I hope you are wrong about Creighton hanging around, but if you are correct, then we have 5-7, 6-6, or maybe 7-5 records to look forward to eternity.

Poll all the coaches in America and you will find that the EMU head coaching job is the least desirable job in DI football. It just is. Just the fact that some people are calling for his firing after narrowly losing to Toledo highlights how far this program has come since he took over. Thankfully, most people understand this.

I think the whole situation with Creighton can be summed up by what by boss once told me. I had a co-worker who came in every day, their work was not great, but they got somethings done and you could at leas count on them being there. My boss was often frustrated with some of the quality of their work and I asked why we don't...move on from that person. He told me "at least I know what I'm going to get." He went on to explain that sure we could get rid of this person, but will anyone then apply for the opening? The employee isn't THAT bad, so it was possible their replacement could be worse.

I think most people are worried about the unknown. Who would replace him? Would they even be able to do a better job? No one really knows the answers to those questions.

I'm quite frustrated, but I'm not all in on the FIRE CREIGHTON crew. What I would like to see him do is give up control of the offense and try to find someone with an innovated offensive mind. That would probably take some $$ from the University that I don't know if he could get, or trying to find some young up and comer from a lower level.

Good post.

With the help of Wikipedia, I'm going to use the AKRON ZIPS as an example of what happens when thing go bad (changing HCs):

J. D. Brookhart 2004–09 30–42 .417
Rob Ianello 2010–11 2–22 .083
Terry Bowden 2012–2018 35–52 .402
Tom Arth 2019–2021 3–24 .111
Joe Moorhead 2022–pres. 1-8 .111

Let's look at this picture:

J.D. Brookhart had a losing record and eventually got fired.

Next up Rob Ianello who was a disaster... and got fired.

Next up Terry Bowden who righted the ship but eventually got fired too.

Next up Tom Arth, another disaster, and got fired.

And now Joe Moorhead, with a not too gaudy 1 - 8 record as he awaits EMU.

Do we see a pattern here??? (I do ).

It’s funny you chose Akron to prove your point. I think they’re going to beat us next week.

If we lose to Akron, A team who hasn't beaten A D1 team this season, then Creighton should be fired after the game!
