You do understand YSU hasn't made the playoffs since 2006 and that was the only time it's happened since 2000, right?

I'll have to agree with this.  This is how I look at it.  He was a DC at Wake Forest.  Wake Forest is a low tier ACC team.  Basketball school.  Had some good years there but obviously didn't excel or impress people that he would move up to a bigger DC job.  Takes a small time FCS job at Eastern Kentucky and is I'd say average.  2 OVC titles and a few playoff appearances.  His record does not impress me at all.  It's like looking at the YSU record over the past 10 years:


Year   Team   Overall   Conference   Standing   Bowl/playoffs   TSN[4]#
Eastern Kentucky Colonels (Ohio Valley Conference) (2008–present)
2008   Eastern Kentucky   8–4   7–1   1st   L NCAA Division I First Round   19
2009   Eastern Kentucky   5–6   5–3   T–2nd      
2010   Eastern Kentucky   6–5   5–2   T-2nd      
2011   Eastern Kentucky   7–5   6–2   T-1st   L NCAA Division I First Round   
2012   Eastern Kentucky   8–3   6–2   T-2nd      19
2013   Eastern Kentucky   6–6   4–4   T-5th      
2014   Eastern Kentucky   9–4   6–2   2nd   L NCAA Division I First Round   14

I do, but besides a pay increase and coaching in the best conference in FCS.... He's still coaching in the FCS! He had a good run at Wake Forest as DC, congrats. I heard he has a job offer from Vandy to be their DC. Why wouldn't he take that job? I just feel like Tressel and Strollo really need to make a big splash. Not saying Pelini, but a bigger than than Dean Hood, sorry.

Penguin Nation:
Just curious.  Why would we fire an MVFC HC w/ a record of 54.4% career wins for an OVC HC with a record of 59.8% wins?  Actually, Wolford's win % is HIGHER than Hood's the last two seasons.

This is a downgrade if true....and worthy of the contempt of the 1,000 or so YSU fans that are left.
