whiner there is as a college coach?in an N&O article today he is telling everyone that Akron is allowed to have non-qualifiers on their team b/c the MAC allows their schools to take those kids. He was saying that those kids make a big difference. The article says that they had three last year and ONE this year. I don't care if they have 10 of them, it doesn't seem to bother all of the other teams that beat Akron most every week outside of their conference. http://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/485335.htmlthis article just upsets me b/c it makes it shows Amato whining the entire time, trying to defend the program.i wish he would just one time do what i just saw art shell do on sportscenter in his postgame: "I didn't not prepare my team well enough to play the Chargers today and I take responsibility for that" he has never done that. he always tries to defend the program after every loss and say how good the other team was.

Okay this is pretty ridiculous on his part. I think the 3-4 partial qualifiers they have are offset by the multimillion dollar facilities we have that help attract 4 star qualifiers.On the other hand, I am gaining more respect for Chuck.If i were him I would have thrown Marcus Stone under the bus by now just to take the heat off me.
9/12/2006 10:16:11 AM
chuck is a joke. that article made him look like an absolute moron and all they did was quote him and reference facts to his statements.
9/12/2006 10:18:12 AM
I didn't even though that the MAC allowed partial qualifiers b/c I had never heard another coach say anything about it or complain about it before. It didn't seem to bother Penn St. when they beat them by 20; and we know that PSU isn't all that great b/c of what happened against Notre Dame.either way, if Akron had beat PSU I seriously doubt you would have heard Joe Pa after the game say that it wasn't fair b/c all of the partial qualifiers that they have made a difference.

9/12/2006 10:28:41 AM
if you dont have to havea a subscription, go to packpride.com and listen to the audio with chuck. Fast forward to 15 minutes and listen to the questions that were asked. It was Chip Alexander from the N & blow and he fucking baited him with a question, chuck answered it in the only way possible to not look like he was disrespecting his opponent... chip kept asking the same question cause chuck didnt want to answer, and chuck finally gave him what he wanted. Chuck sounds like a dick a little, and he shouldnt have brought up partial qualifiers, but when you here how the questions were asked you cant blame him for what he did. It was totally absurd that a reporter could ask questions in such a manor.
9/12/2006 10:30:26 AM

They played it on 620 this morning and Chuck sounded like a studdering idiot looking for excuses. "Our facility hasn't been around for 20 years guys"---yeah well it has had several nice additions that have been around for a couple of years, like the Murphy center.
9/12/2006 10:35:19 AM
it is sad that you can pick out all of these quotes from one articlei bet be made some big donors happy talking about the fact that the facilities that they gave all of their money for can't make a big diff. in recruiting yet b/c they have only been around a couple of years

i came here in the fall of 03.03 season - with philip rivers we have a mediocre season for what its worth, go to the tangerine bowl wreck shit end of story. immediately i begin to question amato as a coach.04 season - dont even make a fuckin bowl game. amato knew damn well philip wasnt gonna be here forever and showed me he was very unprepared, which is absolutelyfuckinridiculous.05 season - with a top defensive unit in the country manage the meineke car care bowl with another lackluster season. this is mostly because of issues at the qb position. chuck has had 5-6 years to recruit a quality qb from a year or 2 before phil left up until now, and we havent seen shit. with nearly every team ive seen under chuck (minus 02) we have expended energy recruiting on only one side of the ball and god knows if chuck even does any coaching (from what ive heard from his own players, he doesnt do much).weve put up with this shit for way too long. we have so much unused talent, and i dont know if these guys werent right for college football, or if our coaching staff fucking sucks, but something isnt right, and hasnt been for a few years. somehow chuck bullshits from interview to interview and gets away with it and saves his job. its bullshit. chuck amato is a joke and a poor reflection on this university.[Edited on September 12, 2006 at 10:48 AM.

9/12/2006 11:01:40 AM
well ive been here since i was bornyou can not make a case that we are a better coached team now than we were before amato got here, nor can you even say that we are coached as well now as we were his first two yearsits all about the assistantsdoesnt anyone remember when he used to say, "we dont have fsu talent here, we have to win with discipline." and we didwe outcoached other schools, and we had more discipline than other schools. where did it go?

two years where we had a shitty quarterbacknow we dont have a defense to go along with our shitty quarterback
9/12/2006 11:09:35 AM
years in which we had a defense but no offense.What expectations do you have? Do you think we should get a national championship? Win the ACC every year? What are your expectations. Get back to me when you witness the team beat Texas one week then lose to Baylor the next.
9/12/2006 11:10:34 AM
if this is a rebuilding year, than what were the last 2 years?
9/12/2006 11:12:07 AM
i expected chuck, just as any other coach would, to recruit and develop a quality quarterback behind phil. that way when we had a sicknasty defense, we probably would have done better than 6-5. im not asking for a national championship, but some sort of progress, and in 3 years we have made none.[Edited on September 12, 2006 at 11:15 AM.

9/12/2006 11:14:57 AM
to chuck's defense in QB recruiting...he had Brent Schaeffer lined up to come in as soon as Rivers left. He did a good job recruiting that guy. Schaeffer screwed us and went to TN...so we got stuck w/ Davis and Stone.
9/12/2006 11:15:19 AM
well, not every recruit pans out. Just ask Jay Davis and Marcus Stone.Chuck has learned the leason though. That's why we brought in Burke, Beck, Cox, and wilson
9/12/2006 11:16:23 AM
sure, but part of recruiting your star guy is showing him that he's gonna be "the guy". How secure is he gonna be about coming to your school if you're signing another 4 star QB too? Look at what Lowe's doing with Chris Wright...he's putting all his eggs in that basket in hopes that it will show Wright that Lowe wants to make him "the guard".

my macrolevel is firing chuck. there are too many negatives. for example, he avoids personally taking blame in any loss weve ever had as much as possible. he seems like a liar and a douchebag, id rather have someone up there that isnt stuttering, stammering, looking for excuses, and takes responsibility for losing to akron.[Edited on September 12, 2006 at 11:23 AM.

I came in when Amato came in. I have family members that have played with Chuck and family memebers that have played with Sheridan, plus hearing from players with the aforementioned coaches (not just those related to me)---it has gone downhill since he's been here. Chuck needs to go. Head coaching is a lot harder than he thought.[Edited on September 12, 2006 at 11:28 AM. Reason : .]
