Tim Beck to Ohio State

[TheSker]

I think it will, he has shown the capability of beating higher ranked teams, while our past leader normally struggled with lower level teams.

Pelini struggled. Riley lost.

 

[Hujan]

He will be about as much an OC under Urban as Papuchis was a DC under Pelini. Meier runs the offense at Ohio State.

I suspect Meier and OSU's athletes will do a lot to mask Beck's inconsistent play calling and inability to develop QBs.

Interesting to see Beck go to one of the top progrums in the nation, and Bo fall all the way to the FCS.

If I was being paid $3+ million as part of a buyout on top of the salary he is getting at Youngstown, I would take a job in my hometown too. It's not a matter of him dropping to FCS, but more his choice to do so.

I totally agree with this...It is like those guys that played in the pros, set for life and they go coach High School ball...why not, it is fun, they don't need the cash.

What is Bo, around 45? He can coach at YSU, let his kids attend and graduate from Cardinal Mooney, and then maybe Bo will look to go back into big-time coaching. Or he can stay at YSU for 20 years, and enjoy his life. Every situation is different, I don't know why people get all caught up with "oh yeah, Bo is so lame he ended up at crappy YSU."

How could Blow and Jim Tressel want to really end up at Y. St. ? They have egos and usually a "big name" who ends up at small college or high school has screwed up somewhere. When Blow was "caught" on tape a couple years ago saying "it won't be long and I am out of here".......he was not thinking Y St, and rolling into the Dakota Dome next September .

For $3M a year an ego can take a hit and roll into South Dakota. Tressel was the most successful coach in YSU history so it's not too much of a stretch for him to be employed by them while he has to wait for his show cause to expire.

Under Beck, for reasons we will probably never know, our offense was inconsistent at best and qb development seemed nonexistent. For those reasons, I'm glad he is gone. Maybe he'll do better at Ohio State.

How many top 5 teams did our past coach beat, how many top 20 teams embarrassed us, even non ranked teams embarrassed us.

Keep on dangling.

Aren't you the new lead poster on the Youngstown State forum, they do have one don't they?

Didn't like Beck as OC. IMO, he should have been fired before Bo. No QB development, stubborn, mish mash play calling, square peg in a round hole etc.....Glad Urban picked him up. Guy just didn't get it done at NU. Regardless of Bo, injuries etc....Beck made some great calls and some of the dumbest I have ever seen. Unfortunately, many of the head scratches cost us games......

Great coaches have made bad hires. If Beck shines, is it because he is a good OC or OSU and their 68% blue chip recruits for 2013-2014 (up 17% from 2011-2012). Right behind Bama at 73%.......The talent possessed by OSU would make an average OC (I'm giving Beck credit) look all world. If he succeeds it also gives more evidence that Bo was the biggest problem......

Like everything else i.e. recruits, coaches, ex players etc that move on.....good luck. Lets look forward to what NU has not what they had...

OSUs offense will now fold in big games.

This should help with our new staff swaying Joe burrow to NU. Beck basically gave the burrows the middle finger when they tried to meet with the coaches when they were in Lincoln.

Can you elaborate on this?

I think Beck will do fine there. Bo was the problem here.

Burrow and his family wanted to be Huskers. He didn't even get an invite to our QB camp while getting invites to OhioSts, Bamas, WVUs. Burrow was dreaming/hoping for a Neb offer and the coaching staff wanted nothing of him. He is a legacy kid.

Keep on justifying. I don't follow the Youngstown State forum, but thanks for checking. There are a couple of posters on here who provided links to Youngstown State, so others may be better able to answer your question. I'm aware of how big a deal the McNeese State game was to you.....with the frequency you brought it up. But I'm sure it doesn't matter that Riley lost to two FCS schools........

Crazy. Hopefully Riley can swoop in and save the day there.

Why are people still arguing about this? Bo is gone, get over it. Give Riley a chance before you condemn the guy

You guys. Find the tangent thread to keep going at this 'Mike Riley loses to FCS teams' stuff.

I have a better idea. How about TheSker joining a different board since he obviously is rooting harder for our ex-coaches than our new staff.

Keep posts like that in the Shed too, please! Some minds aren't changing - one way or the other. Shouting them out just adds to the unpleasantness. Thanks!
