Sclazo reporting Wolford to get contract extension

[ysuindy]

Scalzo with a couple of Tweets indicating Strollo has said Wolford will get a contract extension:

Joe Scalzo ‏@JoeScalzo1
YSU athletic director Ron Strollo said Eric Wolford will get an extension. Wolford is entering last year of original contract.

Strollo believes program is headed in the right direction. Said playoffs are still the standard. More in Saturday's paper.


Hopefully the article will be on-line.

Two points (that I've probably made before)

1.  An extension is imperative for recruiting as we head in to the last month.  If Wolford doesn't get an extension, it will be used against YSU by other coaches.  Doing nothing was not an option IMO.  Strollo either has to let Wolford go (and would have had to it as season ended) or extend him.

2.  The real key to an extension (which I would think has to be at least two years and most likely three) is what are the buyout terms.  If we are sitting here in two years and YSU still hasn't made the playoffs, Strollo needs a way out of the contract - with a buyout cost that YSU can afford.

I can live with an extension (do I have any choice) if it contains Part 2 as outlined by Indy.  But an extension without a reasonable buyout clause is Tisha Hill all over again.

End of my Season Tickets for now.  Sorry, that's just how it reads in my book.

Agreed

I hope you rethink

Expect an overhaul on defense in weeks ahead. Heard it hear first. I'm not posting that because I hope it happens, I'm posting it because it is going to happen.

I'm expecting 2 years with an "out" that is very reasonable for YSU.

I'm good with a reasonable extension. 2-3 years

Well we will see what they do over the next 2 yrs.  I agree with the D but they really need the right players on D.  I believe the talent just hasn't been there the last few years especially at LB.  Listen they could be the browns and change Coaches every other year.  I wish the staff the best of luck with recruiting.

Defensive coordinator hire will be key. Don't need a big name, need a GREAT coach.

Giving him 2 more years to see what he can do isn't a bad thing.  It is good for recruiting.  I just hope we can make the playoffs this year but I have a feeling with a brand new no experience QB it maybe somewhat rebuilding.

So Tresey is gone then???

From what I've been hearing from multiple people, it sounds like he is on the way out. Remember Kravitz was canned on January 30-31, so expect a similar timeframe for Tresey.

Thanks for the info Valley. Hopefully Shane goes with him!

If Shane was leaving, wouldn't it have been in Wolf's best interest to retain Mangino?
Maybe it was just a case of better money, but we may never know.
I would like to know some names of people the posters here think would be logical
candidates to replace some of the coaching staff.

[ysufan0505]

Not sure, I just think a change offensively and defensively is needed, especially with a new QB coming in.
