The next YSU Head Football Coach

[ysubigred]

Per football scoop, other candidates who have interviewed besides the ones mentioned here are Don Treadwell, Doug Phillips and Mike Sullivan.

I believe it's down to Tyrrell and Monty.

Don't count out Lou!

I add this as comic relief.  Many of you will remember the banned poster who called himself Paladin.  He is currently pontificating on a high school site called Yappi Football that has a thread about the YSU opening.  He has stolen every scrap of information secured by chief, 1990, and others and presented it there as his own "findings."  Still the consumate loser.

He's a clown.

On a good day (there were some, just not enough) Paladin stimulated conversation and diverse thought, but he was such a hater the choice to ban was the right one.  He was, by any measure, a loser!

A loser? Geez.

BTW, aren't you the guy who called a 15 year old child who was raped a "sl*t"?

Yes.  I suppose you believe you can't be a sl*t and 15 at the same time?  It should be noted the player involved here was NOT involved in the act, NOR was he involved in the filming NOR was he present.  He received a text, and he forwarded it, which he should NOT have done.  But he is hardly a rapist.

From what I heard from my guy today, it looks like Tyrrell is a done deal.

[go guins]

One thing I can't help but note in this process.  At the beginning of this thread, it read like we wouldn't get any qualified applicants because of the money, and in the end, it looks like approx. a dozen guys who each had very good points on their resumes were interested.  Hope the best man got the job, but only time will tell.  Seems funny or ironic or whatever, but it looks like the high school guy may get the job because he has demonstrated the best recruiting, which is against the rules in HS, isn't it?

[YSUGO]

It comes down to money.

[goodnews]

Program needs ENERGY and maybe he is the right guy at the right time.  My concern would be the supporting staff.   

[YSUFANSINCE1990]

Done deal, Tyrrell.  YSU trying to hold off til
Saturday for announcement.

[FOOTBALLFEVER]

Why hold off? Tomorrow is the second signing period..maybe we can get a steal

[ysupenguins14]

I didn’t want it to be true but it indeed is. It’s a huge risk for the Athletic Department but I’ll give him a chance.  Hopefully he can turn his vision into reality.

Assuming this is true, goodnews has highlighted Tyrrell's most appealing feature and also his potential weakness.  We need passion, zeal, and energy.  Someone with a burning desire to win.  He stretched the laws and broke them with his recruiting at Hoban yet managed to keep ahead of the OHSAA rule enforcers.  I have no concerns about clashes with the NCAA because all the illegal recruiting he did at Hoban just prepared him for what is to come on the college level....legally.

On to goodnews' second point, how to put in place assistant coaches that are well-versed in the college game?  Do we have the funds to surround him with capable veterans?  I doubt it.  Just as we are gambling on Tyrrell, we must take a leap of faith and give unproven coaches their opportunities. 

Exciting times.  If there was ever a high risk/potential high reward hire, this is it.

[ytownchief22]

Definitely a risk but JT has wanted Tyrrell back on campus for awhile now. He had a lot to do with this getting done.

[goodnews]

I remember Tim from living on campus back in 93-97 as most of us back then were student athletes until Cafaro was built.  Although a high school coach you could compare the programs he worked for to be almost D3 in college terms maybe higher?  Hopefully, this Ursuline disciple works out better then the previous one.  The other candidates weren't overwhelmingly exciting but certainly safer.

This guy seem more in line with a college coach at 1FCS!

Treadwell, now at Michigan State, previously served as running-backs coach and offensive coordinator at YSU. He also spent time as an assistant at Miami-Ohio, Cincinnati, Stanford, Boston College, North Carolina State and Kent State.

[YSUGO]

Seriously we play in the toughest conference in FCS and we are hiring a HS coach. You guys are ok with this.  The media needs to ask why.  How is he better than Montgomery or any other proven  college coach.

[goodnews]

We just had a proven college coach and it didn't work.  All the other guys are just journey men who had assistant jobs because of Tressel.  I believe those other guys would've been complacent just like Bo.  Time will tell the truth.
