The next YSU Head Football Coach
YSUGO:
Hannon brought up a few names. Montgomery is interested. Michael Zordich. The coach from Indiana St. Vince Marrow, Michael Stoops. I will throw out a name is Michael Mangino too old to be a serious candidate. Somehow I feel it will be none of those.

This is still a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, talented young coach. The Watts, a big time weight room (not my opinion...ask the 49er's,) excellent (and compliant) media coverage, enough regional talent (not like the old days but still sufficient.) And the precedent to go directly to OSU from here. Great place for a rising coach to give us 3-4 years of winning and reach the big time.

I think we also need a coach with a little bit of an ego. If I was looking at a coaching job that was could be leveraged into a multimillion dollar payout, YSU would not be at the tip of my list. Most coaches get one chance as a HC before they are branded as a perpetual assistant. The reasons why I would not take the job have to do with 2-things:
1. We dont pay well enough to hire a competent staff that has elite recruiting and are great D1 coaches.
2. We play in the MVFC and the elephant in the room is that you need to recruit 85 elite D1 athletes with 63 scholarships. The reason is that is the only way to make it through the conference with enough healthy players to make the playoffs and then make a run. NDSU is doing this and they are winning for a reason.
Finally, we are in the most competitive conference at any level of football in the country. The conference loaded with great coaching. If you piece all of that together, it tells me that we need a person that is a great coach that can build and execute a strategy with less, and has the ego to believe he can win under those constraints. Lift one of the constraints and the pool widens.

I would consider recruiting the offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator at North Dakota State. NDSU has had perpetual, uninterrupted success by promoting internally. The result would be a coach with significant winning experience who would bring the NDSU culture to Youngstown.
Did not STROLLO utilize this approach when he recruited Coach BARNES from Green Bay?

He makes 200,000 at ISU so we certainly could afford him. But, as critical as this fan base seems to be, he is coming off a losing record.

This is exactly why some of us have been harping about the bloated number of athletic administrators and the poor pay for our coaches. I'm afraid you are about to see the concrete ramifications of this misguided policy.

Hey guys wanting FBS assistants. I hear the LSU DC was getting 2,500,000 and the new guy is getting more. We are completely out of the game.
