Could Bo Pelini be coming to YSU?

I know, it sounds like a long shot. But this guy says money not an issue, getting paid from Nebraska. He and his wife are from the Mahoning Valley, and if he got YSU rolling again it would open the door to another FBS job in a few years. He also said Bo wants to be a head coach, and an FBS job not likely next year.
This guy says Strollo, working with President Tressel have put all their focus on Pelini, and are working with community leaders to get it done. He did add that it is probably 50/50 at best that he takes the YSU job, but if Pelini is even considering it, that would be a huge get for Strollo and YSU.
Whether you like Pelini or not, and it is debatable whether he did a good job at Nebraska, this kind of hire
would give our program a huge boost, at least in my opinion.

No offense, I cannot and do not believe this. Sure, I hope I am wrong, but this is the equivalent of the Nebraska fans last week claiming from multiple sources that Tressel was their next head coach!

Another Valley guy ? ;D
First, he is an A..hole. Second.. he couldn't get it done as a coach. And third, he projects poorly with a foul mouth. Yep, another Youngstown guy.
No wonder YSU is 3rd rate.

Wow, this from Football Scoop. Looks like this is getting some traction.

Here is the big question: what now is Pelini's goal for the remainder of his career? Would he be content to be a defensive coordinator at a big time school and earn a very good salary? Or does he have a burning desire to become a head coach again at a big time program? If it is the latter, accepting a head coaching position at a lower level and winning big is a good career move. Especially since Nebraska would apparently be paying for it for several years. That could convince athletic directors at big time schools that he is capable after all and that Nebraska was an aberration. Right now I doubt that, after Nebraska, he could get a head coaching position at any place higher than a non-big time FBS school.
