Akron has fired head football coach Rob Ianello. Here is a look at the Akron Zips over the last two seasons of Ianello's tenure.
This season (2011) Akron was 1-11. Akron had the fifth worst productive team in NCAA FBS, ranking them at #116. Their offense was second from last (119) and their defense ranked #97. The 2010 season was not much better. Akron was also 1-11. The Zips offense ranked #119 (second worst), their defense was #90 and their total production was #112. Since Akron does not have much farther to fall, it looks as if they decided it was time to change their head football coach.
Please note: As the 2011-2012 bowl games are played the final rankings may adjust some in future blogs.
