He isn't Mark Stoops like we were hoping for, but he may end up being just as good. South Carolina fans are claiming he is the best assistant they have and are very critical of him for even considering a job in this 'pathetic division' in a pathetic city that nobody cares about. I got a message for them, nobody cares about the Cocks!

Anyways, LetsGoGuins.com, 21 WFMJ, and 33 WYTV are all confirming Eric Wolford will be named the next head coach at Youngstown State early this week.

Biography to follow!

Meet the next Youngstown State Head Coach...
ERIC WOLFORD

Wife's a MILF.

I like the idea of bringing in new blood. Best wishes to your new coach. Sounds like he maintained his local ties in Ohio nicely:

...his recruiting abilities appear to be his #1 attribute. At Illinois, Wolford signed five three-star and four-star players, and a total of five players from Ohio. This year at South Carolina, Wolford has signed an outstanding seven three-star and four-star players, including a highly touted SEC/ACC recruit named Eric Mack.

Press Conference is tomorrow at 3pm at the beautiful DeBartolo Stadium Club!


We are blessed here at YSU. This is only our 6th head coach in our history! ND hired 29, Akron hired 26.

You guys easily have the most awesome half-stadium in FCS. Was it built with the intention of one day moving up and building the other half?

There is another half, albeit it only 4000 seats.

Go to the bottom picture for a rendering of what they wanted to do in the 90s.

Finally, the smaller stands have the foundation in place, you can clearly see the concrete rounded off to near the steps, for an expansion upwards, pushing the capacity to 25,000, however until we win again, that will not occur.

Press Conference will be Live at 3pm here:
