SUGGEST A NEW POLL [email protected]

Welcome Youngstown State FAN!

Have you had enough of the Robic era at YSU?  Well this site is putting out a call to Athletic Director Ron Strollo to pull the plug on men’s basketball coach, John Robic… The reasons are plentiful:

EVEN JIM TRESSEL MAKES MISTAKES

- Robic inherited a program from Dan Peters in 1999, and with Peters talent, Robic went a decent 31-25 for the 99-00 and 00-01 seasons…Once Peters's talent disappeared so did victories…The Penguins have won 25 games since they lost in an exciting game against Valpo at the end of the 00-01season.

- Since competing for a Mid-Con Conference title in 00-01, the most memorable moment in Robic’s YSU file was the upset of a Kent State team that advanced to the elite eight during the 01-02 season.

Jim Tressel's biggest error was hiring JR in 1999.

- Robic has managed to waste away talent, and take a program that was on the up and up, to the gutter…Recruiting JUCO basketball players that cannot compete at the D-I level.

- Robic refuses to schedule good basketball teams…The 25 wins Robic has achieved with his “talent” consists of D-II teams, D-I teams that barely  qualify as D-I, and few league wins…

- Same excuses in post-game press conferences, loss, after loss...for example:
       Thanks MatchboxOmatic!
      "this league is so hard to win on the road" or we  
       always hear this one..."we had a great day 
       of practice coming off the loss"
       

- Robic is 0-2 in Mid-Con tournament games, and is currently 1-4 in Horizon League Tournament games.

- Thanks Gary!... 10 players have left the program prior to completing their eligibility..... 3 left without ever playing a season, 6 left after 1 year and 1 after 2 years. Also Doug Underwood was kicked off the team, so that is 11 players who have failed to complete all 4 years and who will count against YSU Grad Rates when their classes are due to graduate.

Head Coach Jon Robic

Not many people can claim victory over Slippery Rock and Lock Haven in the same year.

- Thanks Gary!...Has had eight different assistant coaches in his six seasons at Youngstown State.

- Thanks Gary!...25 straight non-conference road losses...last non conference road win was Jan 2, 2001 at Robert Morris.

1-16 against D1 opponents 

10 game losing streak

- Thanks aysufan!...these kids have to put up with ongoing emotional and verbal abuse on a daily basis. they are totally demoralized - no wonder they can't win a game. They have come here as devoted basketball players, some with proven experience and success JUCOs, some right out of high school, and now they can't wait until the season is over. That's the saddest part of all. They have to endure listening to how bad they are and also personally deal with the coaching situation.

 - Add your own reason: E-Mail Fire Robic your suggestion to dispose of Robic  

Robic makes over $90,000 per year, we will be generous to JR and say he makes an even 90k / year. Listed is the breakdown of the amount Robic has been paid per win...rounded off to benefit JR.
