Re: Housewright to Akron
In the past decade we've had a coordinator take a job at another school, promote internally to replace him, and then have the first coordinator come back and continue to ruin our defense (hint) that very next year because his job fell through at his new school. So I don't think we're remiss to talk about how weird it is that Akron isn't mentioning anything about him

Re: Housewright to Akron
I'm not either, but I don't think it's weird to talk about the fact that Akron hasn't acknowledged that he's working for them. Did the administration find out about the DUI's afterwards and block the hire? And if so, does Vigen let Housewright come back and then we have an awkward co-offensive coordinator situation? I don't think that's going to happen but I think it's still relevant to discuss.coloradocat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 11:28 amI'm not too concerned about Housewright ruining our defense.blueandgoldblitz wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 10:04 amIn the past decade we've had a coordinator take a job at another school, promote internally to replace him, and then have the first coordinator come back and continue to ruin our defense (hint) that very next year because his job fell through at his new school.

Re: Housewright to Akron
Doesn’t happen often that a successful young coach just kind of disappears from the football world. It is a bit strange that Akron never has had anything on their official website about their alleged hotshot Offensive Coordinator hire.

Re: Housewright to Akron
All I had to do was scroll down a bit further and see this, which are my thoughts too on the Housewright situation. Is there a chance he ends up back on staff? Did he simply wear out his welcome here and made his own “leak” to 406 Sports about Akron when he didn’t officially have that job? It’s very strange that he just sort of disappeared from any coaching news considering his success at MSU even with the pending charges.blueandgoldblitz wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 9:05 amI'm not either, but I don't think it's weird to talk about the fact that Akron hasn't acknowledged that he's working for them.

Re: Housewright to Akron
Use your common sense guys, there's absolutely no chance that Vigen will bring Housewright back after promoting someone else to OC. It's definitely an odd situation, Akron hasn't announced the hire of anyone as their new OC yet which you'd think would've happened by mid-March when spring practices are about to begin. Perhaps he's "quietly" on staff there but they're waiting for his DUI case to finally be resolved before announcing it. Maybe he was never going to Akron and the media just got it wrong. All the release put out by MSU said was that he was leaving to pursue other opportunities.

I hope he gets his personal "house" in order and becomes a very successful OC.

I suspect that when Akron gets around to updating its website, Housewright will be on the staff.

Re: Housewright to Akron
Yeah, the old Akron OC is currently at UCLA but is still listed on the Akron roster. I’m sure there will be something out on their web page or media by the end of Spring ball.
Maybe Housewright was in charge of updating the MSU and Akron rosters.

Meh. You guys are acting on pure speculation. Maybe there’s something to it, maybe there isn’t.

I would guess it has more to do with nobody caring about Akron football, personally.

Re: Housewright to Akron
Someone mentioned that his football X account is no longer. If true, that means more to me than a website roster. But who knows if it is really anything at all.
Has there been a hearing in his criminal case?

Re: Housewright to Akron
I hope he gets everything in order. I'm probably assuming this is more related to the DUI, but maybe it's something else. The DUI, while not smart, shouldn't be a career-ender. Maybe he has to go down a level for a while, but I think he's certainly talented enough to be in the football business if he wants to go through that grind. The business has changed though and for a lot of guys it's not worth it.wbtfg wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 10:49 amAFCAT wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 3:29 pmYeah, the old Akron OC is currently at UCLA but is still listed on the Akron roster.

Re: Housewright to Akron
I was looking into the case records of his DUI to see if that had been settled and noticed that he had a civil case back around Cat/Griz that states that he got divorced. Now, it could just be someone with a similar name and I can't be sure it's him but he may be going through a lot of personal matters at the moment and I feel for him. The DUI was 100% his fault but I don't wish divorce on anyone.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 11:22 amI hope he gets everything in order.

Re: Housewright to Akron
Oh wow, that's a lot to deal with. The stress of that court case and the stress of a divorce--along with the usual stress of being a college football coach--has to be brutal. I personally didn't like him the last year or two, but after hearing all of this I'm definitely pulling for him to stay ahead of this and not let it derail his whole professional life.blueandgoldblitz wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 12:16 pmI was looking into the case records of his DUI to see if that had been settled and noticed that he had a civil case back around Cat/Griz that states that he got divorced.
