blueandgold Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) He said during the Press Conference that the full staff will be in place by January 2nd. It sounds like he has the people lined up, but he alluded to it really being a matter of HR finalization.

LoyalZIP Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Once it became clear mid last week that JoMo was going to be the guy, I heard from multiple people that he as already reaching out about potential staff, and we've seen the JUCO get offered. I think there are definitely more than we're hearing about working under the radar to get things going, and then its balls to the wall come Jan. 2.

Fight For Zippy Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Could we see Paul Rhoads join the staff as Defensive Coordinator….. Coach Moorhead mentioned him in the press conference. Currently Coach Rhoads is a defensive analyst at Ohio State. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUcks just hired their Cowboy brother's DC to the same position. Not sure what that means for Rhoads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akrzips2012 Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Any thoughts here in Moorhead’s top LT aka his associate head coach? Definitely an important hire as he his staff together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while he might aspire to being a head coach again, I could see him really enjoying a position as DC for Akron. Make it happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I don't know much about his hires, but from what I can tell so far they seem solid. Again, I don't know much, but it seems like there might be more funding for assistants with a little better experience than D3. Credibility of assistants is key to capturing the attention of high school coaches. Capturing their attention gets better recruits. Better recruits make coaches look good because they win.

kreed5120 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 It seems a bit odd that the whole staff is pretty much in place excluding the 2 most important positions. I have to think Moorhead has people lined up and who they are just hasn't leaked yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say it enough to anyone I’ve talked to. Has a program that’s gone 3-27 over three seasons ever brought in this kind of experience before? This ST coach has been a Mississippi State lifer, now he’s jumping ship to go to Akron. I’m blown away! Can’t wait to get to washing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember he used to go out of his way to be a prick to Akron fans on social media and might have had an account here too? Must have been a real thorn since I still remember him by name after all these years. The best thing to do with this idiots is ignore them. Just save the receipts and fire back at them when Akron beats OU. Edited December 13, 2021 by akzipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
