I thought is would be interesting to compare the coaching staffs and budget between UAB and Akron. From what I can tell, UAB's football budget is roughly 11 million dollars...about double that of the Zips

 

UAB has 24 football coaches and 18 support staff.

Akron has 12 coaches and 6 support staff.

 

And we only lost by 3 to them, on the road.

 

 

The first D1 team at Akron had 10 coaches. The only thing they have more today of is an extra DB coach and special teams coordinator. This is year 38 of complete mismanagement.

I appreciate the analysis, CK, but I never want to support a program that is satisfied with a close, competitive loss on the road because we are outspent off the field. On the field, that was a winnable game, and we beat ourselves with a lack of discipline, which has little to nothing to do with off the field spending.

Heard Adams was a disciplinary scratch last week, maybe he was still in the doghouse?
