  No, I changed my view on him. He is a great coach, congrats.

  Haha what?!
  
  When did I say he was a good caoch? I just find it incredibly retarded to bash on a school like Akron for hiring someone lol they could literally hire my next door neighbor and I wouldn't care, because it's Akron and I don't give a shit
  
  If you really think I "read only Pro-Akron sources and LJ" then idk what to tell you

  Innovative nickname you have there for him. Its bad when you have Pick6 and LJ going along with you and use like_that and COA nicknames. You forgot to say you pwn'd me though.
• karen lotz

  

  Either way, I really like the hire for Akron and expect big things from them soon.

  Whoa whoa whoa. I never said that I think he will be great there, not did I ever say that they will do great or big things. I just think it's a solid hire for an ailing program that needs to be competitive and needs wins.

  Bowden will do a great job, maybe get them to an seven or eight win season... but he will not be coaching there after three years.

  Not sure I've ever typed out "pwn'd"
  
  These aren't like_that and COA nicknames (whatever the fuck that means lol), I simply added douche at the end of jordo

  Yeah no one said they expected big things from him...I don't even have an opinion on the hire...like I said, I could care less, it's Akron.

  Bowden is a great hire, considering it's Akron.
• ts1227

  

  One of the posts I saw elsewhere regarding the Bowden hire...
  
  a) Bowden will accept about anything as a transfer/recruit, regardless of the baggage
  b) Akron will accept anything with a pulse as a student
  
  So until they get hit with NCAA violations and/or the entire team is academically ineligible, it should be a pretty damn good fit

  I doubt the NCAA is going to be breathing down Akron's neck

  I think Bowden is a good hire for Akron, as he at least brings a name and a winning track record with him.

  holy shit -- did he put on the poundage!!!
• Pick6

  

  First introduction is today at 5pm. Will also be speaking tonight at the girls basketball game and tomorrow night at the men's game against VCU
• Pick6

  

  Don't know where else to put this.. but the Zips are hiring Chuck Amato as the DC. Also stealing Terrel Buckley (S&C coach) from FSU to come here as the DB coach.
• jordo212000

  

  Chuck Amato and his man boobs are coming up to Akron huh?
• sportswizuhrd

  Wondered where Amato has been since NC State so did some googling and I guess he has had throat cancer since '09(right after Jimbo Fisher told him he wasnt being retained to the FSU staff with Bobby Bowden leaving) and out of football. Hope to see good things from the Zips!

  He's got an uphill battle...

  Wonder if he'll be sportin' the white framed specs
• Pick6

  

  Akron makes another hire. Mike Woodford, former DB coach for Florida and Illinois is coming here to be the safeties coach.
  
  So far the staff is:
  Terry Bowden- HC/OC
  Chuck Amato- DC
  John Pont- Probably LB coach
  Terrell Buckley- CB Coach
  Mike Woodford- Safeties coach
  Todd Stroud- DL coach
  Probably Jeff Bowden as the WR coach
  
  Pretty solid staff coming together for a MAC school.
