Several sources claim former Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini is close to signing deal to become next Youngstown State coach. 1 source denies.

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) (2008present)
2008 Eastern Kentucky 84 71 1st L NCAA Division I First Round 19
2009 Eastern Kentucky 56 53 T2nd
2010 Eastern Kentucky 65 52 T-2nd
2011 Eastern Kentucky 75 62 T-1st L NCAA Division I First Round
2012 Eastern Kentucky 83 62 T-2nd 19
2013 Eastern Kentucky 66 44 T-5th
2014 Eastern Kentucky 94 62 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.
