I'm still laughing ............................ I told all when Bo was hired that this would be a comedy. Game on the line and Bo throws one of his famous tantrums getting multiple penalties. You ain't seen nothing yet ! ;D
-
Paladin was right, it turned into a circus. I am not surprised though that is who Bo is typical Youngstown hot head. It will continue to cost us games and I don't see it changing.
-
I can't wait to listen to Penguin Playbook radio show tonight. I think Bo should apologize to his team and to the public on the broadcast, but more then likely that will never happen. Strollo knew full well of the risks involved when he hired Bo
-
BTW, the playoffs are gone for this year. But even bigger, YSU is staring a losing season in the face this week-end if they lose. Will Bo have them ready ? Or is there another Bo tantrum on the horizon ? 8)

There were times I wanted to leave the stands, and go onto the sidelines and check Heacock's pulse. He was a sweet teddy bear, and how did that work out?
I've never seen BP yell at players, other coaches, fans, vendors, students. Nope. Just officials...and only when they made bad calls. If he was a raving, out of control lunatic, then how could he so effectively direct his anger? (yes, I've heard the NE stories).
I sat behind a home bench at a WBB game when Bolden was HC, and that dude went off on his players, but not to anyone else. Is that better?
Much of this is being pumped up by those who hate YSU anyway, and anyone who has accomplished anything in life has pissed people off and made enemies. This is a nonstory.
The government has devalued the currency through qualitative easing, and thereby ripping everybody off who is reading this. Yet, we focus on some FB coach yelling. FUBAR.

I believed the same thing for 6 1/2 years before the hard truth about what Pelini's personality was doing to the team smacked me upside the head.
You go on believing that, hopefully it doesn't take you 6 1/2 years to realize your coach will cut off his nose to spite his face over and over and over and over.

I commented as a fan of the MVFC. I already said he's a good coach but his people skills suck. If you like having that kind of person yelling at referees saying "You F*&KING Coward" represent your school knock yoruself out. Kind of screams hypocrite when all we tell these young men about how they have to act and stay out of trouble to be on college football teams yet you allow a head coach to act like that.
If you don't care then you are either an idiot, a hypocrite or both.

Coaches yell. This is way overblown. It's interesting that you'd spend time disrespecting myself and our coach. It's pathetic that you have the time to troll about this on a visitor's board. Not much else to do in ma's basement?
-
Yeah the kind of amateur childish reply I'd expect of you. Hope you enjoy your coach and all the fame he brings your favorite college.
-
All things being equal, you would probably not take Bo; but things are NOT even close to equal. Just as I feel that Montgomery has no equal at this level, neither does Bo.
So Look. As along as he wants to stay, I am okay with it. Could have done without Carl ...but we all knew that he was coming as well ...when he appointed Stoops as DC. We will never see Bo's caliber of a coach any other way but to take the good with the bad and as long as Nebraka is willing to pay him ...I am happy. There are just too many upsides to look at it any other way. If you need an example, just look at Sadurday's recruiting day ...it was quite impressive and I heard that we had kids show that were way above expectations. Did any of you WPA guys you see all of those kids from the greater Allegheny area? It may be hard for many to believe, but we do have both Stoops brothers coaching here & that would be impressive for a Big-10 or Big-12 school.
Also, Nation, Pelini has made comments to players ...I sit very close & heard every word. The woman behind me yelled at Bo to remember that that is someone's son. It was very bad that one time & acceptable (to me anyway) the second time. The second time he isolated the player ...the first time it was toward a player sitting on a crowded bench ...then Bo backtracked and pretended that he was talking to the whole bench.

Ok honest question here. I mean, please throw away everything we (ysu/ndsu fans) have been arguing about since saturday. Why is there so much hatred for YSU from you guys and uni fans? Was it something one of our fans said on ags years ago? I really, honestly, genuinely dont get it. I mean ok, next team we play we bash and talk trash and whatever. But what is the purpose coming back to our board to post? Ok so the PI call was legit. Is bisonville not the appropriate place to talk about us. Its our board for our fans to argue and debate. So what is your obsession that brings you guys here? Just like the whole fan thing. Dear god let that die already. Even our fans. Stop posting on ags already about our fans. IT IS WHAT IT IS!!! Bison fans love the bison. Our fans could care less less about ysu. Let it die. Whats next? Why do you care so passionately about our coach and why we dont have fans etc. Seriously, what gives? Or do you do this with every team?

I took them down because it slows the board down. Somehow my filter was removed. Links are not quite as bad though.
-
Again you have to love Bo for his passion. i don't have a problem with his coaching style. It's old school and he wants kids to be accountable. Let the coaches do their job and if parents or whatever don't want to hear whatever move your seat. As for the anti- Bo stuff who cares.
-
Here is the way I feel about it. I think he freaking crazy and I don't mind it as long as he craziness doesn't cost us a chance at winning a game. Woody Hays type of crazy.

Funny!

Who cares. Ron Moschella used to scream and throw stuff when I played high school basketball. He is one of the winningest girls basketball coach in Ohio. The refs were awful and frankly I'd be pissed as f too.
-
Penguin Playbook was very odd tonight. Bob did his job and ask the questions but Bo didn't want to get into it and he has that right. Bob did say that the M.V.C. league office confirmed it was pass interference.. On to Indiana St.

I was listening when Bob tried asking about the refs, something Bob had to do. But Bo gave the correct answer, did not want to talk about it. Smart move, no matter what he would have said someone could and would have picked it apart.
-
Bo genuinely cares about his players, just as Moschella does. Great teachers, but Bo cost YSU a chance in this game. Plain and simple. 1 TO left with a couple good throws, could have given Kennedy a chance....
-
MVFC reprimand Bo..Details remain a secret
-
I have no problem with the first one, as we had already used our objection on the out of bounds call, which was an even worse call. The idea of having replay one week and then not another is bad. It is bad enough that we have replay in the first place, but it must be consistent.
Bo's second and 3rd comments were clearly taunting the ref. He will hear about it from the conference and Strollo ...enough said. It is game week
-
This is not to dog on Wolford, I have nothing but good will towards him and his endeavors, but if we are complaining about pelini yelling at players, what about the fact that Wolford would get hoarse from yelling at the players?
I get wolford never yelled at the refs like Bo did. But Im just saying.
-
I told you this coaching gig was going to be a comedy. But here is where it WON'T be funny -- the MVFC has already reprimanded Bo in his first season. He had a reputation in big time ball that carried over in officiating circles that may have had Nebraska hurt in some big games ( no, beating the bottom of the Big 10 doesn't count) when ranked teams played him. Now, you have him starting a new rep with FCS refs and it surely will come back to bite him. Lastly, I' m already on record labeling his first recruit class a stinker. Another and the losing seasons will start to pile up. Parents will not want their son playing for someone who berates his players as badly as Bo does. Disagree if you wish, but we will revisit this issue.................................................................................... I guarantee it !
And now, on with the comedy ! 8)
-
Don't worry Paladin I'm on record as well. I don't have a problem with a coach that yells. What I'm concerned with is several coaches started following Bo's example(especially Carl) and we lost focus on the in game management at hand and should've called a time out. The body language of some of the recruits and players if anyone was watching speaks volumes. Ruiz was looking at Bo with his hands on his hips in disbelief and the same could be said for many others. I'm not trying to dramatize anything but just trying to make a point. And some expect a top dual threat Qb similar to Vad Lee to transfer here..good luck with that!!
-
We have absolutely no need for a transfer QB at this point. Also, Ruiz was upset because he was being targeted & getting no help. That is why we switched to Webb. However, Ruiz did punch it through a few times & I wished he would have been left in on that on series, but then Webb made me eat my wish with a 40+ yard run.
BTW, Wolf never had a recruiting visit as large as I saw Saturday & the letter-man's jackets were from good programs ...especially PA. That was the largest since early 2000's, when we were living off of being the former home of Jim Tressel. This is clearly because of Bo Pelini & you are fooling yourself to think it is anything else. Although I am sure that having JT as a new president does not go unnoticed by these kids and their parents.

I saw 3 or 4 from Pickerington, Ohio in the concession area and a bunch of locals (Mooney and Hubbard sitting together).

Pickerington is some serious central Ohio football. Strong sports in general, I know one forward that Slocum offered is from Central.
-
Pickerington is ground zero for a serious heroin epidemic .
Yep, I agree, Fever. All coaches yell. I did too. But to lose focus of the game at a critical time or make a complete azz out of yourself is another thing. This will come back to bite us.

No, just a need for a coordinator change.

LOL. I don't live there, but it is very nice. Heck it was all farms just 10-years ago, now they have 3 high schools. Kind of the high-rent part of Reynoldsburg.

That's why the heroin issue. Meth is so low rent.
-
Actually just two H.S.s. Old Pickerington which is now called Pick Central and Pickerington North which hits the Reynoldsburg school district in Franklin Co. Its more like 35 years ago it was all farmland. An old coaching buddy of mine started the tough Pickerington program ( Jack Johnson). North is only about 10 years old now.
However , I'm told that heroin is on the teams. I don't know the current coaches but coaches in the area sure know what is going on down there.

It is amazing that one University is willing to pay $8,000,000 to get rid of a coach, and another is happy to save $50,000 a year.
The difference in what the power 5 make on athletics vs YSU and others is staggering.

Not sure how many times this has to be a topic of discussion when talking FCS and FBS but, hardly ANYONE makes money off of athletics. 16 percent of FBS schools (20 turned an overall profit in 2013) And only 5 of those schools do that without subsidies. NO division II programs turned a profit. Its not about how much they make, its about how much that state, community and administration care to invest in the program. You're either prepared to invest of not.

Dean Hood was interviewing for the YSU FB HC position and according to Scalzo, was the leading candidate until President Tressel rescued the program from yet another Strollo hiring fiasco and personally lured BP here.
http://www.ekusports.com/news/2015/11/23/FOOTBALL_1123154315.aspx
Dean Hood is now fired from EKU.
If it weren't for Tressel, Strollo would've delivered us yet another Heacock/Slocum/Martin/Hill......
When is the announcement of Monty's firing? Why wasn't it today?

I believe coaches contracts good through January. Anyway, Monty and Stoops are going to switch positions
after the remake of their new movie. Or was that Slocum and Monty?

I bet there isn't a formal announcement at all. I bet Bo lets the contract expire, and just promotes someone to the position. Basically he will take the red stapler from him and fix the glitch.

You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? What do you know about EKU football? I guess about as much as you know about YSU ...nothing. You do realize that Hood was the regional finalist for the Eddie Robinson award last year? He won it back 2008? He is a defensive-minded head-coach. Exactly what we needed here.
PS: Pelini came to us, we did not go to him. Nobody "lured" coach P here other than the ghost of Don Bucci and ESPN.
PPS: the minute that coach P even thinks about releasing coach M ...we are another 4-years away from a quality team, as we will need to retool. He needs to worry about retooling his defense.
So do us all a favor and look at the record book for the past 5-years.
- You do realize that until this year, coach M's offense's have had over 2,000 yards in both passing and rushing every single season? This has only happened in 11-seasons since our program began back in 1938 & Montgomery has 5 of those in his 6-years with the program!
- You do realize that Wells was runner-up for MVFC Frosh of the year last year?
- You do realize that Well's was one of the 5-finalists for the Jerry Rice award last year as the nation's top frosh? Had he not started Wells this year, coach M would have been the fool.
- You do realize Montgomery's offenses have averaged over 30-points-per-game and have scored 28-points or more 40-times. (not even including this year).
- You do realize that Hess is the top statistical QB in YSU history?
- You do realize that when it is all said and done, that Martin Ruiz and Jermain Cook will be considered Penguin legends? Cook already is.
Yet despite all of these records up until 2015, I respect what coach M has done in 2015 more than any other year. Why, because he had to basically revamp the entire offense in mid-season. One more thing to notice ...it was when coach Shane "dumbed-down" his offense (by request from coach Wolf) that we had such diminishing returns. This is direct correlation to the lack of football skill that has been recruited buy the previous staff. Once we get our talent-level up to where it needs to be, be will be back to 30+ points-per-game and I want this to happen here, not somewhere else. You cannot dismiss a man for having a down season, because his previous 5-have been stellar!
I do not get you at all, you talk based on what you have seen yesterday. A good coach has a good body of work. I bet you that no one knows more than Shane Montgomery, just what problems have plagued the Penguin offense in 2015 and just how to fix it, yet you just 'toot your horn because' the man behind you does. Like my father always told me ..."he is behind you for a reason".

Tressel flew personally to Lincoln to meet with Bo...to recruit him. Before Tressel inserted himself into the process, Strollo was close to hiring this failed EKU HC (the EKU had at least two visits to YSU by then). IDK who made initial contact with who...i do recall a Vindy article about it...but Bo said himself that Tressel was a HUGE incentive to come to YSU.
-
Not even close to being true. The initial job call and recruiting came to Ron Strollo, as is proper. Sure Pelini knows that there is an ex-football guy as president ...that would help anybody that came in here. He is helped no more than anyone else. Do you even realize how far away from football that Tressel needs to stay ...and he does just that. The very first call came from Bo's attorney & Strollo made it happen. I also know that Strollo was listening to Bo's rant while Bo was preparing to make his welcoming address and Strollo did not come out until he had heard it. Strollo cares more and does more for this school than anyone else, that is why he should and will remain. I do think you may be right that there was a call to President T, but the attorney was referred to Strollo.

?????
Everything in my post is 100% accurate.
You are blinded by your man-love for our doofus AD.

What the heck does it matter guys, he is here and I am happy about it.
I would guess that some things happened this year that Bo had no way of knowing. Example - level of talent is just not what he was used to coaching, depth also an issue. Maybe the biggest surprise may have been the quality, or lack there of, of the refs. Every seen your kids team get hosed by a ref at their jr-high basketball game, same thing.

Dean Hood was interviewing for the YSU FB HC position and according to Scalzo, was the leading candidate until President Tressel rescued the program from yet another Strollo hiring fiasco and personally lured BP here.

Dean Hood is now fired from EKU.
If it weren't for Tressel, Strollo would've delivered us yet another Heacock/Slocum/Martin/Hill......
When is the announcement of Monty's firing? Why wasn't it today?
PS: Pelini came to us, we did not go to him. Nobody "lured" coach P here other than the ghost of Don Bucci and ESPN.
Tressel flew personally to Lincoln to meet with Bo...to recruit him. Before Tressel inserted himself into the process, Strollo was close to hiring this failed EKU HC (the EKU had at least two visits to YSU by then). IDK who made initial contact with who...i do recall a Vindy article about it...but Bo said himself that Tressel was a HUGE incentive to come to YSU.
I thought Tressel was in Lincoln for a Followship of Christian Athletes program as a favor to Tom Osborne....
That doesn't mean he couldn't have spoken with Bo, but that wasn't the reason he was there initially.

You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? What do you know about EKU football? I guess about as much as you know about YSU ...nothing. You do realize that Hood was the regional finalist for the Eddie Robinson award last year? He won it back 2008? He is a defensive-minded head-coach. Exactly what we needed here.
PS: Pelini came to us, we did not go to him. Nobody "lured" coach P here other than the ghost of Don Bucci and ESPN.
PPS: the minute that coach P even thinks about releasing coach M ...we are another 4-years away from a quality team, as we will need to retool. He needs to worry about retooling his defense.
So do us all a favor and look at the record book for the past 5-years.
- You do realize that until this year, coach M's offense's have had over 2,000 yards in both passing and rushing every single season? This has only happened in 11-seasons since our program began back in 1938 & Montgomery has 5 of those in his 6-years with the program!
- You do realize that Wells was runner-up for MVFC Frosh of the year last year?
- You do realize that Well's was one of the 5-finalists for the Jerry Rice award last year as the nation's top frosh? Had he not started Wells this year, coach M would have been the fool.
- You do realize Montgomery's offenses have averaged over 30-points-per-game and have scored 28-points or more 40-times. (not even including this year).
- You do realize that Hess is the top statistical QB in YSU history?
- You do realize that when it is all said and done, that Martin Ruiz and Jermain Cook will be considered Penguin legends? Cook already is.
Yet despite all of these records up until 2015, I respect what coach M has done in 2015 more than any other year. Why, because he had to basically revamp the entire offense in mid-season. One more thing to notice ...it was when coach Shane "dumbed-down" his offense (by request from coach Wolf) that we had such diminishing returns. This is direct correlation to the lack of football skill that has been recruited buy the previous staff. Once we get our talent-level up to where it needs to be, be will be back to 30+ points-per-game and I want this to happen here, not somewhere else. You cannot dismiss a man for having a down season, because his previous 5-have been stellar!
I do not get you at all, you talk based on what you have seen yesterday. A good coach has a good body of work. I bet you that no one knows more than Shane Montgomery, just what problems have plagued the Penguin offense in 2015 and just how to fix it, yet you just 'toot your horn because' the man behind you does. Like my father always told me ..."he is behind you for a reason".
Retool the defense? Huh? How about punt on the offense and start over. Defense is top ten and we have the stats to prove it. Offense is terrible and is ranked #51. Care to explain why we run read option with a QB that can't run the ball?
-
simple. The tools are not there. As I said, right now we are well-coached, but if a team alters their scheme in any way, we completely collapse. i.e. halftime adjustments or trick plays. We need to start with a more base defense (which we are doing now btw) and continue to work. BTW, considering this is the worst offense we have had in 6 years ... I would not think we were #51.
