Coach M is our guy, I would expect him to hit the transfer portal hard for to top flight players. I am sure his goal and UA's goal will be a very quick turnaround. If you are a QB with NFL aspirations, Coach M would be a great guy to play for (Do you hear me Zach Gibson?) Oh, and please change back to the Z helmets!! Edited December 1, 2021 by a-zip 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrzips2012 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 “Professionally, you have a chance to go somewhere where you can either sustain success or rebuild.” Moorhead said. “And like I said, the monetary part, everybody likes money. But I’ve gotten to a point where-- I grew up, my dad was a steelworker, had three jobs, and we were the lowest end of middle class you can be. I still don’t even know my ATM code, so I have to ask my wife for money. So the money part of it, yeah we have some of it, but I don’t have any in my wallet and have to ask her for an allowance. That part’s a little further down the trough right now.” Looks like Moorhead doesn’t money will be a huge deal. Probably fine with taking less money 750 to 900k. Hope we can get a good staff with him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard confidence, discipline, leadership, lots of wins in the MAC, return to the MAC Championship game (including being crowned champion), bowl invites and wins, P5 upsets and a return to enjoyable Fall Saturdays and Tuesdays. Feels very strange to be in the running for a guy like this. I know - no guarantees but jeez ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 This is truly amazing. I can't wait to see the official Tweet with the graphic that reads: JOE MOORHEAD--HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON The future is now. Akron football has a good an opportunity as it has ever had to return the magic. I believe in Joe! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuilding the Akron Zips may be less stressful than calling the offensive plays for a Power 5 school with a rabid fan base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
