  We all hope, or at least most of are rooting for Phillips to win.  But come on, Tressel is not beyond shady dealings.

Phillips was 5th out of 7 when the committee interviewed.  It was tim Tyrrell's job, Don Treadwell next, then Shane Montgomery.

Tressel and Sebo together in Florida, Sebo writes the check.  Tressel makes the hire.  It's over now, let's hope Tressel made the right call.  Yes, I am skeptical and think a running backs coach from Cincinnati, who was out of football for 7 years is going to struggle.

 Phillips I think is average, we need more than average to turn this ship around.  Just my opinion.

One thing for DAMN SURE, it's just you opinion.  Show me the check!!  You are SLAMMING Jim Tressel and Bob Sebo, you better have some damn facts!!  You better have some facts to trash people like JT and BS.  Prove this claim or I am calling you a lying sack of sh**!  Put up, big mouth.

Thinking along the same lines, do we really know JT is staying with Sebo and if so, so what. Has anyone seen a check? Why would Sebo be so interested in DP? Any proof that JT wanted DP? This site does not have a good track record with rumors.

This thread has taught me a couple of things.

1. Most folks on this board need better sources.
2. Way too many negative Nancy's.

As much as I hate to admit it, I no longer feel that we are on the same level as the mid MAc schools. A true YSU fan really only has one option at this point, trust that the powers to be know what they are doing and give the new coach a chance to prove himself. I believe that JT came to us as a lowly QB coach and look how he turned out, Let's all hope that Doug does better.

I feel bad for Heacock his biggest problem was to follow JT. If he had been before JT he would have been fine.

When Montgomery was the offensive coordinator here, was he not heavily criticized by a significant numbers of posters?  Was there not considerable rejoicing when he finally left?  Now it is a tragedy that he was not brought back as the head coach?  I am really confused.

You pretty much nailed it!

Who would have thought recruiting eighth graders to your high school was all it took to get a Div 1 college football HC job.  Somewhere Gerry Faust is smiling!

Glad to see you are taking a positive approach.

If true I am somewhat surprised by the pick. not saying that I am upset with the pick, just surprised.

As someone else mentioned we have tried head coaches and assistants with limited success. I am excited to see how it plays out, maybe he will make JT look like a rookie.

Guessing he will be hungry and full of energy. As a hs coach he sure should be able to relate to the youth of today and maybe that will help in the recruiting.

I think that the key will be the coaching staff he puts together.

Seriously we play in the toughest conference in FCS and we are hiring a HS coach. You guys are ok with this.  The media needs to ask why.  How is he better than Montgomery or any other proven  college coach.

May be this is the low cost option that we could afford.
I could not afford a Cadillac on my YSU salary, so I drive a Chevy. Lol

I hope the hire is not just for money reasons but assuming that it is not I would guess that he would not cost as much as the others. That said it would stand to reason that there would be more money for a stronger staff.

If the INDY ST coach turned us down we have truly fallen to a near bottom feeder program.  Very alarming!  We don’t have the money to pay and we have lost our fan base.  Our facilities are good but not elite.

Could also be the fact that he’s from Indiana and doesn’t want to move his family again for basically a lateral move. Don’t think it categorizes is as a bottom feeder. He’d probably not be interested in coaching SDSU either

Nice post

What the coach across the border At Slippery Rock. Last year 13-1 grew up at Massillon Jackson -Shawn Lutz

Shawn has been at the Rock for over 20 years 4 as head coach, he seems to be comfortable there. Has the program going in the right direction so for now has it made. He may be happy with that. So much more pressure at YSU.

Some folks are just not cut out to be the head coach, maybe DC is his niche.

If he wants to stay as per his contract, fine. If he wants to leave for whatever reason, fine as well. No way should he be allowed to dictate who follows him as coach, especially if its his brother.

agree

So he wants to leave for another job but is he threatening to stay if we do not make his brother the next head coach???
