I enjoy the conversation both ways on the hiring of Tim Tyrrell. Thats what I enjoy most about this site, that we can agree to disagree, and there is a place for YSU fans to have discussion.
Without question this hire is a risk, and it is Tressel's hire, however he will be long gone when we determined if Tyrrell is successful; so Strollo will get the praise of criticism. The safe way would have been Treadwell or Montgomery. I think Montgomery would have been a disaster. I like the risk, and only time will tell on the success.
As for Tressel, he is God like in this community, but he has his scars as well. Without question, a great football coach. Mixed results in hiring as an AD here at YSU. He put together a committee several years ago to hire a basketball coach, most of the committee nixed John Robic, but he did what he wanted and hired Robic, who was a bust. If you are going to do what you want anyway, don't put together a fraud committee. Tressel has had issues with following the rules. Ray Isaac getting paid to do nothing by Mickey Monus was orchestrated by Tressel and his lying to the NCAA cost him his job at Ohio State.
But back to Tyrrell, he needs our support, and we need to give him a chance, he is one of our own.
