He would be a home run, but I don’t see him having much interest. I think Campbell may be on his way out there as they’ve lost their magic, and with the NFL experience Manning has, I’m sure he would go with Campbell to the NFL if that’s where he ended up. Yeah, maybe. But Campbell talks so much about the young players who aren't even playing much. He makes it clear that he has a view to the future. He always talks about "building something" here. Once of his mantras is "outcomes aware, but process and purpose driven." He sometimes talks about enjoying practices more than the games. I don't think a blue blood job would allow that attitude. It is perfect for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much thoughts on him at Purdue this year. Good post. This is interesting. Lambert built the UNCC program from scratch. He worked there for at least one year before there were even any players and was highly involved in every aspect of the program and construction of facilities. The losing record doesn't bother me because it is sort of expected considering the circumstances were so difficult. What is most intriguing to me is his history at Wake Forest. He was defensive coordinator when they won the ACC during the Grobe years. They really had some good defenses and brought in some really good players like Aaron Curry and Al Smith. It's not easy to win at Wake Forest and he was part of winning. Akron needs a coach like that whether it's him or someone else. There would be a money problem.

clarkwgriswold Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) It would certainly be an about face to go from the guy who repeatedly touted character to a guy (Petrino) with none. On top of his college "incidents" he bailed on the Atlanta Falcons in mid-season. You know, we could hire Petrino and when Groce moves to a bigger job we could bring in Rick Pittino. Pittino and Petrino. Wow, I think I'm onto something here! Edited November 15, 2021 by clarkwgriswold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still a cancer and has no place at Akron. If he were to be hired he would leave whenever he felt like it such as when he coached the Atlanta Falcons and left mid-season w/o even speaking to the players. No class. No morals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess as we await the news we will have some lively discussions about potential candidates. So I will continue this and say: in this situation, you can't separate coach from person. He used his position as a coach to have an affair with a co-ed and misuse school resources, etc. I would wonder what other dastardly deeds he's engaged in with recruiting in order to build up that winning record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make it clear I wasn't advocating for him, just making it known. If I had to guess, he would win some here, but leave us high and dry as soon as he could in a likely inconvenient position. Not somebody I want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m always very skeptical when I see Zac Jackson’s name attached to Akron news. He stopped caring and putting effort into covering Akron when Dambrot left. I think the only time he’s been back since then was during Buffalo’s dominant run in MBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
