I'm excited as a YSU alumni. Of course all the typical negative Youngstown people think differently.

This was after Akron went with another candidate yesterday, in case anyone wondered what happened with them.

Actually Akron named Scarborough knowing that the YSU job was offered to Tressel already ;)

Actually you're wrong it shouldn't be they're. I missed an "are" in there.

Are you from Youngstown 1beast?

Everybody with a brain knew YSU was going to offer Tressel.

not sure what your post has to do with anything. If Akron wanted Tressel, they would have named him and got him. Unfortunately the trustees caved in to external pressure and picked this bum from Toledo.

I doubt that... Akron essentially had first choice all along (as they could match/beat anything YSU offered). Akron was just a little apprehensive about his qualifications (mainly the doctorate thing) and YSU views him as a god and didn't care about that.

I think he will do fine given his leadership skillset, but I'm not surprised he ended up at the smaller school to start.

This. I'm bummed personally. Good luck to him. I'm sure he will succeed.

As a current student I'm satisfied with the choice and it seems most others are as well.

I'm glad/happy for Tressel, but honestly... what does an ex- college football coach know about being a President of a University? He better surround himself with people that do...
