GoZips86 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Good for him. He wasn't what we needed at Akron for our beloved Zips, but he seems like a good guy so I wish him well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Does this save the U (or boosters) $$ on his buyout? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-zip Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 George apparently does not have spellcheck. Grammar and spelling for a journalist....nah. Quote In what should come as a surprise to very few, former University of Akron football coach Tom Arth has land a job as pass game specialist with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a report from ESPN.

Grammar and spelling for a journalist....nah. This is the same newspaper that printed a bold-faced headline on page A-2 last week that referenced a Russian Pkot to invade Ukraine. A big old headline, since deleted in its archive e-edition. Edited February 9, 2022 by clarkwgriswold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news for Arth, and even better news for the University! Here's to saving some money over the next few years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I figured this would be his next move. I believe he interviewed with LAC a couple years ago. Thanks to that not working out, we suffered through another season of two of crap, which allowed us to hire Joe Moorhead. Really wishing Tom well. DI HC wasn't his calling, but maybe he'll catch on in the NFL. He seems like a big brain, considering Manning & Staley think highly of him. Also glad to hear the University is saving money. Any idea how much is being saved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zips4life20 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 What a world, you can go from 3 wins as a HC in college and getting fired, to an NFL job. Ive been doing life all wrong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 You can go from three wins in the NFL, and get a HC job in college too. Three wins is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very disappointed we are still on the first page! Hopefully someone can keep a log of all Charger results and passing game statistics in here so we can keep up with our fired coach who is completely irrelevant to the future of Akron football.

Zipmeister Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 To help perpetuate this thread I suggest someone, other than me, start a list of important dates in Arth's life (e.g., each date he coached a D1 win, the date he was hired to coach the Zips, his birthday) and every year on those dates each member of Zipsnation can contribute a post explaining why that date is special to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 There will be a total meltdown in this thread the next time Akron doesn't defeat mighty Bowling Green, the program that Arth made his B**** for nearly his entire tenure at Akron. We should have been more grateful! How can you get rid of that guy?!?!?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly expect to hear about the Chargers' winning and losing streaks, passing statistics, and any player attrition that could at least be partially attributed to the Passing Game Specialist.

I have Herbert in a dynasty league, so we're gonna hope it's just winning and big numbers, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
