HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Aside from the poor clock management late in the game vs Oregon, Day just doesn’t seem to publicly hold his assistants accountable. Perhaps he is ripping them behind closed doors. But his D is simply great vs weaklings and average vs similarly talented teams.

Day had a great game plan vs Clemson in ‘19 and ‘20…..horrible luck in ‘19 caused us to lose that one.
Day had his team ready to play vs Georgia. Ran out of healthy offensive players and Ransom slipped on the ‘80 yard TD

But the problem I see is he give his assistants 1 year too many. That goes for Frye and LJ. They both should have been gone after last season.

We need killer coaches, not has-beens or nice guys.

Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year!)

If I could just pluck reasonable FA's out of the pool for next season they would go this way in order of preference:

Pete Alonso, 30yr old, 5.0 WAR. Gonna cost a lot but if we spend it on him we have Steer and CES for the RF spot and backup at 1B/DH.

Teoscar Hernandez , 32yr old, 5.6 WAR. Goes straight into the RF position, only if Alonso weren't an option.

Walker Buehler, 30yr old, -.02 WAR - not a great season with the Dodgers but I think he's s serious contender for Top4 here and maybe an Ace if he gets his stuff back on point.

Caleb Ferguson 28yr old, 1.6 WAR. West Jefferson graduate, born in Columbus, Ohio.

I wouldn't go with anyone over 33-34 years old to mesh with the group we've got. Old arms are also not what I want to be wondering about from week to week.

Well if it continues to hold true that a B1G team travelling 2+ time zones has lost ( with the exception of PSU in their cripple fight at USC)), Oregon may face a bit of a challenge. Us OSU fans know all too well about the record Purdue has inexplicably beating top 5 teams at home especially at night. Oregon visits W. Lafyette tonight.

I hope so but I'm expecting this

Oregon 77
Purdue 3

Agreed. There’s a fine line between cheating and gamesmanship. This is squarely on the gamesmanship side of that line. Clever, but completely within the rules.

Yup. Except they just changed the rules. So if they do it now and the refs DON'T give the one team the option to turn back the clock, then the refs are the goobs.

The days of seeing a straight up 4-3 defense are over unless you're playing a service academy or someone dumb enough to be under center around 80% of the time (Iowa). I didn't read the rest because unless you come to grips with that, none of the rest of it matters.

The gist of the rest they're all grown ups earning millions of dollars to make decisions, and while I think that there are people who are more responsible for the defense's current predicament than others, the truth is they (JK, LJ, RD) are all to blame. And yes I know that what I say here has no bearing in what happens in real life, whether I accept the situation or not, I came to terms with that a long time ago xD.

I agree with your last statement 100%. And I tip my hat (if I were wearing a hat, that is) to him for exploiting that. I'm not happy he did, but good on him to do that to his advantage.
