This is why we need to play these schools in their house and establish ourselves as the #1 NEO D1 FB program. The MAC East is always ranked lower than the MVFC....and Can't and Akron are the worst of the MAC East. Let's dominate G5/FCS recruiting in NEO....and have some fun while we're at it.
What if we (God forbid) lose? Then we get a payday and otherwise are in exactly the saem position we were in anyway. No lose situation.
Penguin Nation:
Nick Saban was HC at UT....it only makes sense that JH would too :D
YSU1:
Why is it we lose players to Akron and Kent. No one goes to their games. No tradition. No Bowl game until this year for Akron. What is the draw.

I'd say that JH had the same resources as JT, but the truth is JH had more....much more. JH was handed a playoff caliber team...built and ready....all that was required was maintaining it. JT had to build the program when he took over.

Untrue in every respect. Duzzer was a much better HC than Tressel at that time and had great players. It is simply a matter of style. Tressel could not do squat in the OVC, which is why we went independent. Tressel then became an option offense, built up his coaching skills and moved on, leaving JH with little in terms of assistants.
YSUFANSINCE1990:
John Heacock is your classic great assistant and coordinator, bad head coach. He is a follower, not a leader. Never comfortable dealing with all the other parts of being a head coach; media, fans, boosters, public appearances, speaking and so on. But is very good in a dark room looking at video and putting together a great defensive game plan. Not a criticism, just a fact.
As for why players go to MAC schools over YSU, it is Division 1 FBS, you get to play on national TV, the MAC has a weeknight ESPN package, you get to play in bowl games. As for attendance, we don't draw much better, and we played two road games this year with less than 250 people.
