Came from program with few off the field issues
Positive relationship with other coaches formerly worked with
Tells players upfront what to expect on and off the field and sticks to it
Private
History of discipline
Likeablility from fans
Relatability to college students
Probably missed more but just responding to ScarletRook.

This is my favorite part and it is already wrong!
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

LOL

Lets_Talk:
To quote Lee Corso, "not so fast my friend".

Yes, things look rosy now. Things also looked rosy last year when YSU was 8-1.
Things looked rosy in 2012 after YSU beat NDSU on the road, and only needed to beat last place Missouri State at home to make the playoffs.

I'm NOT saying YSU is going to go 1-3 or 0-4 in the final 4 games. At the same time, there is no guarantee this will not happen. As fo today, the final 3 games this year are more difficult than the final 3 games of last year. 2 of the games are on the road to teams that are undefeated and have played all full scholarship schools. The 3rd is at home against Indy State(5-3/2-2), which won at FBS Ball State and also has wins over Liberty(5-3), UNI(4-4) and at SIU(5-4). Their losses are at Indiana, at NDSU and at ISU, and they did not play any partial or non scholarship teams.

Also, if YSU were to finish 8-4 or better, make the playoffs and win 1-2 games in the playoffs, there might be some FBS teams interested in hiring Wolford. I'm not sure Wolford is the type to turn done more money and an opportunity to be a HC of an FBS school, even if it means going to a place with little likelihood of success. There will be multiple non power 5 schools looking for new HC's in the off-season. Wolford would have a winning record at YSU, and back-to-back seasons of 8 or more wins, plus a trip to the playoffs. FBS schools have offered or hired FCS coaches with similar or less success than Wolford would have at YSU if the team gets to the playoffs this year, whether or not they win a playoff game.

David Bailiff was hired by Rice after the 2006 season. He was HC at Texas State(then an FCS program) and had a 3 year record of 21-15.... 5-6, 11-3(FCS semi-finals), 5-6

Pete Lembo was 35-22 at Elon from 06-10, with 1 trip to FCS playoffs in 2009. His final season at Elon, the team went 6-5. He was then hired to be the HC at Ball State.... Lembo did go 44-14 in 5 seasons(01-05) at Lehigh prior to Elon, with playoff appearances in 01 and 04

Chris Creighton went 42-22 in 6 years(08-13) at Drake(Pioneer League) and was hired by Eastern Michigan as HC for the 2014 season.

Trent Miles was 20-36 in 5 years at Indy State(08-12)... He was hired by new FBS program Georgia State after the 2012 season

Todd Berry went 24-24 in 2 years at ISU(96-99), with trips to the playoffs in each of his final 2 seasons... ISU was 3-8 and 2-9 in his first 2 seasons... He was hired by Army for the 2000 season, went 5-35 in 4 years and was fired. He is now HC at Louisiana Monroe, and has a record of 26-30(2010-present)

Ron Carragher was 44-22 in 6 years at San Diego(Pioneer League), and then hired in 2013 by San Jose State

So, what started as a thread based on Wolford being fired at the end of the season, may well end up being a thread for Wolford's replacement when he bolts YSU if able to get the team to the playoffs this season. And, YSU finishing 7-5 is still a realistic possibility, though I hope they finish with 8-10 regular season wins and make the playoffs.

Rich Ellerson went 56-34 in 8 seasons at Cal-Poly(01-08), then was hired by Army in 2009, and fired after the 2011 season with a 3 year record of 20-41
