Not to knock the guy but he inherited an already perennial power from his father. He built nothing. We're also talking D3...
I will admit that I'm super biased, I'm both a Mount Union and YSU alum. Yes, he did inherit a perennial power, he's not his dad, but I believe their coaching philosophy works anywhere.
I wouldn't advocate any D3 guy for YSU, but Mount Union is much closer to a low level FCS team than your average D3 team. and I don't think anyone would really bat an eye if a highly succesful pioneer league coach interview for the YSU job.
For example look at their recruiting footprint. We've had a lot of complaints about BO being too in love with local guys. Well Mount Union recruits nationally, with an even higher percentage of out of state guys than we do:
