Watching that press conference really got me excited about YSU football. Some interesting quotes he said that I heard.

-He said if he were looking to move in a couple years, he wouldn't have taken the job.

-Said he is looking forward to having his kids graduate from Cardinal Mooney

-Said he reached out to YSU to see if they had any interest in the job, finally knew he was coming here on Monday.

-Said he wants to get BUTTS IN THE SEATS and get this community excited about YSU football again

- Said he has had a lot of interest from coaches wanting to come here but will meet with current staff today

-They haven't finalized a contract yet, will iron out the details later on

-Said Tressel was a big reason why he took the job, wants to learn a lot from him, since he has an understanding of how to coach on this level

Bo also said he hasn't talked to Carl about coming here but it is a possibility.

--- End quote ---
Does this honestly sound like a guy that is going to leave us after 1-2 years as a head coach? I'd imagine whatever deal is reached, it will be a 4-5 year deal.

As he made mention of during his press conference, he would have taken one of the other offers that came his way if he wasn't committed to being the head coach here. Perhaps you can get the exact quote, but that is what he insinuated.

Congrats Ron Strollo and Jim Tressel on a great hire!

Spiderlegs:
I watched his press conference and actually felt sorry for him. He tried so hard to convince us that he wanted to be here, but I'm thinking that the experience of being at a Big 10 just doesn't compare to being here.  No offense to us or to him--the Big 10 and FCS are just different worlds.  However, I think he will be great for us and I hope this works out well for his family.
