The Penguins, who lost most of their top players from last year’s 6-5 squad, were picked to finish seventh in the nine-team MVFC. It was their lowest ranking since they joined the league in 1997 — and a long way from the ’90s, when now-Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel led YSU to four Division I-AA national titles.

“It’s embarrassing to the whole community and embarrassing to Youngstown State,” Wolford, a Kansas State alum who spent the past 16 seasons as a position coach at eight schools, told reporters this week. “It’s disrespect. In some parts of this world we live in, if you disrespect someone, you may lose your life. Right or wrong. I don’t handle disrespect very well. I’m sure my players won’t either.”

He'll undoubtedly be on the list.

He's a great recruiter, he's coached under Spurrier, Snyder, Leavitt, and he's not even 40. After a few years of cutting his teeth in Youngstown, he's probably be ready for an interview.

Will he be the first choice? Dunno. But if I had a guess, he'll be pretty far up the list.

i want to warm this thread back up with along with the discussion of Sean.

YSU just beat Valpo 59-0 after beating Pitt last week. the Wolford train is picking up steam, imho.

Maybe Currie would let Bill hire him as DC with a HCIW designation.

fwiw, they didn't finish 7th this year. they finished 9th.

he's got a losing record at YSU

still want

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2012, 01:46:35 PM »

This guy could end up being the next Turner Gill. I'd rather have him than some proven loser, but let's just see who is available when Bill decides to retire.

If Currie is still here to make the hire, he won't get anyone with EMAW background

I don't think Currie is going to have any parameters.

well, he's not hiring anyone from the current staff (even though he should consider it). that's a parameter.

The dude he gave $40K to will.

Sorry. When JC conducts a coaching search there are no predetermined parameters. I repeat: NO PREDETERMINED PARAMETERS. That's just the way he rolls.

This is probably true. One thing is for sure, and that is that Currie will be very busy in Dallas. He won't even have time to tell his daughter good bye because he's going to consider every possibility.

He'll find the one person about which no one person had anything bad to say.
