Would it, though? In 2025, he was:

6-7 from 20-29 (Fielding was 6-7, too)
7-8 from 30-39 (Fielding was 7-8, too)
7-8 from 40-49 (Fielding was 3-4 in 2025, but was 7-8 in 2024)
0-0 from 50+ (Fielding was 0-1)

He has a career-long of 50 made in 2024. Fielding has a career-long of 49 made in 2025z

He’s never missed a “very important kick” like Fielding has, but he’s also never had the opportunity to choke in a huge situation.

On paper, he’s basically the exact same player.

Uhh did you watch this whole season we were 5 yard passes the the whole year. We weren't constantly trying for chunk plays there is a reason we were having 10-18 plays drives. Day called more chunk plays this game yes and he had them. The QB was just shook. You need both. You can't throw short all the time or teams sit on them like they they did on the screen and you start getting ints cause you compressed the field. The issue is we were missing the mid range game most of the season. It was 0-10 yard passes or deep balls. The 15 yard outs and ins the 12 yard slants etc seemed to disappear a lot.

I know it seems lazy to call him a Kacmarek replacement because of the Ohio U parallels, but his play style is also really similar. He has two years of eligibility left.

Holy shit with this guy. His latest argument:
"you realize in the sec, someone has to lose right? Kentucky could have 30% blue chip ratio. They’re still going to have to play Oklahoma, bama, tn, South Carolina, lsu, Texas, and vandy this year". I didn't even have to use any brain cells to counter that point.

The Texans-Colts line was Houston -9.5.

So that Tommy Togiai touchdown did nothing (Texans won by 8). Good for Togiai though.

We need a wholesale modernization of the offense, on the level of what Day brought taking the offense over from Urban. Our pass offense asks too much of the line and the QB, and gives too much initiative over to the opposing defensive coordinator to be aggressive. Everything is 2-3 reads plus a dump down, trying to give our WRs a chance to beat their guy for a big damaging play. But when we want to go from 1st and 10 to just 2nd and 5, or needing 3-5 yards on third down... we need schemed open plays that are only designed to get just that much. I think this will also take a lot of pressure off of the red zone offense, where you can't really depend on WRs beating their guy because the end zone is an extra defender.

Even at the NFL level, you see this everywhere. I watch a lot of Bears. That has been the recipe for Caleb Williams this season and the major adjustment Ben Johnson has made. You see it in SF in how they use McCaffrey and Kittle. You saw it from Miami on how they use their #10 guy (forget his name), or just how they consistently get off to a good start on first down and convert third and makeable.

In a pretty shocking turn, I think offensive schemes have left Ryan Day behind and he is now running a pretty dated scheme. I think he has always asked his QBs to do a lot... he wants to load them up with several options and reads on each play. But Mendoza (6th year senior), Beck (who knows how long he's been in college) are beating you with 1 and 2 read passing games... at some point you have to see what is working against your defense and think "maybe I should incorporate some of this".

My preference would be a young, outside hire OC who has exposure to these modern offensive systems. I think JT Barrett has learned a ton and gets rave reviews in both Detroit and now Chicago. I would give him a look. I don't really know lots of coaching trees and names... not my bag... but modernization needs to be the name of the game.

Day saw that we needed wholesale scheme changes on defense and to his credit he made good hires there back to back. He has the chance to make a similarly impactful decision now on the offensive side of the ball... but will he make it given that he sees offense as 'his' thing?

Still want to see what they look like in a total overhaul next year. They’re still going to be very good because their coach is an absolute fucking maniac (and I love that).

I'm so tired of trying to rationalize with these inbreds on social media. They tried to say everyone looks good when facing Rutgers, Purdue and Northwestern every season. To which I pointed out that they have Kentucky, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt taking up space at the bottom of their conference most of the time. The response was that Kentucky, Miss. St. and Vandy have more "blue chips" than Rutgers, Purdue and Northwestern. I don't even know what that means, but I hope he's not trying to say they're blue bloods, nor anything other than easy wins most seasons....
