Need me some Marcus. His recruiting ability has been phenomenal, and at Cinci of all places.

I just don’t see that happening. Schiano is probably staying. He provides stability and head coaching experience. Grinch is a young guy they brought in to lead the defense whenever Schiano goes. And Marcus isn’t taking an LB coach job. He’s earned more in the profession than that already.

EDIT: I’d be happy with Laurinaitis if he ever wants to get into coaching. He has a radio show in the area but I doubt that satisfies a competitor like him.

Totally agree about Marcus. Not happening.

Grinch..... if OK is actually interested.... might help himself and move. Shrug. Don't really care. Personally, I think he's bait for bigger fish at OK, but I'm a cynical old coot. In the end, he has nothing to offer tOSU that we can't get elsewhere.

Schiano was already supposed to be gone, and Grinch is his replacement.

Edit: y'all are insane if you want Schiano over Grinch. Saban coveted the guy dearly, and his D at Wazzoo of all places, was outstanding.

His D at Wazoo wasn’t ‘outstanding’, in fact the cougars D was better this year.

The play of the safeties wasn’t up to snuff.

I’m hesitant to give up Schiano.
He has been an elite DC.
What he did at Rutgers as a HC should put him in the HoF, first ballot.

I posit his experience as a HC would provide valuable counsel to Day.

He also has a Q rating and is a high end recruiter, especially in the fertile NJ area.

My biggest concern as it relates to Day is recruiting, especially nationally.

Bama offense is one thing... but their defense is a whole other story... I believe the exact same offensive game plan we used against scum would have worked perfectly against Bama

I'm starting to be torn on wanting him gone now for the points that you made. But also a stronger point is, our defensive scheme looked down right awful this year for MOST of the year. Go back and look at some of those soul crushing long runs that the D gave up, and that falls at the feet of the DC. I understand that he's a great recruiter, I get that, but if we're bringing in top talent and getting gashed weekly by lesser rated talent, what does it matter then?

This breakdown shows us giving up big plays to guys who were not for the most part former 4 and 5star kids, and getting massive holes opened by OL that weren't highly recruited either. Davis who is in charge of LBs, has them massively out of position and having to play catch up all the time, due to Schiano's scheme. Grinch is the main question mark here, as I believe injecting the team with youthful staff will also pay off in recruiting, and his scheme can't possibly be worse than Schiano's.
Freeman is a pipedream, hire a young LB coach to focus solely on them and let Grinch run the defense and Safeties.
