GP1 Posted 20 hours ago Report Posted 20 hours ago 1 hour ago, Captain Kangaroo said: 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. 2 Quote

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. Quote

ZipsBurgh Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago 12 hours ago, MangoZip said: Heard Adams was a disciplinary scratch last week, maybe he was still in the doghouse? 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. Quote
ZippyDoo Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago IF Newell and Adams were disciplinary scratches then I am fine with that and that shows JoeMo is trying to discipline the players and hold them accountable just like a lot on here are complaining about. Adams was also scratched from Nebraska so I am believing that the assumption is correct. Cheatom also has been scratched for two games. He traveled to both games and was in uniform but has not sniffed the field other than warm ups. He was the most productive or one of the most productive against Wyoming and yet can't get on the field now, again I guess he is in the doghouse also. I am new to this forum and I love all the input and especially all the work that Cat and others put into analyzing. It's awesome. But it also seems like there are a lot that come on to basically say fire JoeMo, end the football program it's not worth it, spend the money elsewhere... etc etc. To those people I think there is only two solutions, bitch until the program ends or fire JoeMoe. But what happens when the next coach comes in and has to start all over again, the losses continue, there is no NIL money to pay any player to come here, no players want to come here because of the continuous losses, and the losing seasons continue, those same people will be on here screaming the same thing end the program, get rid of this coach, he sucks, we should have never hired him. Until things change as whole throughout the college format teams are always going to struggle. Akron is very far behind the eight ball and people will say Bowling Green changed it or Buffalo changed it... Buffalo was losing until there was a little over a minute left in the game... Akron can change it around, I do believe JoeMo can change it. I'm not a fan of a lot of the decisions player wise but he has to work with what he has. I'm sure he did not go into the season expecting Finley to look like a first year qb for the first two games. The younger players need to get experience. I think Bozz will be good he can learn a lot from Coop. The freshman that are here look extremely talented if you go in and look at their highlights. We have a freshman D lineman that is 6'4 317 lbs. He is young but look at his highlights he is a force. We have a defensive end that is 6'5 265 lbs. Look at his highlights this kid dominated both sides of the ball (even was the team QB and won all section QB and D end) there are a lot of highlights of him dunking and dominating basketball games, and was a star pitcher. We have a safety that is a freak of nature that is extremely fast and athletic, and we have two linebackers one from VA and one from FL that again if you watch their highlights they dominate. And we cannot forget McManus who is a true freshman as well and is holding his own. Maybe we should to get these other guys on the field and see what they can do now before they lose interest. The D line certainly needs help and the secondary is getting shredded. The team lost half of last years roster, I'm sure they will lose more after this season. Something has to entice these players to stay here and want to be here. That is the only way JoeMo or the next coach can build a winning program. It starts at the core and they want to stay. 1 Quote

kreed5120 Posted 46 minutes ago Report Posted 46 minutes ago (edited) FCS budget and FCS talent trying to compete in FBS. We have a few good players, like Patrick, but they will almost certainly be transferring elsewhere after this season since we can't afford their NIL. We can't fix the talent issue until we fix the money issue. If we don't have financial backers stepping up to carry this program what makes anyone think our situation will change? New coach, same problems. Edited 40 minutes ago by kreed5120 Quote
