Captain Kangaroo Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 There's a lot of Zips football media content posted, but it's interspersed throughout multiple threads. For ease of searchability it seems like it may be a good idea to consolidate them in a single thread. Let's see how it goes. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of the best postgame pressers I’ve ever heard from a Zip coach. Every Akron fan needs to check this out, this man is one of us and he wants it as bad as we do! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoZip Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 This is good crap right here. I believe in this guy. He’s a great coach, a great guy, and is committed to building this program. It’s an uphill battle with a program that has been down for so long but I think he can do it. We all want immediate results but it’s a process. Everyone needs to grab a friend and drag them to the games, change is coming! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I got a kick out of George stumbling over the program progress analogy..."First you win big, then lose small...or was it lose small, then win by a little? I think the Zips skipped a step, but I don't know which one...can you help me out, Joe? Is it starve a cold and feed a fever, or feed a fever, starve a cold?..." 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, he at least had plenty prepared to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we can't see is the Block O in the top corner of his notepad that he "prepared" these questions on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George must not be watching the games if he doesn’t know which OL are entrenched. It’s clearly Whigan and Williams….despite what PFF thinks.

"Not on our watch." And the redshirting comment. This guy gets it! He doesn't mince words and actually gives interesting commentary just about every time he's in front of a microphone. My confidence in this staff grows by the day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Morehead just looks and sounds like a football coach. Arth always sounded like a high school kid that had been woken up by being called on after nodding off in class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdt1420 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Crazy that we love the sound of him, and the SEC media hated him. Just a different expectation and regional dialect I suppose. Their loss is our gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a different expectation and regional dialect I suppose. Their loss is our gain. Great point. I have thought a lot in the past couple of years with all of our losing, just how much nicer it is to be a fan of a Mid-Major as compared to a P5. As a G5, you can lose like Akron has, and still have hope every year of at least fighting for a bowl game or trip to Detroit as there are different levels of rewards. If you’re in the SEC? Unless you’re Vandy, you are in a hopeless race year after year just hoping that maybe you can get lucky one time to even sniff the CFP. Doesn’t sound like much fun to me. But to each his/her own.

From the sounds of it, he did not have full control over who was on his staff. That will never work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 https://www.facebook.com/AkronZips/videos/447346677262932 Good info from Moorhead in this on recruiting. Says he looks to keep half the class high school and half transfers (at least right now). He expects 25 total openings, while mentioning up to 32. This tells me to expect very few additional HS commits and to expect another 10+ players to transfer out, considering we only have something like 12 scholarship seniors. I think that's a smart move for this year. There are some scholly guys who aren't contributing multiple years into their career, so likely won't ever, and I don't see a ton in the way of younger guys who are ready to step up and fill spots of those seniors graduating. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little taken aback by his response. We know 15 players are committed, so either Joe misspoke about the numbers or 3 of the players’ offers are not being honored. The second part I’m confused about is I thought for 2023 and 2024 FBS schools could sign as many players as they wanted as long as they were at the 85 scholarship limit for the start of the reason. Maybe that does not kick in until 2024? Joe said we could take up to 32, which was the case for the 2022 class, so IDK at this point. Great info about how the classes will be structured. As I figured, the thread about outstanding offers is pretty much useless at this point, haha. But who knows, maybe we get 1 or 2 more of those guys? I can’t wait to see the caliber of players the staff brings in from the portal in year 2. Home runs this year with Harper, Jones, SJL, Adams, George, and Whigan. Thomas and Thompson have been steadily improving. And we’ve seen some good things out of Golden-Nelson, Terry, Banes, Wiley, Banks, Price, Fish. That’s a pretty high batting average and leads me to believe the 2023 transfer class will be as good or better.
