The new coach: what credentials would you like to see?
Wick250:
Last evening marked the end of Eric Wolford's attempt to be a head coach at the collegiate level. We won't win more than two more games and the poor record, coupled with low attendance for the remaining home games, will force Tressel to enact the buyout clause. And making a major sports-related move is something that I am sure that Tressel hoped to avoid for a least a few years.
So in what direction do we turn? Would it not be best to hire a successful head coach from the ranks of the lower scholarship divisions? No more on-the-job training that might never succeed. And Wolford is the poster boy for that. Hire someone who can utilize the Watts and the high assistant coach salaries to our advantage. Also something at which Wolford failed miserably.
The national media loves to trash Tressel, but he is nearly universally respected within the coaching profession. I have confidence that he will use his network to secure a replacement who can take full advantage of our many strengths. Who better to find the "next Tressel" that the original Tressel.

We need a defensive minded coach who understands how to recruit and develop players at this level. The defense under this clown has been nothing short of laughable. He talks so much about how we need to have FBS caliber players to win in this league but yet we have players who wouldn't start at some high school programs. We also need someone who can put together a staff and have consistency. Three DC's in Wolford's tenure and Montgomery as OC who coaches the 2nd half like he has a 5 TD lead. This season is lost and I don't see us winning another game on this schedule outside of MAYBE South Dakota.
Spiderlegs:
How about Mark Mangino?
DoubleE:
He needs to be a good recruiter and preferably a power run, emphasis on both offensive and defensive line type coach
YSURON:
I agree it should be Bear Mangino
