YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: baseball coaches

So here’s the thing… if we can’t even afford to pay a competitive salary for a baseball coach and staff which is fourth fiddle here, what makes anyone believe we’d have the funds necessary for the MAC? Food for thought.

There is a media report that assistant coach Trevor Charpie will be promoted to the top job.

On the surface, I find it strange that you would elevate an assistant from such a bad program. On the other hand, Charpie was here only one season, so he is hardly to blame for the bad recruiting and high turnover in the program.  Also, he was a minor league pitcher, and boy do we need to improve that vital phase of the game.

We shall see how this works out. Perhaps this was the best Strollo could do for this less than attractive job.

YSU “hired” another coach… he met with the team and everything and then called Strollo a few hours later to back out. This guy was the best we could do given the circumstances, and I mean no disrespect.

When did this happen

Early on in the process. It’s why they made the move to fire in the first place because they thought they had their ducks in a row for said candidate.

delusional is thinking staying in FCS a good idea. Enjoy irrelevancy and the and the 600 fans per game. Rather play on national TV a few games a year and get to a meaningless bowl game then play in a meaningless division for a meaningless playoffs they we wont ever win again either. Drop down to division II then for all that.

The fee to move to from FCS to FBS is $5 million alone. Then you'd have more money that you'd have to throw at the football staff alone nevertheless the millions you'd need to upgrade your facilities to MAC standards... YSU doesn't have THAT kind of money laying around, especially given the current state of academic programs they're cutting left and right. It's just the reality you're going to be faced with.

Some of you are extremely delusional. I have a better chance of winning the Powerball TWICE than we do going to the MAC. It ain’t gonna happen. The amount of money required alone to enter the MAC makes it infeasible.

I'm glad it appears to be a seamless transition and Coach Faulkner will carry on with Coach Calhoun had established.  It's good to hear that apparently everyone else is staying...wish we could have retained Lovelace.

I did think the press conference though was pretty lackluster...just 10 mins including questions.  Can't believe there weren't more questions from the media.  And nothing from Strollo.
Apparently, they emphasized several times during the press conference that they want one to one meeting after the comments by the coach.
I could tell the coach is not as a dynamic speaker as Calhoun.  I guess that is a difference in their personality. It really doesn’t matter as long as he gets the job done.
BTW, who was the guy introducing Faulkner, he never introduced himself. I was surprised that AD didn’t personally introduced him.

I was under the impression of last Wednesday as well. Now everything has been pretty quiet on that front.

The only way to stop them is to make it so that all new people that join have to be manually approved. Trying to avoid it, but maybe we’ll just have to do it. It’s just that a lot of people read some thing for the first time and want to respond right away and that won’t happen.

Still would be a lot better than the current state of spam.
