Vindy just reported it too.

They did that a week ago as well. I'll believe it when there's a press conference

Yes. My son said the same thing. He is still questioning it.
They probably are waiting for Pelini to be in town for the press conference. YSU made the announcement on Tressel for President right after the executive committee of BOT met. Of course, Tressel was already in the area.

Okay, next question is WTF is Pelini thinking taking this job? From HC at Nebraska to HC of an FCS program that has made the playoffs 1 time in 14 years. Pretty sharp drop off. Hard for me to believe the YSU job is the best he can do. And, he had best win and win big, or he can forget another FBS Head job.
Losing the "money game", losing to NDSU and at least 1 other MVFC team, then going to playoffs and winning 1 game will be failure for a coach that was HC for 7 years at Nebraska. People will be expecting Tressel like results. And, not just YSU fans. Failure to beat teams like NDSU, failure to win MVFC and failure to make deep playoff run and win NC within next 2-3 years will just make the opinion that "Pelini teams cannot win the big games" echo louder than ever.

Jeez man life isn't always about taking the "best" job. Maybe he wanted to be close to his family. Maybe he wanted a less stressful situation. I make 6 figs in the military yet chose to get out because I want to be closer to my family and I'm sure I'll take a huge paycut.

Also, the comments on ESPN.com and now CBSSportsline are not exactly flattering toward YSU. Tells you how much the luster from the 90's has been lost. One person on CBSSportsline commented:
"What? Was the gig at Slippery Rock not available?
"lmao...i wouldn't even take that job" ... another from CBS Sportsline
Comments from ESPN:
"That's like Wall Street to walmart."
"He couldn't do any better than Youngstown State?"
"youngstown power house since when? lol .. they were good with Tersel at helm thats about it ..Also Pelini didnt know how to head a team or hire correct asst is were the blackshirts went had the talent didnt know how to use it."
