Wolf Officially Gone
coachtress:
I understand the current players' disappointment. But, five years no playoffs, 1,000 people in the stands. Really, the university had no choice. I was a huge fan of Wolford, still remember watching that Pitt game on espn3 on my phone while working bingo concessions at my son's high school two years ago. Was a huge win.
But in the end, a time for a change. And best wishes to Eric Wolford.
IAA Fan:
Nation: I do not want this thread to deteriorate into a thread on a coach that left 5-years ago. Our opinions on that matter are always going to be quite different. My point is this:
Wolf changed the face of YSU football, that is because he changed the "style" of football we (for decades prior to his arrival) played. Heacock maintained the style of ball that two of his predecessors ran. He looked to change the offense his last two years. It was this change, combined with it's lack of success that you bring up and thus cost coach H his job. So, my point is ...who really "destroyed" the program? Unless our next coach plans on maintaining status quot ...the answer has to be coach Wolf.
I propose that we go to the thread (or do it here) on the next coach and add commentary on the TYPE of football you would like to see played at YSU ...and this is what is going to fill up the stands and empty the tailgate lots come kick-off. Hard-nosed football is a part of what defines this Valley and I guarantee you that this fact is not news to Strollo and Tressel.

Joe brings up a great point, and I can see why the players are not happy, even if they were not the biggest fans of Wolf.
