I don’t understand the fan base clamoring for a guy that doesn’t want to breathe the whole recruiting and NIL circus 24/7 and who himself was 1-3 in The Game when he played for the loaded team every year versus inferior UM squads, on paper.

He’s a NFL coach. He has a job that Jeff Fisher never “technically” got fired from after ten full seasons of backsliding.

The "Vrabel doesn't like recruiting" myth has already been debunked, per that Athletic writer.

Mike Vrabel didn't coach those teams in the 90s. If anything, he was one of many players you look at and say "how the hell did Cooper lose with these guys?"

It’s all in Days hands now..he not the fans knows who’s injured who’s hurting who’s unhappy ..no OSU coach has gotten a chance like this so no reference. Just win baby.

Yep. He can completely redeem himself, put his demise into hyper drive or maybe do something in the middle somehow.

Fascinating situation. I'm hoping he goes slap nuts crazy and wins it all with one double digit win over tsun in there. We shall see.

Rumblings in TN is Vrabel already looking outside his current role as TN HC.

I have no idea…..just the way this shit catches fire on social media anymore. TN has hit a rut and the easy speculation is he “must have his foot out the door”.

There is some weird stuff going on with Titans when an pretty good team fires GM in middle of season while they’re 1st in division.

I don’t have a subscription to “The Athletic” but my buddy that does says multiple writers are predicting Vrabel to OSU and Day to NFL.

It’s all conjecture, but posting bc it’s “out there”…….

FWIW, I have a sub and couldn’t find anything article wise on the OSU or Titans pages about that… if they have the articles names i’d love to read them

I too have an Athletic sub and...I think your buddy is making shit up, to be honest.

And I say that as someone who's been pushing for Vrabel as much as anyone...

I think we've already got a good sense of the real Ryan Day but a lot of people are hoping it isn't true.

yes. and the way Day's QB's always seem to fall just a few tads short in the national spotlight, when things are on the line shows the same thing. like coach, like protege QB.

the only question mark for me right now is what was the working relationship really like between Day and Wilson, and whether the post-Wilson offense will look more like the 1st quarter offense or the 2nd quarter offense? i have a strong suspicion it's going to look like the 2nd quarter offense, but, let's see.

as well, now, we're seeing another young (and relatively inexperienced) assistant get promoted. it makes three in a row... Dennis, Fleming, Bailey. definitely a signal and a big shift away from whatever Wilson brought to the table, and another clue that maybe Wilson and Day didn't always see eye-to-eye when it comes to how to run the x's and o's of the offense.

it will also be interesting to see what Alford does in the offseason, because i don't suspect that he stays exactly where he is position / salary wise.

a BUNCH of speculation from a guy who knows absolutely jack about whatever is/was going on at the WHAC... but i figure it's open season to bloviate like this in the new era of professional collegiate sports.

EDIT: another piece of the puzzle, for me, is that day brought in Knowles knowing that he wants nothing to do with managing the defense. i think that was a good call. but on the offensive side it's looking like Day isn't going in that direction - ie no hint at an interest in going outside the program to bring in a big name. which means that he likely has no intention of letting go the the reins on how the offense runs. i hope i'm wrong and the offseason might show that, but, again... we'll see.

wrong thread, wrong time of the year, utter speculation, meh...
