C'mon Charlie, shocking and surreal? Don't you recall the email I sent you guaranteeing you that you would lose if you ever voted with Pelosi again. This was when you sent out those stupid surveys about Obamacare and all your other communist bills, you had plenty of time to vote with the wishes of your district. You are an anti American traitor and deserve what you got. But shocked? Surreal? Now you're just a liar exposed and living in the hell you deserve. When your ads accused Johnson of making a quarter of a million dollars didn't you remember you get taxpayer payroll of $170 thousand+ and have an office budget in the millions and don't pay for a haircut or a burger or bottle of water and have 5 offices? Sounds like Johnson was a pauper compared to you. You thought your district was stupid, told you you would lose! Guess we get the last laugh. How surreal is that?
Ok Strollo, it appears you got your hire, 2nd choice, or so it appears. Neither one were my first pick, but admittedly both for sure top 5. I still suspect all that national search crap, but so be it. Now, Ron, do your new coach a favor, get out of his way and RESIGN and at least admit you're far better at facilities and committees, and fund raising, and balancing all but one hat on your head and all that social intercourse crap then you are at AD. Then apply for Dr.Sweet's job and accept the logical kind of 'YSU Think' promotion and reward for being excellent at everything but athletics AD and you may find yourself in a job that is apparently perfectly suited for you. I will even say, I SUPPORT YOUR IMMEDIATE UPWARD MOVE! But dude you've got to CUT THE BELLY, FALL ON THE SWORD, ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY! Then roll the dice and apply for the big seat and let the chips fall where they may. If you get the job, you'd be doing everybody including YSU fans, new coach and especially your conscience a great service by hiring Jon Heacock as the new AD. All will be redeemed, flowers will bloom and you'd actually learn how to be a man. And oh yeah, you told Eric that the big game money was more important to you and the YSU bean counters and gadabouts, then his life let alone his career, right? And remember that if you would have fired Heacock when I said, like 5-6 weeks ago that the new coaches name would be Stoops as you wanted first choice but you couldn't get off the pot, right? So, who's fault is it? Have you looked in the mirror and said, "Hey, I suck at AD, I dropped the ball, what was I thinking?, early Penguin gets the freakin SMELT!" See, you'd even be my superstar, YSU president, hometown hero and could have been the planner of making your former friend Jon Heacock AD and instead you screwed up at your job and just luckily got your own second choice, Does that make you feel anything or can I taunt you some more? OK, you blew it dude! How would your wife feel if she found out that's how you pick her anniversary gift? I will bet you a $1,000.00 Athletic donation that if you gave a mea culpe and applied you would get the Sweet job and could hire Heacock and YSU would be on the path to better times. Get some stones man and they'll name a building that you designed, funded, built and added an elevator to, after you, now that's a legacy.
Petey, I know you're retiring but could someone, anyone actually act like a real reporter down there at the Vindicator. Are you actually writing this crap or do you copy it from Strollo's twitters? Have you called any of the possible candidates? Could you interview them? Could you compare and contrast them? COULD YOU FREAKING ASK ANYONE OF THEM ANYTHING? Or is the only access you have is to crawl up Ron Strollo's butt? Stollo's punishment for being a lousy AD and sacrifcing Heacock at the altar of the big game money is to be given a huge bankroll to buy the coach that might save his job? Can anyone say conflict of interest? Does anyone remember what happened to Andy Geiger former AD at OSU? Bet you he was a wonderful committee guy and fundraiser and game scheduler too. Facilities and Committees and Fundraising and big game money and meetings = busy, busy, busy maybe you think he should replace Dr Sweet as president and let somebody else keep an eye on the Ball and Student Athletes and Scholarships and Coach evaluation. What the heck is an AD doing looking at building plans and having meetings over elevators and seat backs maybe he should be Facility Planning Director. Maybe he should be MVFC Director or YSU Fundraising Director. Get the hint Petey? Maybe he wears too many hats and is in over his head and can't see whats really wrong at YSU Athletics. Attention potential coaches you are doomed to ruin your careers here. RUN! Maybe Ron Strollo's access and involvement and fundraising are more important then game outcome. Remember this coaches: if you start the season with 1 loss before conference play and end up 8-3 and don't win the conference: no playoffs and it's not Strollo's fault. If you start the season with 2 losses before conference play which is very possible, you're first conference loss may be your career not Strollo's. And if your Heacock/ Strollo recruits go gang beat somebody there's no Andy Geiger to fall on the sword for you, YSU think. YSU speak. Their thought process is in a lockbox and their words to you will be double speak. No coach should seriously believe that it's possible under the current regime to be successful here in the near future and that could destroy a great coaches career before it got started. Can anyone say: "Cleveland Browns"? Take a high expectation guy like Stoops, big money, big expectations, 4 losses 2 games left empty stands! If I was Stoops I'd learn to say "Bearcats" or "Seminoles" or "Golden Flashes" Under another regime that takes responsibility, with a different focus and game scheduling YSU should be the place to coach, but now, not so much. So potential coaches: RUN! And Petey Mum isn't the word, The Bird is the Word and it's Pete the Penguin.
Athleticism, success, wealth, notoriety, politics,social do-gooding, talent, artistry, winning, publicity, prince or princess, and sponsorships are not the stuff role models are made of, they are the stuff media makes role models of and almost always yield disappointment for the blind who follow and unfortunately even the most discerning of us are deceived by the likes of lions and Tigers and bears. Role models are made of hard work, sincerity, responsibility, respect, rules, dependability, kindness, tough love, and character, they err on the side of caution, they are kind but not suckers and die quiet anonymous deaths and leave good citizen children or students or leaders behind to do the same. By the way Mao killed millions of innocents, not my kind of philosophical role model or favorite winning athlete either.
Rob Todor, please do everyone a favor and take a good hard look at Durkin, Stoops, Treadwell, Kahres, and all the potential candidates. Don't leave this decision up to the regime at YSU alone. Get the community and fan base involved by telling the story of each candidate and force the decision into the open. As you see at least 1 of the candidates knows that a YSU head coaching job is greater then just a paycheck. It could be the opportunity of a lifetime, ask Tressel. How about you job interviewing them all? Check their resumes. In the Vindicator. Now that would be reporting.
This is an email I received from DJ Durkin in response to my email requesting that he apply for the Head Coaching position at YSU. While his name does not carry the weight of a Stoops, I think all thought and consideration should be given to this fine young man. He's local, he's absolutely a young man who commands respect, he's is a young force to be admired, he respects the position, he's got Stanford and Notre Dame experience, area athletes will want to play for this young man, salary will not be his prime motivation, young and talented coaches will reach out to him for the opportunity he will bring them, the team SHOULD go young and fresh and vibrant, he brings west coast offense, he's the top rated special teams coach, Stanford and ND academic expectations, for him it's the opportunity of a lifetime, for Stoops it's just the next or latest of many more to come, the fans will support this kind of out of the box thinking, the big money pool being tossed around will go much further for assistants, and it goes on and on.. Listen I think that Stoops would be a great catch, but on the short term while still having this big game problem, YSU could ruin a Stoops career, on the other hand Durkin's career could be made here even with the big game losses and the resulting 2 years of no playoffs (if they figure out it's time to end the big game debacle and quit scheduling them after the next 2 years). The personal expectations are too great for a Stoops, especially if he's paid that much. No one can completely turn the program around until these next 2 futile and stupid big games are over. That will give a Durkin the time he needs to rebuild the program, Stoops could be getting what Heacock got after a few games, maybe a year. Don't get me wrong Stoops is a great choice, but it could be career suicide for him to be considered the savior. Here's the email to me from D.J. Durkin:
Thanks so much for all of the kind words and consideration for this job opening. I agree with you that this job is an outstanding opportunity and should be looked at as a premiere job in the country. I would be honored to be considered for this opening and I truly believe that I can bring an effective approach for bringing that program back to where it belongs. I am hoping to have the opportunity to share those ideas with someone here in the near future. Thanks for your interest in me and thanks for seeking me out to share your thoughts. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
djdurkin@stanford.edu Please send him you encouragement and best wishes, look him up at www.Stanford.edu/athletics. Call and email YSU and make sure they do a real and open search. Suggest they consider the opportunity youth brings to this program. Durkin class of 1997 Boardman High. 2001 Bowling Green, makes him 30 and perhaps our coach for a long time.
