Game Thread #2 tOSU at #3 Oregon, Sat. Oct. 12, 7:30 pm ET, NBC

Normally, I'd say he shouldn't go anywhere this year but his seat is white hot next year, but I'm reevaluating a bit. He's been allowed to go after the coordinators he needs. He's given up the play calling. He was given a $20 NIL fund. Connor Stalions is gone, so that's no longer an excuse. While I'm not too torn up over the loss last night, I do think he needs to not lose another game, thump the hell out of tsun, get to Indy and win a rematch with Oregon and at least get to the title game in the playoff. Anything short, and I might not be calling for his head, but I won't consider it an outrage if he does go.

He was cheated out of two playoff spots by Harbaugh, and the year he did get in, he had to face that UGA team in the first round instead of TCU. That's over though, and now he needs to do something.

For all the gnashing of teeth over Knowles, if there's one defensive coach that should be on the hot seat, it's LJ. Neither Sawyer nor JTT bothered to show up last night. In fact, both have historically been completely hot and cold from one week to the next. Overall last night for the team: 0 sacks and only 2 TFL. Maybe LJ really was this DL savant or maybe he just recruited three generational talents in a row in the Bosa Brothers and Young.

And that doesn't even factor in the rumors that he refuses to play nice with the person who's supposed to be his boss.

Yep the lack of development along the DL is staggering. This rolls backs to Day though in the end for continuing to keep LJsr in that position.

Hi

I ducked (no pun intended) out early as I could see how things were going. IF Oregon was not in the B1G, I wouldn't care so much for a 1 pt loss on the road. But that is a huge hit. OSU has to run the table now, and do it convincingly. There is no margin of error. Day screws this up, I suggest OSU starts looking for a new HC who can win the big games

Howard threw for over 300 yards with 2 TD and no interceptions, and he got the ball into JJ and Egbuka's hands regularly (combined for just under 200 yds with 2TD). His QB rating last night was higher than Gabriel's. I can see Trey, but Quin had a horrible game last night and averaged 1.9 yards a carry. I love the kid so far this year, but last night Oregon had his number, and he wasn't the solution to anything.

I know you're simply responding to my post and the points I brought up. But it occurred to me that the real issue to be discussed is the defense letting us down. Oregon scored more on us than freaking Idaho allowed.

My only issue with Howard is that in clutch moments at the end, he was falling down, not in the with time management, and missing key reads. He was put in a tough position no doubt and I blame play calling way more, but a champion caliber player finds a way to win.

But this thread is Ryan Day, so I'll circle back to that. Howard got us to the point where it made decisions simple. Day overthought those decisions and he fucked his now narrowed down job up. I'm the guy's biggest fan, but I've had enough unless he really delivers the rest of the year.

To be clear, that means no more losses, a conference title and a title run. With this roster and the standard at Ohio State, nothing else is acceptable.

Here’s a thing if you guys decide to move on from ryan day, you will have to absolutely nail the replacement hire.

There are only three coaches right now who have one national titles still actively coaching in college football: a washed up Mac brown, Kirby and Dabo.

I don’t see any way that Dabo would leave Clemson, especially for Ohio State given the history, and I don’t think you guys would want him anyway.

I really don’t see Kirby ever leaving Georgia unless it’s because some sort of scandal or violations that finally catch up to him which would not make him viable.

So basically, you have a lot of really good coaches who have their warts just like ryan day.

This issue is however, right now your AD Ross Bjork. Truth be told he has a questionable history of nailing hires and doing the right thing. Just based on his reputation. Maybe that reputation is not accurate. I don’t know firsthand I just know from interacting with fans from the programs that he had previously worked for. So moving on, you have to really have faith that Björk will get it right.

It's not about finding a guy who already has won a National Championship. Or even a guy who has a team that is in the running for the playoff every year.

It's about identifying a guy who's done more with less somewhere else and can use all of the advantages Ohio State has to offer. Do better than waxing the Northwesterns and Iowas of the world and then shitting his pants whenever he meets competition that's equal or close to our level.

Ohio State's program is one of the premiere programs in the country. Our roster is loaded with talent. Our HC is given blank checks to hire coordinators. Hell, our head coach is given blank checks to hire another P5 team's Head Coaches as coordinators. We are given $20,000,000 in NIL funds just to get over the hump of beating Top 5 teams.

There are coaches out there who can take advantage of all Ohio State offers and do more than 2 conference titles and two bowl game wins in 6 years.

he’s already beaten Bama at home once.

and scored almost twice as many points in that one game than the previous neanderthal did in all 3 of his Bama home games combined.

I remember that year he beat Bama once.

He also crapped the bed against a terrible Jimbo led Aggy team that year.

Maybe we should print cups for BK saying that "He beat Bama by 1 point at home once!!!"

The only name from the list I would truly chase is Saban, I don't dislike Coach Day I think he can lead us to glory but structural changes need to be done in the program, you can't be 1-7 against top 5 teams specially when you are a top 5 team as well. Get another DC, analyse if it's worth it to continue with LJ and Frye and most importantly is it time for Marotti to go ? Also like you've said he needs to stop playing not to lose in these big games the Clemson game we lost was the opposite of that since then we've turtled a bit in some critical moments.

I say LJ goes at the end of the season. Should’ve been gone end of last season. Knowles gets 1 more year to implement his system without LJ in the way.

Frye, not sure. Line looks better this season, which may be Chip’s influence. 26 recruiting looking good early.

Maybe some of the ones whose entire lives aren't wrapped up in being a tcun fan. For a lot of them, I really do believe that they are truly delusional and no amount of evidence will get them to process that it was because of the cheating. And of course, you have zero leadership and self-awareness coming out of the university administration, so there's no splash of reality coming from inside the building. No matter what the NCAA eventually releases, they'll say it was all a conspiracy to get Harbaugh and tsun, and they'll believe it.

Hell, we had some too. Tressel didn't lie to keep his players eligible; he was secretly working for the FBI. There was a perfectly reasonable explanation for why Urban scrubbed his cell phone. And I believe that they sincerely believed it with every fiber of their being. The foosball can be fun, but for some it can just melt their fucking brains.

For those naming replacements, here is who you make offers to in order: Saban. Cignetti. Vrabel. Offer Nick $20m and let him say no. Then work down the list.

Saban retired because he didn't like they was college football has evolved with the NIL and plyers demanding more money or they will leave. Has that changed? No. So he won't be coming back to coaching. All reports is that Vrabel has no desire to coach at the college level. You have to like what you are seeing out of Cignetti so that would be possible if Day can't beat Michigan this year.

For those saying this game doesn't matter: if we bond together, this could be what flips the switch and leads to a run for a title. If we fall apart, we drop one of our next games and all the sudden you aren't a shoe-in with 2 big ten losses despite the best roster according to Urban and Tressel. I think the game most definitely matters. Time will tell.

For those naming replacements, here is who you make offers to in order: Saban. Cignetti. Vrabel. Offer Nick $20m and let him say no. Then work down the list.

Day is 10-8 vs top 10.

Tressel was 12-8, Urban was 20-8. They were also national champions by year 3 and went 16-1 against UM too.

Personally, I've seen enough to now be in the camp of "I'll believe it when I see it" - disappointed in the defense and the same exact crap - we play not to lose and we should be the fucking cat. Ryan wanted to keep it close and steal the W... Almost did. Maybe next time attack, attack, and attack. Empty all your chambers.

No excuse for not knowing the rules - I am sorry - that's fucking nuts. We can agree to disagree on everything else but no fucking excuse to not know the rules. I don't see how we can win it all without luck, and losing the left tackle is fucking horrendous for our title shots, too. The weaknesses are going to stack up.
