The new coach: what credentials would you like to see?

[Scarlet and Lace]

Bottom line is we have a great coaching staff and we should be happy with what they have done. Let's play wait and see on the last few games. I'm a fan. I think we will come out on top!

As long as Wolf is the head coach the motto should be:  THERES ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!

[peteonastick]

I would like a head coach that does not let the team come out like they have smoked a bowl at halftime.. I would like a head coach that is has a group of assistant coaches that grab kids by the facemask and get in their face and if they don't like it..quit...we have a secondary that is afraid to come up and hit someone and knock them into tomorrow...we need a goon in the secondary...a Pixley, Smiley, Roberts, Statzer...we are weak at secondary!!

I've got to believe we are getting a new special teams coach next year, even if nothing else changes.

Pete I understand your frustration, but...
If anything, I think some of the coaches smoked the bowl at halftime.
Ask Coach Mangino about grabbing a kid by the face mask and getting in their face.
We need big hits in the secondary for sure, but with the new rules protecting a receiver a goon squad will get you ejected.  Of course playing 10+ yards off the receiver makes it hard to put on any big hits.

Lets get it started up again!!!!

Say goodbye to the Eric Wolford era in Youngstown.

I hope today was the nail in the coffin for Wolford and his circus. This guy is a complete and utter joke. Go back to being a run game coordinator.

To be successful they must hire someone with experience in the MVFC.... No tOSU assistants or homer......

Wick's post that was started with the loss to WIU appears to have some wisdom behind it.

That's a tremendous statement and one I completely agree with. Similar to women's basketball with Barnes from UWGB.

[WeAreYoungstown]

That's why we should go after Joe Glenn from South Dakota. He coaches up inferior talent; it would be nice to see what he could do with better players

[Wick250]

Power,

You know how desperately I wanted to be wrong about this.  But anybody with a certain level of analytical ability could see this coming from a mile away.  Any coach who is utterly incapable of responding to half time adjustments is not suitable for the head position.

17,

I agree.  No homer.  I would prefer somebody with zero ties to this community, just like Barnes.  We need that fresh set of eyes.  I think that Barnes' strength goes beyond his ties to the Horizon League standard-bearer.  He was a successful head coach at the D2 level before he served as an assistant at Michigan (I think) and then UWGB.  Would like to see similar experience levels from the next football coach.

After today's game, I have changed my mind
