1981 grad Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, Hilltopper said: How do you know there wasn't? 🤔 I do not know that but I was hoping that the people on this board had more sense than to hire Rob Ianello or Tom Arth. I did know a faculty member and was surprised to learn that was he was on a search committee for a coach. During the process he told me that Akron had found an amazing coach and used every superlative in the book about how this person was going to lead Akron to success. The coach was Caleb Porter. Not only was Caleb a great coach, but my kids played soccer and he was amazing with the kids and took time to speak to the parents at his summer soccer camp. Not surprising that the great coaches are people who relate well to others no matter the context of the relationship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search committees don't make the ultimate decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipsBBjunkie Posted Thursday at 06:26 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:26 PM My buddy said GVH has been quite active on Twitter as of late but haven’t had time to track the latest. I heard a while back he was the guy the trustees or at least Saxen wanted in there even before Guthrie departed. He was ranting about the odd decision making as usual by this university. You know Miller is out, you know you want Guthrie out, but you sign him to a 4 year extension - not one or two or just leave his current contract in place - after Miller was already chopped behind the scenes. Then you waste money on a fake search if in fact they go with Van Horn and the entire search was a front to Make it seem like it wasn’t all predetermined. Whatever sounds like business as usual. Hope Faulds sticks around and GVH helps elevate baseball again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like most managerial and CEO positions aren't actually needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted Friday at 02:17 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:17 PM I remember when the Sipe-to-Rucker combination was all the rage. Any Rucker to follow pales by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
