Bill O’Brien (HC Boston College, aka BillyBob O’Buttchin et al)

[Zurp]

I can't help but remember that he was Penn State's coach when Ohio State beat them 63-14. He said stuff like, "We're going to remember this." Is this hire his revenge? Is it still revenge when Urban Meyer was the coach in 2013, not Ryan Day. Ryan Day wasn't even on staff in 2013, was he?

The Patriots had a DC as an OC the year before BoB, when BoB showed up, the offense actually got worse.

If I were you guys, I’d go ahead and start rooting on for Bama now that the great satan is gone.

I didn't see any news about Harbaugh being hired?

 

[SEREbuckeye]

Solid analysis on BoB hiring and his role.

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

I thought it was a tough day for Bama when Saban retired, this has to be a close second for OSU. O’Brien is terrible. No creativity.he doesn’t scheme matchups, which I think is essential for CFB.

In Billy O'Brutus we trust...

I hope this doesn't force me to break a tv in November.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I honestly think this hire will be the final nail in the coffin for Day’s tenure at OSU.

LOL this is nonsense. You're acting like he's Tim Beck. If Day gets fired, it's not going to be because we have an average at worst OC.

So how're we feeling about this one ?

Meh. Not my favorite coordinator. He’s okay, not great. It could work out. But there will definitely be some WTF moments.

 

[Woody1968]

I don't know whether this is a good or bad hire, but I do know that I hope he doesn't pop in to have a look at the early pages of this thread.

Seriously, I did like that he seemed to get that Ped State was a cult and jumped the first chance he got. His teams there did exceed expectations, if I recall.

OSU has one of the best defenses in the country, if not the best next season. So, OSU needs a serviceable offense, and O'Brien's offenses have been more than serviceable.

O'Brien's offenses were solid, and he will be calling Day's plays, and Day will be the final arbiter.

Day get's to actually think through things during a game, especially big things. And will still be involved with the offense.

I don't see where there is a bad side here, and confused by the naysayers.

 

[BB73]

Ballsack O’Bobbin, I didn’t see this coming.

But last week I said that Day should pick up somebody that was on Saban’s staff, so we’ve got that.

Ballsack O’Bobbin, I didn’t see this coming.

Do we have to come up with a new name for him every time he fails in 3rd and short now?

Some of you haven't done the required reading

And his OC has HC experience, which we have seen be beneficial when Wilson was here.

 

[heisman]

Some are “Sayin” that he’s bringing a “Jul(ian)“ of a player with him.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

There's no way Day is giving BOB carte blanche with the offense, right? Even if he gives up play-calling, I can't imagine Day just letting somebody else run the entire offense. I'm thinking BOB is going to be an experienced voice who will come in an provide a second opinion and help Day with the overall gameplan, not just implement his own.

 

[SEREbuckeye]

I’ll take this intensity over anything we’ve seen since Urban left.
