All I can go by is 1AA claiming that Pelini is here, and his contract extended 100% by Strollo and JT had NOTHING to do with it. If Strollo didn't know Pelini was as a$$ after his first several years and before offering an extension, it's a lot on Strollo too. Time to clean house IMO!

I fully believe that Strollo was much more involved in the coach P hiring than most think. However, as with any HC, He will have to answer up to the administration. That is more than JT. So if we really wish to "clean house" we would be dumping a few administrators.
I think he will ride this season out, let Bo talk directly to the fans, players and administration. Try to present his ideas to demonstrate that he is aware of any issues and how he is going to deal with them.

This is Bo Pelini you're talking about, isn't it? Bo is going to talk directly to fans? Seriously. Bo Pelini? He's too good for all that schmoozing crap, just ask him, he'll brush you off in a heartbeat!
IAA Fan:
I remember when coach Heacock (who was more than aware of the Youngstown fan base and preferred smash-mouth style of ball) told Strollo that he had to covert the style of offense to more of a spread. He used the play-off loss to App State and Strollo (who was against the style change initially) agreed to let him try & renewed the contract. We then had all of those injuries during the conversion. Coach H simply told Strollo that he needed another year & that if he could not get to the post-season ... he would resign. Heacock was a man of his word & he resigned after the 4th loss. Coach Wolf was hired and at Heacock's last home game Wolf was watching from the loges/press box.
I would suspect something similarly respectful when Bo leaves. If it is Carl as the replacement, then I would expect Bo to stick around for a year to help out before he retires. Now if Bo picks up a bigger job, all bets are off. Carl may go with him.

I do not think any schools will be knocking on Bo's door

Yeah, it's a damn line around the block! College football is all about recruiting. Bo cam here and stayed here because he hates recruiting and thought his name would get the second tier players without effort. When that didn't work, he hired young, enthusiastic guys like Crist and D'Alesio to do the work for him. That obviously has been a full blown disaster. Maybe Bo could get a job if he wanted it as a coordinator with no recruiting, or press, or speaking responsibility, but that's it. I don't know Bo at all, and so this is obviously idle speculation, but he has TONS of money, and might like and do well and enjoy being defensive coordinator at Mooney?
YSU1:
I listened to the Oct 22nd weekly press conference and what Bo is saying is that coaching, game preparation and in game adjustments are flawless but the players are not executing or making too many mistakes. It is nice to know that coaching is not the issue. ;D
