what does that say about YSU since we can't even get into the play-offs

It tells us that we let the wrong coach go 3 years ago.

UNC Charlotte would disagree  :o

 lol  1 year in a program that was ready to fire it's coach. I said he was a good coach, not a miracle-worker.

Haha I don't really care how many times he gets fired I just knew you'd have to run to his aid, I couldn't help myself.

Montgomery was not fired fron UNC-C. He left for JMU and the head coach (of UNC-C) was fired. Coach M was not fired from YSU either. No need to run to his aide, just upset that we let him walk away and have a bunch of HS coaches in charge. Meanwhile a consistent top team in the nation goes after coach M and gets him.

#1 in scoring
#2 in 3rd-downs
#10 rushing offense
#3 in passing efficiency
#6 red zone offense
#8 in time-of-possession
#3 in total yards regular season (almost 6,000)
#7 total offense

All of this helps equal #2 winning percentage.

  Coach M can coach, our offenses under Kurt Hess were dynamic.  It was the defense that was lousy.  Major downgrade from Coach M to Brian Crist.

 Pelini made it known he wanted a change, Coach M didn't want to leave, he was given little choice.

If he was so good, then why didn't we have a dominant offensive line.  He may have been a good play caller, but he was not a great recuiter, and recruiting is >70% of the equation for success.

We had quality O-lines during coach M's tenure, with depth. Along with awesome backs & TE's. Now we had a bit less depth at WR, but they seemed a bit taller (to me). Besides we have far too many receivers under Bo.

JMU has better coaches.  They recruit better and therefore are better.  Period end of story!
