I think Rick Shepas would be a logical interview first off but if a coach at a school that doesnt offer scholarships has a successful record why wouldnt we be interested? If a coach can get athletes by only offering financial aid , wouldnt you think he can recruit at our level? I think thats where we need to look. However, I dont agree with the notion that we need to stay away from anyone with YSU or Youngstown ties. We need the right hire, no matter where we find him. It should prove interesting

Why does it have to be someone with Youngstown connection? That doesn't qualify them, it limits the pool. My gosh people are you all serious? What assistant coach in Tressel's and YSU's past are that special? Daryl Hazel is the only one I'm impressed with. We are still an upper tier FCS program although we have been slipping and part of the reason is the damned thought process and restrictions that everyone is discussing. We shouldn't limit the selection to Youngstown that is how we got here in the first place.

Last year the former coach recruited 24 high school players. ONly one player was from the Mahoning County. None from Columbiana, none from Trumbull co. The new coach should be rethinking not recruiting this area.
Also, the new coach needs to have 1a experience. Ia experience to take the football program to 1a. YSU's basketball program, has been 1a for sometime. Time to move on.

Tired of people saying "Oh, well maybe if you recruit the Mahoning Valley more...."
People don't realize the talent level in this community has dropped off greatly in the past couple years.
You'll get the few D1 studs like LJ Scott and George Hill who go to the Big10, but other than that....
The talent just isn't as fruitful as it once was.
