Good source. Curt Mallory likely next head coach.

You can’t judge any coach by their first season. curt Mallory, who many on this board think is a decent candidate was also winless in his first season at Indiana State.
And Arth, Akron’s head coach came from UT Chattanooga, a d-1 school... yes he was at a d3 John Carroll before that, but kind of a stretch to call him a “lower level” coach.
My point is we should be more open to potential candidates... not less. There’s ZERO reason to not include coaches from lower divisions.
Kandrase:
But anyway... I think Mallory would be a great choice, Indiana State has been just as good as YSU over the past few years despite having far fewer resources, facilities etc. I like the idea of having someone who already understands FCS football and especially the MVFC, I don’t think Bo was quite prepared for how challenging the MVFC is...
YSUGO:
Don’t see nothing special here if Mallory. He had one good year and he beat us big deal. They lost do Dayton last year and if anything the season was mediocre and mirrored ours. Beat the real bad teams and had offensive struggles at times. But if him I will give him a chance. Don’t know his recruiting style etc. But I think he likes to run the ball.
Wick250:
Go,
Mallory lost his quarterback in the first or second game and that tanked his season as he had no capable replacement. It would be better to judge him on 2018. He is interesting to me because Indiana State might be one of the very worst jobs in FCS. If he came here, he would be able to secure better players and many more of them.
There is no "slam dunk" choice. Everybody is a gamble. Tressel's legacy (the athletic part) is on the line with this selection. And he knows it.
