Eric Wolford
Lets_Talk:
I wish Eric Wolford the best. He is still young. He will likely have other opportunities to be a HC at the FCS or FBS level in the future, if that is something he wishes to pursue. He was far from awful as HC at YSU, just was not able to meet the expectations. And, expectations for YSU football are among the highest in FCS. Had he been at Indy State, MSU, South Dakota, SIU or even ISU, he'd likely still be HC with the same records his teams had at YSU.
Best of success Eric!!!!!!!!!
paladin:
He should do well at Okie St. Based on continued improvement each year here, he'll have a resume' that will lead to another head job, easily at a better school than YSU. YSU pulled the plug too quick on him. Okie St. should win and maybe big. Just a guess, but given the connections and his background , HC at Kansas St. isn't out of the question. Will be hearing more about the Wolf in the future. Good luck, coach.
IAA Fan:
Would agree with you, but he should have held out out for a I-AA/FCS job in the south at a lesser program. Without his staff he would not make it anyway. His success here was all coach M & his downfall was the inability to develop an aggressive defense with coach M'f finesse offense. Pelini will have the same issue. Wolf is in an assistant position coach ...had they hired him at OC, I might be able to see where you are coming from Paladin. I suggest his wife was hired first.
Penguin Nation:
Eric Wolford left the program better than he found it.
I'll never forget the Pitt game, the win at NDSU, or leading Penn State in his very first game.
Happy Travels.

Montgomery is not that good. His offenses fail in big games because his play calling becomes too conservative and lacks any creativity. It looks like a video game where the players run the same play over and over. I would also like to point out that under Wolford Defense was not as emphasized and the best players were on offense. Montgomery had the advantage of having the best players. With as many running backs we had on the bench I would have moved somebody to LB. As you know we have struggled at LB since Wolford came here (until last year). Montgomery's offense couldn't move the ball on NDSU again this year and we were embarrassed. We lost to an Indiana State team we should have beaten because his offense couldn't move the ball. Meanwhile the defense which has been a problem for years under Wolford actually kept the scoring down to within reason even after being on the field the entire game. You can't sit there and tell me that he is the best thing since sliced bread. Montgomery has issues and is part of the reason why we don't win against the best teams. How about throwing to the two TE's that were complete studs? He wasted them. Wasted. Pisses me off. How many times has he called a play without an outlet receiver?
