YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
Next coach
Wick250:
This certainly is a dilemma. Do we hire a young assistant who demonstrates great promise but might have to experience growing pains? Or do we hire a retread who might win over half the games but then leave for a more lucrative job at the earliest opportunity? I am torn but also realize that quick fixes do not always work very well in any occupation.
gbs20:
Whats the expectation for the program? As is? Be in middle of pack in HOrizon and occassionally compete for championship? Be competitive for championship most years? How that question is answered determines how much is spent on a coach and who is gone after.
Second, who are the comparables to YSU---FCS regional state universivties in low mid major basketball conferences. HOw much do competitive basketball programs spend compared to YSU? Is YSU about the same? Above or significantly below them?
These are rhetorical questions mostly, but presumably the powers that be are asking them as they go forward. The answers should define the search not wish lists of coaches.

SDSU and NDSU are obviously very competitive in FCS football. They both have been to the NCAA tournament 3 times in the last decade. Summit league is probably just about on par with the horizon league now. There is absolutely no reason YSU can't have a competitive basketball program with a chance to get into the tournament. This year was the first time we've even been in the conference tournament semi finals in awhile! It is mind blowing to me. You watch all these cinderella teams everywhere make the tournament. We can't sniff it...
jbags:
Derrick Kellog let go at UMass...players highly upset...we better jump on him immediately to gauge his intetest...his record and recruiting ability doesn't seem to warrant his dismissal...somebody will get a good young coach...why not us?

I do not expect to win the league every year but now and then would be great. the league is not what it used to be, which is good for us. With our schedule I expect 20 plus wins
