FWIW...Beals was the Head Coach of The Ohio State University and he never even had the best program in Ohio and arguably had the 4th or 5th best behind Kent State, Wright State, Xavier, and Cincinnati. I have several friends that coach high school in Ohio and not one of them had much positive to say about him. He is a nice guy but he could not get the best players in Ohio consistently which is a huge red flag because most kids in Ohio dream of playing at Ohio State. Recruiting was an issue at Ohio State so I do not expect to see much better at Marshall.
