I was at the Boardman vs Harding basketball game Friday, and a guy in front of me, who sounded like he was informed and talking to the right people, swears YSU is in serious talks with Bo Pelini.
I know, it sounds like a long shot. But this guy says money not an issue, getting paid from Nebraska. He and his wife are from the Mahoning Valley, and if he got YSU rolling again it would open the door to another FBS job in a few years. He also said Bo wants to be a head coach, and an FBS job not likely next year.
This guy says Strollo, working with President Tressel have put all their focus on Pelini, and are working with community leaders to get it done. He did add that it is probably 50/50 at best that he takes the YSU job, but if Pelini is even considering it, that would be a huge get for Strollo and YSU.
Whether you like Pelini or not, and it is debatable whether he did a good job at Nebraska, this kind of hire
would give our program a huge boost, at least in my opinion.
