YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Football Offseason Discussion

Qb recruiting parameters should be based on prospects able to read and get the ball out quickly and be accurate.  Those are my 2 requirements then worry about size and physical attributes.  One thing I noticed on our competition they had QB!s that we’re not 6’5 and 220.  Do I want that yes.  But those other attributes are important.  Crenshaw was an athlete but slow on getting ball out and accuracy issues. We tried to force feed him even though you could see the issues.  Hopefully they have learned

You can start another one I think petitioning the NCAA.  Trying to think out of the box.  New conferences through the years have been created. 

YSU
Robert Morris
Duquesne
Dayton if they will upgrade
Find a disgruntled CAA team
Find a team in the southern Conferences to expand the footprint.
Get what Iam saying . 
Make traveling better create rivalry’s.  Again just thinking outside the box
I know it’s crazy.  But staying where we are at has done nothing but destroy our program.

Wick all good points.  I said yesterday that we won’t get in.  The history was there for us not to get picked.  You are right about the AD’s.  That needs to be changed.  Honestly the whole FCS system needs revamped.  How is it fair for a non scholly or a conference that they do not spend the money get an auto bid.  It’s a joke teams like St Francis Dayton don’t spend squat.  But we beat our heads into the ground playing in an upper tier conference and we get screwed over and over.  It’s just a joke

FCS has always been rigged.  Why would you expect anything different.  They already had floated weeks ago that our conference was having a down year.
I keep saying this we are in the wrong conference.  But you experts say it’s the SEC of FCS.  We will struggle to be a top 3 team in the conference for life.  We didn’t even have to play Northern Iowa and South Dakota st.  Right?   We had a weaker schedule right?  What’s the conference done for us nothing.  Even Strollo who used to be on the internet committee got us nothing as well as that worthless commissioner.  We would have got in at 8-3 and I wonder if we played a tougher non conference game at home would make a difference
I forgot sometimes they use geography for regional brackets for an excuse.  The reason for that is for the non scholly BS schools that don’t have money helps them it’s bs

It comes down to our conmish and how many friends we have on the committee.  They have never been consistent in how they pick and I think it depends on the regions or something geographically.  Like I said we seem to always get the screws,  🙏

Precedent is against us trying to get into the back door.  Ask Jim Tressel and all other coaches when we went 7-4 or 8-3.

I agree the schedule was favorable and if we took care of business we could have made the playoffs.  But after what I saw the second half of he game was a defense that gave up another third and long and gave up to many plays to keep Miss St in the game.  What was Davidson today like 12 out of 30.  It’s just a shame how we wasted # 8 this year.  I blame Coach Phillips for this one.  I never saw such a horrible set of play calls and disorganized chaos at the end of that game.

To be honest that last offensive series the wheels came off from the play calls to Davidson not making the correct decisions with the ball and we were not prepared for that situation. That falls on the HC.  We probably needed to call timeout before we messed up.  I would have loved to hear the conversation between the coaches on those play sequences.  We panicked and werent prepared.  But Davidson looked like a nervous nelly back there.  If we could have hit the middle it was open for the pa$$ there it looked like we were looking to the sidelines and outside the hash.  But those last 3 play calls were plain stupid.

That’s why I struggle with how FCS is put together. They can get an auto bid and I guess they spend half the money and have a High school stadium.  Makes no sense
