day is "code switching"... conscious and intentional, or not, i don't know. but it shows a clear and direct influence of tress and urban mentoring him.

Agreed on every point, but especially this part. I have openly called for this scenario for a long time and not that my opinion matters, I just thought it would be the perfect to connect the greats at OSU to get the job done. It really helps to have those guys come back and tell their stories to give you the blueprint. I have lived it in the past and you don't understand the impact until you live it.

Take every ounce of experience and wisdom from those guys in getting to the title...that is exactly what Day did and it was beautiful to watch.

I don't think so, or at least in the spirit I meant it. It is more of an attestation of Pay It Forward and Day finding the right recipe. Woody passed along his efforts down the line and we can go through all the great coaches here, but we have a great lineage of coaches that have wanted to help the next guy in line.

All the credit to Day, but listening to good mentors is part of the credit...having coached for many years, if something seemed off I went back to the people that created success before me. Day did an excellent job accepting help from those folks and converting it into success, that is the sign of a great coach. Innovate but do not rely on your own mind.

From my end, I am just happy that UFM and Tress could help. But Day did the fucking bid and won it.

i guess i always assumed that they were all sort of mentoring him all these years… it seems like maybe that wasn’t the case, which is a shame. to have those guys (cooper’s around but he doesn’t count, in my book) around and willing to listen and to share is absolutely priceless.

and only an immature stubborn “i want to do it myself, my way, on my terms…” young buck would turn those offers away. but, i’ve said before that i think day has turned the corner and the hardships and the real adversities have helped him mature and have crystallized his identity as a great teacher and a great coach.

leaders don’t live on secluded islands… at least not the successful ones.

the successful ones are humble enough to know where they could use some help. everyone needs a coach.

this, even if it’s true, takes nothing away from day… if anything, it shows that he is maturing and becoming more confident and let others (who have been there) in and soak up their experience and wisdom.

i’m always surprised how many guys who take over leadership roles turn their noses up at letting the guy who was in the chair before them share their experiences and their methods.

leaders have huge egos. and some can be very fragile, especially if they are young and idealistic. it takes a big man to be open to criticism and advice (from people who care about you).

i was happy to hear day quoting the book “good to great” in one of his post-championship interviews. that’s a very very good book that talks about what are the qualities and characteristics that separate good companies (and leaders) from great ones. and day quoting it means that he is searching and learning and growing…

and that’s the only (primary) necessary ingredient in great leadership in my imo. “good to great” calls that the “hedgehog concept” :biggrin:

Define shit behavior. I don’t see it in Herbie. I see it in Des. But beyond that you seem to be suggesting that if your boss was paying you 4 mil, you’d go against his corp guidelines to promote your personal agenda.

If you need more than Mike Brewster to remind you that he paid for his tattoos and Herbshit still has not apologized / eaten crow in public, then I don’t know what more you could ask for.

Was that a long time ago? Yup.
Was he wrong then? Yup.
Has his behavior toward the program changed since? Nope.

He’s got a great image for himself and sometimes it comes a the expense of tOSU and players. So, I’m going to ride with my guys and say a big fuck you to him and the world wide leader.

This offseason is going to be horrific. Basking in the glory of a national championship day after day, waking up every morning with a healthy woody, watching the games over and over, wearing championship gear around the office to the horror of TCUN and ND coworkers. How will we ever cope?

Re-watched the game last night. I recommend it as a coping method. In the end, all is sunshine.
