Just a couple excerpts from Scalzo's article that hit me with reality:
“I think the weather was a bit of a factor because our guys thrive on adversity,” South Dakota State coach John Stiegelmeier said. “I don’t know about their team but I know it didn’t hurt us.”
The key phrase "our guys thrive on adversity" and our (YSU) guys don't, they roll up and quit.
"The loss — YSU’s third straight — put a serious dent in the Penguins’ playoff hopes and revealed the same problems that have plagued them during Wolford’s four-year tenure: poor defense, poor performance in big games and an inability to right the ship when things go south."
Shouldn't that be enough to remove him or for him to resign??
“Does 8-4 get us in? I don’t know,” Wolford said. “We had a chance to control our destiny today and we didn’t do it.”
Hey Coach, you've been saying that for the last 2 years. When are you going to do something about it, instead of your constant excuses? Which you say you don't make.
And the one that actually made me laugh out loud:
"When asked if he’s satisfied with where his program stands in Year 4, Wolford said, “I’ll never be satisfied until we’re playing for a championship and I don’t think you can ever settle, but I think it’s very clear that we’ve made a bunch of progress."
“We’re in the upper echelon of the conference now. We’re not at the bottom, we’re not at the middle. We’ve worked our way to the top. We’ve got to find a way to take that next step to get to that 1-2 spot.”
Coach, this program has made NO progress. And yes, you're a middle of the pack football team whether it be the MVFC, CAA or wherever else we may be. You don't have what it takes to find a way to move up to 1 or 2. Not with the current coaching staff and/or players that you have brought in.
