I have no idea if this refers to Grinch/OSU or Oklahoma. Either way, probably not a great look for Alex.

Are you SERIOUS? A school we have had success at. A school that is a freaking football machine? A pipeline school.

Now I am not sure if it is the coach that recruits FL's responsibility, or the position coaches? But for this kid to make that comment, especially if he ends up coming here now when someone spends some time recruiting him, that is worse than a bad look by one of two guys on the current staff.

So I’m reading that as him having been completely checked out and not recruiting? That’s pretty pathetic on Grinch’s part.

I guess the flip-side is at least he didn’t lead the kid on. But it surely shows Grinch hasn’t had his head in the game recruiting (and, conjecture, possibly coaching), for some time.

Exactly... honestly as an Ohio kid and an up and coming coordinator he should be ashamed.

He had a direct hand in making our defense the worse we've ever had and couldn't even recruit 1 kid to play the position that he coaches.

Incompetence at its finest.

Morning Constitutional: What to Make of Alex Grinch’s Departure?

So how much of a loss is this? Who knows.

In Grinch’s one season, the Buckeyes had arguably their worst defense ever. But this was still viewed as Greg Schiano’s defense, so Grinch can skate a bit.

But what about the position he coached? As OSU’s safeties coach, Grinch was on hand for one of the most inconsistent job searches we’ve seen. That is until he had no choice but to play Brendon White, who turned out to be pretty damn good. Before that, however, Isaiah Pryor and Jahsen Wint struggled to find consistency.

And then there is the recruiting angle. According to data from 247Sports.com, in Grinch’s seven seasons as a Power 5 assistant coach, he has been the primary recruiter for just one 4-star signee. Every other player he signed as the primary recruiter was a 3-star or lower.

As Ryan Day said when he was announced as Ohio State’s new head coach, he was going to put together a staff of excellent recruiters. Could that have been Grinch moving forward? Possibly. After all, he was only here for one year. We don’t really know all that much about him, and we certainly don’t know what Ohio State’s defense would look like under his complete command.

However, it feels like if Ryan Day wanted that to happen, he could have made it happen.

Instead, he let Grinch walk, which should probably tell you all you need to know when wondering what to think about this whole thing.
