FOOTBALLFEVER:
Vince would be a great hire
guinpen:
A bit off topic but I cannot imagine there would be any interest in hiring a coach from Mount Union. Not knocking Vince but that is just too big of a step. More so I think Vince would be crazy to try for a job at YSU or any other college at our level or higher. He has it made where he is. Nothing wrong with being a big fish in a small pond.
Sad to see the season come to an end, not the season I hoped for but I enjoy YSU football no matter what.

UT Chattanooga hired John Carrols HC a few years ago, that was a d3 to d1 hire, Same thing with university of buffalo a MAC school that hired Wisconsin Whitewaters head coach in 2014. D3 to D1
It’s not exactly unprecedented.

Not to knock the guy but he inherited an already perennial power from his father. He built nothing. We're also talking D3...

I will admit that I'm super biased, I'm both a Mount Union and YSU alum. Yes, he did inherit a perennial power, he's not his dad, but I believe their coaching philosophy works anywhere.
I wouldn't advocate any D3 guy for YSU, but Mount Union is much closer to a low level FCS team than your average D3 team. and I don't think anyone would really bat an eye if a highly succesful pioneer league coach interview for the YSU job.
For example look at their recruiting footprint. We've had a lot of complaints about BO being too in love with local guys. Well Mount Union recruits nationally, with an even higher percentage of out of state guys than we do:
