Its sad to say but this a behavior.  There are countless games in the last 4 years that have torn the hearts out of the fans and the program as a whole.  How or why should any of us think this is going to get better.....?  Many of the LBs and Secondary have been with the program for 2 or more years with ZERO improvement.... THE GLARING weakness when you step back and look can be nothing other than COACHING.......

Ok, Gameday was not coming to Youngstown. Had they been considering Youngstown they would have called the school and scheduled a site visit and that never happened.  The Gameday guys just said that Youngstown was front and center to be nice, it wasn't happening.  We don't deserve Gameday, whether we beat UNI or not it was still a huge game and we couldn't even sell out, it's embarrassing.

With Wolford failing to improve the defense in the 4 years as head coach and with us missing the playoffs for his 4th straight season tmrw,  Who do we hire as the new head coach ?  Carl Pelini ? Mark Mangino ? Who ?

You are correct about the defense, the last couple of weeks it has been handled. Now we played some good teams, but that just goes to show how far we are from where we want to be. Why are we unable to get some stud D players?

Team did not look ready to play today, talking mental and x's and o's. SDSU was the better team, better prepared, wanted it more then we did.

Blame goes to the coaching staff and Wolf is the man.

Eric Wolford is going to be the coach. Because his contract has 1 more year and YSU is not gonna buy him out. No way. Sorry folks

Gameday would have been here. Not 0%, but more likely than not, had we beat UNI. Chris Fowler even mentioned it on the air.

In regards to the topic at hand... Eric Wolford will be head coach.

It would not surprise me if Wolford steps down as coach especially if we do not get a bid to the playoffs.

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread about hiring Rick Shepas.  That is an intriguing notion to me.  He has had some recent success at the D3 level and is certainly a YSU guy.  Also, he probably would come to Y-Town at a rather inexpensive price.  He sure was one heck of a HS coach.  He turned Poland and Seneca Valley around and into winners in a very short amount of time.  Thoughts from others?  I am not saying that he definitely should be the guy but, he is the type of guy that Strollo might want to talk to.

No way on the Shepa hire, Mangino will be the next head coach.

Totally agree Magino will be our next Head Coach. 

Best of luck to Woffard future if its a MAC head coach or back to South Carolina as an assistant.  Oh by the way you should have listened to your former boss when he told you you weren't ready to be a Head Coach.

Why the quick dismissal of shepas. He would jump at the chance. Certainly knows what is expected around here from his playing days. Mangino? Another good choice, but will come with a much greater cost. Anyway, all this is just wishful thinking. No way is Strollo going to buy out Wolford's contract and throw more money on a new coach.

I sure hope it isn't Mangino.  This guy hasn't gotten a sniff for a HC job since 2009.  Damaged goods.  I'd rather take a shot with a young guy from a lower division or a coordinator from a top program.

Does anyone know what the feelings are of the coach from the people that matter?  Administration and DONORS (specifically)?  In his post-game press conference seemed like a guy trying to keep his job.... ?  Speaking ONLY of the highlights in the last 4 years and how his players are great stewards of the community and excelling in the classroom...

Not so fast my friend. Some donors are lining up at the door.
