Wolf's problem here was his D and his personality. If he had hired a competent DC, YSU would have made the playoffs multiple times. As it was , they were one game out many years. The recruiting was awesome. The O was high scoring. Discipline was firm. He was out in the community and with charities. Winning record and it kept improving. YSU screwed up ( again) in pulling the plug. But his personality made it easy for the AD to scapegoat him ( and I suspect the extension negotiations also played a role). That said, He doesn't need to be a OC. He got the HC job here simply being a position coach that was a great recruiter. He has successful HC experience and successful coaching at major winning programs. The clincher is Snyder at KSU is really old and Wolf was a major FAVORITE OF HIS AS A PLAYER. Snyder won't be around coaching much longer and KSU will favor a Snyder protégé as a replacement. Wolf being at Okie St. and probably a major winning program again will make him a strong candidate. With recommendations from Spurrier, Snyder and others, he will be top shelf. And , KSU or not, Wolf will be at the top of a lot of lists for recruitment alone but successful coaching stops ( and as a HC) will seal the deal. He'll be a D-I HC. He just needs to line up some DC friends, lol
