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.

I heard Dave on the radio call say Newell was back after a two game suspension for violating team rules.  Also that Alex Adams was back, but No targets for the former all american??whats up with that?

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

He’s been a waste of a scholarship the past 3 years.

We were at the game sitting right behind the bench and kept commenting on Adams. He was fully dressed, but basically stayed away from the offense when they were off the field. He spent most of the time sitting on equipment trunks and exercise bikes. In the first half he actually had his gloves on looking like he was ready to go in. In the second half he never even put them on.  He definitely seemed upset which makes me think it’s disciplinary.
