2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

I’ll judge it when I see it. Was told chip and Patricia sucked by this fanbase.
Bingo.

The chicken littles, fresh off of getting owned on the portal pick-ups, are going to lose their shit about this hire, much like last year and Patricia.

We'll see what happens, when it happens. Ryan Day has won 88% of his games and has a championship on his resume. He gets all the leash he wants to pull who he wants into the coaching room with him at this time.

I liked the Patricia hire.

Not a fan of this….mostly because it means we’re leaning even more into a conservative offense, IMO.
The only "bingo" needed saying.

Patricia was a bad head coach but a Brilliant DC. We've got the best WR in the country, not close, and a QB who may be the best as a Sophomore with the best WR in High School coming in, and hire a guy that can't keep a WR or QB? He will have to pull a180 for me to be in favor. I guess anything can happen but it's not what most of us were hoping for.

It's not his job to keep the WR or QBs - that'll be on Day. I'm ok with that.

Day is winning at an 88% clip and has a title plus is in title contention every year. Until that changes, he gets put who he wants on the coaching staff.

I am looking at it like this:

-Day’s playbook.
-Will call plays so Day can be CEO again.
-Not likely to leave five days before conference title game.
-May be run heavy but let’s not pretend he didn’t have WR’s put up good numbers even with the shitty QB’s he was saddled with in the NFL.
-To the run heavy thing…I’d be happy to see some tweaks to OSU’s run game especially in the redzone and I’m thinking so is Day.

Lastly, Day gets the benefit of the doubt from me. And I’m hardcore Lunatic Fringe. But one area Day has owned is coaching hires.

Sorry but Patricia is a literal rocket scientist that was renowned for being a football savant, had a ton of expertise under Belichick and constantly fielded great defenses. He just failed at leading as a head coach. His calling card is simply calling defenses - and Day gave him a perfect home.

I don’t think Athur Smith has once been mistaken for smart. And brings little excitement from his offensive history.

Sorry, I’ll go on record as not liking it. OSU will still find success because Day + talent. Happy to be wrong, obviously. At least he checks the NFL experience box and knows, in theory, how to call a game so he’s not green. Let’s hope it works.
