Assistant Coaches

ScarletRook:
The fact is - Bo Pelini is now the coach; love him or hate him, but at least support the team.

I wish some faculty came under the same scrutiny as the coaches,as they influence more students than just the athletes, but that is for another forum.

GO GUINS!

YSUGO:
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah, its about wins, filling the stands and running a clean program.  I don't care what happened in the past.  I don't care what people's views are and I am not going to judge a Football coach on if he likes Miller beer or Jack Daniels whiskey!  I will judge on wins and losses and getting to the playoffs.  If he is an atheist or gas a potty mouth who cares he is a freakin football coach. Let him coach the guy has won games and I think he will win here.  I could careless if he isn't a supporter of the rainbow coalition!  lol

Observer:
This is new.  A team, school, area so desperate for wins that it would be willing to gamble its very identity for it.  The gamble?  Bo, Ron and Carl are perfect, hard working football coaches that turn YSU around and restore its Northeast Ohio greatness back to 1991 levels (because lets face it, being nationally or even regionally known isn't in the cards, especially with the big 5 now).   OR, Bobo, Ronnie and Carlsbad form their own version of the 3 athletic stooges, and a nationwide I told you so reverberates all the way up to the president's office. 

Point A, there aren't many schools that would do this, ie schools clamoring for the services of some of Bo Pelini's new and prospective staff.  They still realize that their perception of an academic institution is, in the long run, Ultimately is more important than wins (if your not power 5), and that these hires would bring that perception into question.  Which further begs the question what is the YSU administration's view of themselves?  This is an awfully desperate move to feel you have to take.  Most schools will, and have settled for football mediocrity rather than desperation.  Also, questions are raised as to just how many people are wiling to work for Bo, and how many people Bo feels he can actually trust, both are potentially dangerous answers.

Point B, IF Carl does come aboard, with the drug issues that YSU's football team has had (or any football team for the sake of fairness)  How seriously would his players take his pleas to be smart, do the right thing, make good decisions...Not a very good example.  But then again...desperation has no time for examples.

Point C, the most amazing thing about this possible decision (minus the interesting ones already made).  The cons FAR outweigh the pros.  Win the gamble..and YSU is now talked about, semi-regionally, with the likes of Mount Union; play Kent, Akron and probably win (who really cares).  Get it wrong, and ESPN is on the doorstep with every on location anchor they can scrum up, including a now "disappointed" Jaworski, the NCAA blah blah blah.   More pock marks for a pocked marked area.  More curious, even with the pros (multiple national championships) you still have an athletic department that will never be solvent (the economic facts say this), to make semi-regional success happen?...

Point D, "Rainbow Coalition? lol"....what a limited scope,  But desperation is usually hyper focused.

I wonder how many universities will stop changing paint schemes on the titanic and get to the business of dropping this blood sucking, predatory, bar-lowering sport and let basketball and olympic sports be the "marketing department" and "investment" of the institution.  And leave the hopes of profiting off of sports to those institutions that actually have the capital and alumni to make it happen.   

In reality there was no right hire for this job, now or in the future, unless YSU begs, borrows, and steals its way into DI, increases athletic spending by 85 million a year, and hopes the big 5 will play Tattaglia to it's Solozzo.

ysufan0505:
Lol, you people are unreal.

IAA Fan:
People like to hear themselves talk. You either like the idea of a Carl Pelini hire, or not. Reasons are pretty obvious either way. What do people think of other coaches ...ones that we know we already have?
