Please Elaborate

Not too much... the Redhawks are off this week.

Miami is getting killed by BYE right now. At this rate they will be too beat up to take the field next week.

I surprised no Redhawks have stepped up.

Stepped up for what???

This just in, Miami's bye week is a 7 point favorite to us...

Miami held on against Idle, but the game was closer than we would have liked.

Miami is so bad that we are only a 7 point favorite against Temple this week.

What has this world come to?

Temple is a very good football team overall. They have a great defense holding teams like Army, Buffalo, UConn and Western Michigan to few points. 3 very heartbreaking losses for Temple. Temple is very close to being 4-1. The one game that was a blowout was Penn State, but that team is #6 in country and has looked very inpressive against even ranked BCS teams. If Temple has their starting QB healthy this game would be showing Temple as a double digit favorite. I think Temple will shutout Miami. Miami wasn't even close against UC while Akron played UC very tough. Consider the rivalry and the thumping UC gave Miami last year that showed how bad Miami team is this year. Miami heading toward a third straight losing season.

Coach on a hot seat? (I suspect that list includes Genyk at Eastern and Martin at Kent).

You think one player would make a 17 point difference in a point spread? I hope you don't gamble.

For the first time in a while, Miami just doesn't have that natural leader at the QB position. Josh Betts, Mike Bath and Ben Roethlisberger were all very good guys to construct a team around. It's like the closer for a baseball team. If you have one, you build the bullpen around it, but if you don't, then the whole unit scuffles.

Miami 1-4..... Someone has to talk to Montgomery......

We should be asking whats going on in Toledo too.....looks like Amstutz seat is getting a little hotter

Let's just trade Amstutz for Montgomery straight up. Change of scenery, and all that.

Its pretty obvious the hottest seat of all is Montgomery. What he has done at Miami over the last 3 years is fire worthy for a program with the #1 non-BCS winning percentage.

Amstutz has a few titles to rest on, though his players were Pinkle recruits and we all know what Pinkle has been able to do at Missouri the traditional Big XII wasteland.

Genyk and Doug Martin will finish out their contracts because they've shown more success than the previous coaches at those schools and a winning season is considered a miracle at Kent and EMU.

Solich is not getting any breaks. The team should be 3-3. He also is at a school that is still just putting the building blocks in place to be a national program. Ohio doesn't have an indoor practice facility yet like most in the MAC. We've only had a booster club for 2 years. Its been baby steps down in Athens but we are making progress.

Hey, we're 1-5 with our only win vs. an FCS team! We must be making progress, too!

Unless there is a miracle turnaround, I would think that Shane is gone at the conclusion of the season. Gray days in Oxford.....

True but we have come a long ways as a program since the early 90's and that is my point. It has been slow but its definite progress on all fronts for the program.

The play by the Bobcats is mediocre to poor but the teams we lost to aside from Wyoming have winning records. That is not the kind of schedule Bobcat teams played 15 years ago. We never played any top 25 teams, mostly medium to weak FBS programs.

The next item on the agenda for the new Athletic Director is an announcement on a facilities master plan that will include the indoor practice facility and stadium expansion.

The future vision of the program is to play 6 home games every year with one of those a non-conference FBS opponent. Marshall on the schedule every year along with OSU, Penn State and Virginia Tech frequently. This is going to help ticket sales because it gives us a chance to compete with the best.

There have been a lot of stadium improvements at Ohio over the last 15 years along with recent improvements to the game day atmosphere that makes it a totally different experience. New mascot and sound system. Student section expanded to the first few rows. Student tailgate lot packed. Its getting better.
