I agree with this!!! ...

I mean, if Kent was playing an Ohio-type schedule every year (which should be the model for all MAC teams), that's one thing.

But paying the bills every year with the likes of Alabama (twice), LSU, Penn State (twice), Clemson, Louisville and others consistently in the Top 25 a sling shot going against a cannon.

Understand ... these type of teams are not playing to just be bowl eligible, like the Purdues and Missouri's and Rutgers of the world. They are playing to get into the 4-team playoffs.

Playing backups and such is secondary to piling up the stats against teams like Kent, that have absolutely no shot at winning.

This is a pure money grab (usually around $1-mil a game), not a recipe for success but failure (are you counting the season-ending injuries once again)

And (2) it's a taffy pull for recruiting.

Hazell hit the perfect storm inheriting a pair of NFL linemen (and a B10 transfer Olineman), a NFL return specialist (when he played) and a fourth NFL player (Nix) who has found a home switching from defense to offense.

It doesn't matter who the coach is ... Nick Saban or Urban ... you can't build a winning MAC program and cash checks at the same time in this league.

And just as an aside ... wonder how successful the Kent basketball program would be with the AD doing that schedule.

Not saying the $$$ philosophy is wrong, especially in this day and age ... but the expectations have to be in line with that philosophy as well.

Firing Haynes is no different than firing Doug Martin or Jim Corrigall or pick a name ... it's just going to cost a bit more for the next coach to have the same results ... meaning Kent will probably have to play all four non-con games for $$$ before the start of MAC play in the future.

This is not how you win, or even become competitive, in college football.
I would say this is a great assessment of where we are/have been and are stuck. Hazel was fortunate to play Rutgers and Army the year we made it to Detroit. Still as a loyal fan since 1969 - this offense is one of the ugliest excuses for football I can remember and I can only point to the OC for the blame. Funny thing was with Corrigall we had an offense but no defense?

In all fairness to that team, Rutgers was ranked when we went there and beat them.

You have a point there - but like us Rutgers can't deal with prosperity!
