The next YSU Head Football Coach

[IAA Fan]

Grow up and discuss the topic. The mere fact that you consider the word "trash" to be a racist statement shows just how racist you are. FYI, most of the trash in Florida has white skin, as do I. As does much of Broward County. I am merely giving you reasons why a hire like this could possibly be made. Chaminade is in Broward County. You either live in Miami, or the Everglades. Here is the first sentence of the the school's mission statement: "Chaminade-Madonna seeks to provide a safe and family-oriented environment where students can learn and mature into caring leaders in our society." If you have to address safety right off the top...draw your own conclusion.

I mean, regardless of racial implications. I’m  concerned with anyone calling children “trash” in general. Kinda mean-spirited to refer to someone growing up in a less than ideal neighborhood as “trash”.

YSUGO, you are both comical and delusional.  Anyone who thinks Montgomery deserved to be the head coach is not looking at the big picture.  He was 17-31 as a head coach at Miami, including a pair of 2-10 seasons.  Terry Hoeppner the coach prior to Montgomery had 7 straight winning seasons before leaving for Indiana.  Montgomery took a winning program and ran it into the gutter.

He did a good job at YSU under Wolford.  As for James Madison he walked into a perfect situation, they were loaded with offensive talent, a veteran QB and offensive minded head coach.  James Madison and ND State were so much better than anyone in FCS, I think even without the great Shane Montgomery that JMU would have been in the title game.

Montgomery is a good assistant coach, he showed nothing as a head coach, zero.  He is like Jon Heacock, but not as good as Heacock.  Being an assistant is where he belongs, not running the entire program.

Heacock did not get the $$ support and facilities Bo and Wolf got but his teams were equally as good. I'd say Heacock is a better HC than Bo or Wolf.

Chief or 1990,

Does anyone know when the university plans to make an official announcement.  We have known it since Tuesday, the players know it, and yet silence from the media.  This will be really strange if they wait until Saturday to make the formal announcement at the banquet or basketball games.

[YSUFANSINCE1990]

I am hearing Saturday for sure.  Don't know when or where.

So he got hired because he can relate to the "trash" kids? Got it. You need serious help mentally.

Not sure about an announcement Wick.... Not sure what the hold up is.

Chief ...attack all you want; your justifications still fall far short. I am the only one on the board looking at reason why such poor move could be made. I mean tell me a college football reason, besides being here almost 20-years ago. Gee any assistants showing success at the collegiate level? When you run down to Florida to bring a recruit up here, "it ain't for an education". It is to play ball. It is a completely different mindset than catching a local recruit with a partial to try an get his degree.

The only reason you need to say as to why you would hire Montgomery comes from the YSU record book. Recent experience. Also, to say that he could not coach a QB? Just take a look in our record book at all of the relevant stats for QBs. They are all held by Montgomery-coached QB's. Again attacking the messenger does not negate the message. You are scratching your head just as hard as the rest of us.

Doug Phillips got the job.

[The YO Show]

What is going on???

[goodnews]

SAFE, INEXPERIENCED and CHEAP......

[ytownchief22]

Well, what a dumpster fire this has become. The usual.

Tyrrell was going to be the choice but from what I can gather, he wanted more money, especially to bring in certain assistants that would've cost more. Certain people in charge did not like that idea trying to go the cheapest route possible.

Phillips is a Youngstown boy and another close guy to JT and will be the new coach.

Nothing like going from a HC coach to a guy who wasn't even coaching football and was superintendent of West Branch high school for a few years lol. Yikes. What an abysmal hire.
