Am I the only person who thinks that any coach for Ohio State should have to have connections to OSU?

"Obviously you aren't the only person to have this opinion, but not everyone agrees with you."

Is this verbatim quote from Captain Obvious responsive to your query?

I'm sorry, but I don't recall any other people voicing that opinion. The last few pages have all been about how Peterson or Patterson or Strong or Mullin would be good.

I want someone that is basically like Tressel and I feel that Fickell could be the guy.

The last few pages have been about whether Pelini (an alumnus and famous youngstown family) was offered and would be good.

Patterson was referenced in a list of four Ohioans (Meyer, Dantonio, and two Stoops, another famous Youngstown family) and a famous NFL coach.

Really there's only so many ways we can discuss Meyer, and Patterson/Strong/Mullen didn't get much run.

The Coaching Search: Bo Pelini
TheBuckeyeBattleCry.com

Ever since his meteoric rise in the college coaching ranks six years ago, Mark ?Bo? Pelini has been a well known name for the top spot in Ohio State football. Though he hasn't ever explicitly said so, having been raised in Youngstown, Ohio, and having graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School, Pelini has likely been a Buckeye fan for life.

Of course, it also helps that he played ball there.

Recruited by Earle Bruce, Pelini spent most of his days on the field as a free safety under John Cooper. He was a starter in his last two seasons (1989, 1990) and Co-Captain his senior year. Clearly the Scarlet and Gray runs deep in his blood.

After his playing career, Pelini jumped straight into the coaching circuit. He spent a year as a Graduate Assistant at Iowa, followed by another year as the Quarterbacks coach of his old High School.

He then jumped into the professional leagues, coaching DB's at San Francisco (94-96) for three years before coaching Linebackers for the Patriots (97-99) and Packers (00-02).
