Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Field Level Media: Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead is expected to be named head coach at Akron, Yahoo Sports reported. Is this accurate, or a misinterpretation of Yahoo's report, naming Moorhead as the top candidate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 No idea what the rules are with contracts and the regular season coming to a close, but IF these rumors are true, I couldn't be happier to welcome Coach Moorhead back, or even the guy from O$U. Both would give immediate credibility to a program where even most of us fans were wondering what kind of candidates would be drawn to this job. I am through the roof with optimism. Don't ruin this for me, UA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they are first to break, but I am leaning towards misinterpretation. But good post regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Two more sites citing Yahoo that Akron will be hiring Moorhead. Seem to be very similar - if not identical - articles to the Field Level Media one posted above. https://sportsnaut.com/akron-to-name-oregon-offensive-coordinator-joe-moorhead-as-head-coach/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter https://post.playactionpools.com/report-akron-to-name-oregon-oc-joe-moorhead-as-head-coach/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips86 Posted November 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 If this become reality, I will be so stoked to renew my season tickets as this would be SO exciting for the future of the program in my opinion! Get it done Guthrie!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ruin this for me, UA. Thinking that it came down to both Moorhead and Wilson. Guessing Wilson is plan b if they can’t get the deal done today with Moorhead. Tonight it should be done with the contract. Guessing they were ready to make an offer after the Toledo game since it leaked out Sunday. Agree with ya, either one would be acceptable and have Div 1 experience at power 5. This would be a great way to start the new 2022 campaign before the end of November. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll only believe it once it's released on GoZips.com or by a blue-check mark CFB reporter (Feldman, Thamel, Rittenberg, etc.) Oklahoma student reporters gathered video evidence that Spencer Rattler lost the starting job following their game against Texas. The blue checkmark is fulfilling, but not the end-all-be-all in today's crooked "journalism". For all we know, these lower-level sites could have studied Yahoo's previous coaching vacancy reports from years past, and seen a pattern in verbiage that foreshadows said-candidate getting the job. For as much buzz as there is for Moorhead to Akron, there's equal silence for Moorhead to any other vacancy. Possibly telling.

Captain Kangaroo Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Too bad. If Moorhead is hired, Zach would have had a lot of fun running that offense. If Irons chooses to bail too, I'm confident Joe would pluck a solid transfer to QB the Zips in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about this. But if we can hire Moorhead, I don't see QB being an issue upon training camp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Moorehead might be able to recruit Gibson back if they get him on board right away. Bowden recruited a lot of kids from the portal back to ULM when he came on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure is for me. Given soccer, football and the first 2 games of the Tampa tourney, I'm enjoying the hopium! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
