YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
Decision Time
goodnews:
This isnt a shock to the BOT... Im sure they were hoping for a different outcome but we would be naive to think this issue hasnt already been discussed. Im sure they have received phone calls, emails and visits from the donors and fans who have seen enough... Saturday, Sunday or Monday not sure makes a difference. Keep in-mind this is a local guy and it needs to be done with integrity and respect. This is a damage control situation in my eyes. This will effect alot of people and must be done with some compassion. The fan base has suffered enough....

Given the dire finances here, I would not be surprised to see him stay. Attendance did not help the situation for a buyout. He could well be gone but I suspect money may play an issue. After all, he only has one year remaining with the extension. Interesting.
Mo. St waited till their contract was over before pulling the plug. And as I understand, employee negotiations are still problematic and not solved with serious complaints about athletic dept. spending. Could get ugly.

Im sure you can count on 2 hands and 2 feet who is worth their salary and benefits in the faculty and athletic department combined. Chances are you wont need them all. Lastly, athletics is different in that if you dont perform your gone and should be. Not sure you can say the same about the rest of the blood sucking employees?

From Scalzo:
"As I reported earlier this year, Wolford's buyout is for $150,000 if YSU goes 7-5. But here's the catch: YSU's buyout would be offset by whatever Wolford makes as an assistant coach next season, assuming he doesn't decide to sit out the season. (That strikes me as very unlikely.) Assuming he gets a job as an offensive line coach at a major program — which strikes me as likely — YSU probably won't owe much of anything."
I'm with Scalzo. He has been coaching for 20 straight years. I doubt he would take a year off if he were canned. He shouldn't have that hard of a time finding a BCS level assistant job.
Also, faculty votes tomorrow on their contract. If you haven't noticed, many faculty unions love to target athletics as wasteful spending. Yet when people say anything negative about their deals, you are harshly criticized. Tenure ring a bell?
paladin:
Heacock took the year off after they canned him and they had to pay all of his contract. Dicey situation and I expect money is going to be seriously discussed. Do not think anyone here knows the true financial shape they are in. As I said, interesting
