YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
Decision Time
SoupCity:
A lot of you keep claiming that he's (Wolford) gotten better in his tenure. Where? Doing what? I'm sorry, but he hasn't gotten any better, his teams have not gotten better. They continually get worse as the season goes on. In each of the last 3 years (2 November's/1 October), where they literally laid eggs in games that could have allowed this program to jump up in stature. And get him that NEEDED signature win for this fanbase to rally around him and the team. Remember, he's been here for 5 YEARS. Same lack of preparation, same lack of adjusting during a game, same blame game playing after every loss, same horrible clock management, etc, etc.
HE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED!!!
Penguin Nation:
If YSU could not afford to buy-out Wolford's last year of his contract, than that clause never should have been entered in the contract. You never enter a contract that you cannot fulfill, and if that is what YSU did, than every contract of every type is suspect.
I like Wolford. He has had impressive wins in Fargo against the eventual national champs, Pitt, UNI, and this year...SDSU on the road. His record, except for this year in a highly upgraded MVFC, has improved every year. It is not his fault that YSU is in the SEC of the FCS, and I assure you that YSU would have a better record in the CAA or OVC...or even MAC. A playoff worthy record. And yes, in 2013 the 8-4 Penguins were ranked higher in the SRS than Samford, and were totally screwed by the playoff committee.
However.....the expectation is playoffs and even championships at YSU. IMO, that is a non-negotiable condition of employment.
My concern is that the same person who extended Heacock's contract, hired the Wolf, Hill, and Martin.....will have a hand in picking the new HC. I am somewhat reassured that JT may be involved....but as I mentioned in other posts, a full overhaul of the athletic department is in order. Mediocrity is for the Kents and Akrons of the world.
ysufan0505:
Funny how some people talk about moving up to the MAC, or other conferences and doing this.. We can't even afford to buy out our HC so he can pack his bags. That's how bad the financial situation is currently at YSU.
Wick250:
Jim Tressel raised $300,000 in private money in a week to hire a student recruitment firm. Finding the money to buy out Wolford is not a problem. Looking at this bad situation objectively and without emotion, I come up with two questions:
First, can the university expect to sell tickets to casual fans and even disgruntled loyal fans next season if Wolford is retained? No.
Second, can the football program afford to allow an obvious lame duck coach to recruit one more class and coach one more season? No.

LOL !
I gave up buying Penguin Club tickets because of Strollo. Not Wolf. The problems here are far greater than the FB coach. But, not to defend Wolf, but I get the impression people think firing Wolf will get a good program here next year with a new coach. ;D
I'll share more later after they decide what they are going to do.
BTW, how much did they raise to buyout Heacock who sat on his butt for a year on their $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ? ;D
