First off thanks for your work on this list, I'll try to add a few comments to help move it along.


 * I'm trying to do the math here, the team started in 1895 and they have had 109 seasons, which if played consecutively, would put us at 2004. Is this correct?  I see that from 1891-1900 there was no coach, does this have something to do with it?
 * This also raises another question, in the list you start from 1891 but in the lead you say the team started in 1895, why the discrepency?
 * When I'm reviewing lists I look a lot at the lead, since the actual list is pretty straight forward. I also like to compare the list with other FL's of the same type to see if it matches up.
 * Here's one FL: List of East Carolina Pirates head football coaches. I note in the lead that the list discusses hall of fame honorees, you should probably mention this in the lead since the Zips had one.  Any national or conference coach of the year honorees?  What about former players that went on to coach either at Akron?  The final thing to point out are the references.  I'll speak about this later.
 * Here's another FL: List of Missouri Tigers head football coaches. In this one I like how the editor put the numbers in parentheses in the lead for games coached, winning percentage, years coached etc.  Not a requirement but a nice add I think.  Also in this list there is a short sentence or two on when the Tigers started in the Big 12.  A very short blurb on the Zips participation in the MAC would be appropriate.


 * Overall I think the lead is a bit light, I know that the Zips haven't had a storied football program but I think a bit more could be added. The fact that they had Heisman as their head coach (for only two seasons though) is notable and could be discussed in a little further detail.
 * References - where are they? I see one about Heisman as a hall of famer, anything else?  You'll need to reference the lead and provide references for the information in the list.  Again I refer back to the above to FLs, both of them are thoroughly referenced.  If your goal is to make the list featured, you'll need to do that work.
 * In the list the years 1891-1900 says "no coach" but then there are four coaches listed in this time frame, that is a bit confusing. I would suggest listing the coaches as you have and injecting the years when there was no coach, giving them each their own line.
 * What happened between 1904 and 1907? What happened between 1943 and 1945 (I assume WWII, but this should be outlined in the list).

That concludes my review. I hope you found it helpful. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to poke me on my talk page. Best of luck to you. H1nkles (talk) citius altius fortius 16:50, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
