LUKE FICKEL LEADING CANDIDATE AT YSU

(1/8) > >>

YSUFANSINCE1990:
 Jim Tressel can be very persuasive.  He could convince Fickel that YSU is a much better place to jump start his head coaching career than the MAC.  Better facilities and more opportunity to succeed.  Also, Fickel would have the comfort of knowing Tressel has his back.

 Also Fickel may tired of always feeling Urban Meyer is going to bring in his own guy to run the defense.  YSU football needs a big shot on the arm, let's face it the other names being mentioned don't do much for more.  I think Brian Wright would be an awful hire, no personality from what I remember when he was here before.  Also, his career nothing spectacular. We need a star, Fickel is a brand name from one of the top programs in the country.

 Issues would be a huge pay cut, and one story I read is that his wife loves Columbus.  But for some, power is more important than money.

 Regardless, we need a 'wow factor'.

Observer:
Better career chance at YSU than the MAC?  Tell that to Darrell Hazell, or Dean Pees, or etc.  If Luke Fickell comes here based on that train of logic, look for more of the same.

ysufan0505:
The only thing I don't understand, yes he would be a head coach... But taking a 400k pay cut? Not so sure that would be alright with him... A lot of the buckeye posters on eleven warriors think he's leaving and that DJ Durkin or Muschamp would come coach defense at OSU. Interesting....

paladin:
Laughable

penguinpower:
This thread is going to look really stupid if this is untrue.   This is speculation and the thread should read "what if" Luke ...
