@footballscoop reporting that Terry Bowden will be the next coach at Akron.
I could see Terry Bowden developing into a top level coach in the next few years. Again. Played D1 fb, wicked smart, great coaching lineage. This was an awesome get by the Zips. Don't see Terry staying more than a couple or three years though. Then again, perhaps he's fed up with dealing with Auburn-type boosters. He won't have that trouble at Akron.
Yeah...I always thought the way that whole Auburn thing went down was just weird. From the outside looking in, it would appear that Bowden's wheels kind of flew off there. But I think a lot of inside people would tell you that Auburn deal had a darker side to it. From everything I heard, they basically have one booster (Lowder) running the entire program and once Bowden got sideways with him, his fate was sealed. I didn't blame him for hanging it up after that. But now that he's back in the coaching mix, he should have a pretty fast track back into the BCS level teams...if he wants that. Good coach...good hire by Akron I think.
