JFootball2,
First of all, Scumbag Tressel? He did not do anything other coach's at top D1 programs do not do. He messed up at TOSU by not telling the truth. He was trying to defend the players, handle things "in house" and do what he thought was best. That proved to be a costly mistake, one for which he has apologized on multiple occasions.
As for who would want the job, even though YSU is not what they once were in football, this is still one of the top FCS jobs in the country. The facilities are as good as any in FCS, and on par with some schools at the FBS level. Also, as much as attendance has dropped off, YSU is still annually in the top 15-20 for attendance in FCS.
The MVFC is arguably the top conference in all of FCS, and has been among the top 3 since before YSU joined.
The fans in Ytown are very supportive of a team that wins. The fans are demanding, but any coach worth their salt would want a demanding fan base. And, I think it speaks volumes about what the expectations are at YSU, that many fans what Wolford's contract bought out after this year if the team does not make the playoffs. I can remember a time when 6-5 or 7-4 was considered a good record. I'm glad that is no longer the case, and if YSU does indeed miss the playoffs, I hope several of the big $$$$ people get together and give YSU the money to buyout Wolford's contract.
I also have an idea on how those of us of lesser means can help buy out the contract. Start a GoFundMe account where fans can make donations to help raise the money to buy out the remainder of Wolford's contract. I would donate $10 if such a fund was started, and others were donating. Heck, if I had the money, I'd likely pitch in $5,000 or $10,000, but I'm getting by month-to-month, so giving that much would not be possible.
