I guess this is the kind of crap that proves my point - back to back posts on the Akron board where they essentially want Dambrot fired or serious changes made to the program. Overreact much? You can either justify it that all fans do it (and continue to look like idiot Zip fans who want their coach fired after making the MAC title game in 9/13 years) or get on board, be supportive and encouraging, and enjoy the ride. It could be much worse.

Yeah - I'm sure if you asked an Acorn fan if he'd like a new coach to reach the MAC Championship game 9 times in 11 years, he'd take it. Well, Dambrot's on that streak. Those other seasons, he lost in the semifinals. I don't like him because he's the Acorn coach, but I do acknowledge he's the best coach in the MAC now.

The next best teams over that 11 years are Ohio, Kent State, and Buffalo with 3 MAC Championship game appearances

I do understand their frustration though. He seems to be very good at winning close games during the regular season and early rounds of the tournament. Then in the finals he seems to go the other way. It's probably is just one of those things but if I were an Akron fan I'd be scratching my head as to why it keeps happening. It would be silly to fire him though.
