Love me some JT. One of my all time favorite players. I think my favorite "leadership" moment of his was when he went ham in the 4th qtr of the crazy comeback against PSU. Bucks had just scored to pull within one score and JT was fired up, running and jumping all the way down the OSU sideline yelling "This is OUR fucking house! Our house!" at the entire team.
I would really like to see him on staff in some capacity.

same! his locker room clips that have surfaced since he left have been awesome to watch and really show why he was so respected.

"I have covered this team more than any other team in my career and I have been around Jeremiah a lot, and this is not him, and I think that frustration was layered," Klatt said. "The frustration was when he was open, he wasn't getting targeted; the lack of targets was frustrating to him and then the routes he was running."
And Klatt doesn't believe the problem can be pinned entirely on freshman quarterback Luke Fahey, either. He took particular issue with Ohio State's lack of creativity in getting its best offensive player involved.
"The fact of the matter is there was virtually no creativity with Jeremiah Smith [on] how to get him the ball in specific ways," Klatt said. "It was just, we're going to line him up out there and then if they take him away with the coverage, we'll just throw it to other guys. That can't be the plan."
That's a pretty damning assessment of Ohio State's offensive approach, especially considering Smith went over two hours of real time without a target after his 32-yard catch in the first quarter.
Klatt's criticism of Smith is worth considering, but his larger point should resonate with the Buckeyes: A player as talented as Smith shouldn't disappear from the game plan for nearly an entire half. Ohio State has to find better ways to get the ball in his hands, especially if it wants to finish the season on a high note with wins over Northwestern, Nebraska and Michigan.

Lol just saying shit to say it at this point. Day and his staff have been flat out bad this season, but this is unfounded nonsense about him not being able to admit he was wrong. Maybe go find a heavy bag instead of ranting like a lunatic

Not him. I am thinking he was from West Virginia. RJ Coleman? This will kill me if I don't figure it out.

Shit is unacceptable. Is Ryan Day just a cuck on the sideline? Or is he going to fix this fucking shit?
