Dr Z Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 GP1 and Dr Z specifically 1. Are you guys satisfied with the rate at which the zips are improving? 2. What specifically do you like about JD 3. Lastly if this season mirrors last years performance, or the best we do is 500 seasons, how long should we wait until we hire a new coach? I am curious what your answers will be, I am just not sold 100% on JD like you guys are, and I am wondering if your reasons will persuade my thinking.1. I'm not satisfied until we are undefeated.2. I like the way JD has won a MAC championship, got us to a bowl game and beat a BCS team. Something nobody has ever done here at Akron. These are goals that JD talked about when he first got here and he delivered.3. Do you honestly think that Akron can afford to buy out JD's contract right now and hire a new coach in the next 3 years?Do you think our AD considered that when JD was given an extension? So I'm not really willing to entertain the thought of "firing" JD yet.More than 80% thought if this was losing season, JD should stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Three or four years ago now, Pitt started the season 2-2 under Walt Harris and one of the local sports writers wrote an article titled, "Who Will Be Pitt's Next Head Coach?" Harris went on to win seven in a row and Pitt went to a BCS Bowl. At the end of the year he was let go and Dave Wanstead was hired. Wanstead has absolutely run that program into the ground in three years.Be careful of what you wish for......... Post of the Year nominee!!!

You are right about that, but in that 80% almost every post mentions "depending" on how bad the losing season. So I guess we are like Notre Dame and stuck with our coach until his contract runs out.
