I hope Bo wins, and I am supportive. But I agree with the last two posts. Hiring Bo was controversial, the guy needs need anger management support. Then the assistant who bashes gay and lesbians, not smart at a public school in 2015. But nothing awful here.
But Carl Pelini is no good, fired because of drugs, and allegations of partying with students. Surprised President Tressel is going to let this happen. And why do so many here think he is this great coach? What has he done to get this praise.
ScarletRook:
A few thoughts:
I don't think Pres. Tressel is as involved in the football program as many think or hope. I am sure he is aware of all that is going on, but it would not be to the best interest of the program to hire a coach and then run the program from the President's office.
Second, I think Pres. Tressel has his hands full dealing with the problems of the university and the tension between faculty and athletics. This problem is at every university, but it hits YSU hard because of budget and financial justification.
That said, I am not sure that there is a big waiting list of coaches worth their salt trying to join the staff at Youngstown. Right now, the coaching staff is not complete and spring practice is 21 days away. Very difficult situation for a first year coach with high expectations; even more than Wolford started with.
If the program catapults in the right direction, a lot will be forgiven. Unfortunately, we have had years of results to fuel the skepticism.
YSUGO:
Tressel always gave players second chances. I was at an event recently and he was very passionate on where and what his expectations are for the players and program. He wants to be here.
paladin:
You people are sick. Wanting to win is no excuse to turn your head to SERIOUS drug abuse. Carl was a failure as a coach. He is Pelinis brother. Nothing more. And YSU opens itself to scorn and ridicule if Bo hires him and Strollo and tressel look the other way. Schools will use it against us in recruiting. It will be discussed with recruit parents. The community should be up in anger over this. Unlike Bo's anger problems and potty mouth, he has NO RIGHT to bring his drug abusing brother here and coach. Bo doesn't run this place. Even Youngstown must have "some" standards and it's already viewed as an armpit. WAKE UP !
