Vomit. I am not, even motley a cat person, and this is disturbing beyond words.

Considering that animal torture is the #1predictor of future serial killers, I wonder how many of those Michigan Men took their game to the next level.

HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Here are the options:

1. Lanning - I'd be surprised to see him leave for another B10 school, especially with the resources they have. He's also had the same issues as Day without any of the successes.
2. DeBoer - Knee deep in the shit at Bama trying to find his offense and putting out fires on defense.
3a. Brian Kelly/Dabo Sweeny - I'd rather set myself on fire.
3b. Lane Kiffin - no
3c. Kyle Whittingham - A modern day Tressel but has lost his last 5 bowl games
4. Lance Leipold - Was a hot name that has started the season 1-5.
5. Fickell - A very good coach, not an improvement
6. Marcus Freeman - I think he clearly does everything worse than Day. If he improves might be an option in a decade.
7. A hot coordinator or an FCS coach like Jimmy Rogers - Not someone you hire expecting them to come in and immediately win a title. Tressel did it, but I wouldn't count on that happening again for OSU.

I guess you could throw Sark in there but I don't think he'd leave Texas and it's not like he's won a bunch in the CFP.
That’s some ugly shit

2024 tOSU Defense Discussion

On the other hand, if Knowles knows that the DL cannot generate pressure, why not adjust the scheme to take that into consideration. If indeed LJ is "sabotaging" Knowles job as a DC why allow it to continue from his standpoint ? Why not say it's either him or me ? He is the defense's boss and earns a couple of Million Dollars per year to do so. Why not do boss shit ?
It’s been widely rumored for a few years that LJ was against the Jack, which was a staple of Knowles defense. Have we seen the Jack? If so who is it?

LJ hasn’t produced a standout DE since CY. Short of going back to a 4-3, which I’m okay with personally, what’s Knowles move?

I’m more of why is it allowed to continue from Days standpoint? Maybe Knowles doesn’t have the authority to make that move.

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

The issue is it's the same problems showing up for 6 years now. You can't blame fans for coming to the conclusion that this is what a Ryan Day team looks like, and it's what we should expect in the future.

We don't have to win every time. We do have to win more than 1 big game in 6 years.
What is Day, 1-7 against top 5 teams?

HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Not my job. I read this same nonsense in the Chris Holtmann thread for years. The fans don't have a great idea who to replace him with, oh ACTUALLY ohio state isn't all that accomplished historically in this sport so we should all just feel lucky we have someone running a clean program... the gap between OSU and your average cfb program is massive. There's dozens of guys in the sport who could take our massive resources and go 10-2 every year, lose to michigan every year, and lose every post season game not played during a pandemic.

Here are the options:

1. Lanning - I'd be surprised to see him leave for another B10 school, especially with the resources they have. He's also had the same issues as Day without any of the successes.

I think there are some coaching studs in their 40's who have experience that will make the jump to major P5s in the very near future....Bob Chesney and Jon Sumrall come to mind. That said, I'm not remotely close to even considering wanting Day gone. He's made the changes we wanted, i.e. hire a true OC, and he still has some more to go (unfortunately, looking at you LJ), but we lost by 1 on the road in a game we did most critical moments wrong. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and no reason to jump to conclusions yet.
Agreed and this should’ve happened at the end of last season.

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

Agree with the Day needs to start winning the big games. Disagree on running the table. We could still lose another game and land in the CFP at 10-2.

You definitely don't want to risk that 2nd regular season loss. If they got to Indy without losing again and lost there I'd say we are surely in. a 2nd regular season loss is going to leave you sweating depending on other results throughout the year.

2024 tOSU Defense Discussion

This is not new and has been a speculated issue since Knowles came on board. If true, and Day has allowed it to fester, then I would be immensely disappointed in Day to allow it. If you were Knowles and brought into run this defense, but saddled with a DL coach who won’t play ball, how would that work.

Think on it.

One coach needs to be in charge of defense.

Not Knowles and Johnson working independently as has been indicated.

DC Jim Knowles (Official Thread)

Is there any justification/validation to the consideration that Knowles and Johnson are not aligned, and therefore, Jim is hand-cuffed/limited in the schemes that he would like to play? It's been stated consistently over time by The Podcast personnel.

FTR, I'm not excusing the poor defensive play as it rears its head. I'm simply wondering if there might be some different causation within it.

HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

There's only one coach I would trade Ryan Day with and that's very very unlikely to happen (Saban). I don't think I would even trade Coach Day for Urban, even though he was obviously a great coach for us. Coach Day is fine where he is, at least for now, what he needs to be doing is thinking if it's worth it or not to attack the DL, DC and perhaps OL coaching market to get the best possible people to perform their job at said positions at an elite level - Coaching and Recruiting.
