HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

[Jake]

Im not gonna lie……would love to see Finn move down the road from Toledo to Columbus.

Yeah, because Finn is better than Stroud and erases all of the other issues.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

As disheartening as this year and last year have been, let’s remember that Jimbo started 0-5 against OSU and pussed out in year 6. UM fans were ready for him to leave and he was begging for an NFL job. It’s been two incredibly disappointing and agonizing losses for OSU, but Day is no idiot and I DO believe he is capable of getting this turned around.

Sometimes when a team loses a flawed player, good things happen. Maybe Stroud leaving will force Day to really evaluate how to win as a complete team that needs multiple contributors to push through.

McCord lacks the flashiness, but maybe he has that something that makes things happen, and has a better grasp of what is happening around him.

Sometimes a blood letting is not bad.

In the end, this was on the coaches, but they need to get more creative to find ways to win. Not just put the ball in your supposed Heisman juggernaut to think through his reads.

It just never seemed to jive completely.

It’s a what have you done for me business..and day is 0-2 the last 2 years and that idiot in Ann abor is 2-0. The did duck us in 2020..so what at this point. Not personal to you just saying go out and get the dub don’t wanna hear excuses from day or anyone

 

[DaveyBoy]

Finn is a pipe dream.
That would clean out the QB room.

Day doesn’t value the QB run. Period.
It’s obvious in recruiting.

Stroud, Ewers, and wait until you see Riola.

I don’t get it other then it helps your chances of keeping the QB healthy.

We have become a throwing QB/WR centric program.

I think it impacts our toughness, running game and defense.

Pass first teams tend to not have elite defense.

I agree 100%

Our 2 titles came through Well rounded offenses with QBs who ran when the D gave that up……and stud defenses who weren’t constantly on the field

I have seen enough of Stroud. Nice young man with golden arm. But no awareness of the field

 

[brodybuck21]

The whole season felt disjointed right from game 1. Only 21 pts at home vs nd...

I don’t disagree with any of that. I’m not interested in excuses, either. Results matter and, despite the results against the rest of the B1G over the last two years, the performance against UM has been sorely lacking. I want and expect better, too.

What bothers me most of about this. Is Ryan Day went out of his fucking way all season and hurt us in games to disprove what Harbaugh and Gattis said only to fail in the same way. There needs to be some hard self scouting on what D's are doing to our offense especially there's. And some acceptance of who you are as a football team and realize you aren't ever going to be Harbaugh in the run game don't waste valuable season reps trying to prove you can be.

I desperately want to believe that. But I saw John Cooper on the sideline today and that never got better

Exfuckingzactly…all these weapons and we wanna get the tough 1-2 yard on the ground like Michigan…that’s not us day. And in the most important game u played scared..

 

[1926Buckeyes]

The crazy thing, is we really didn't even pass today. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. We have these talented receivers, and it was just not utilized in any way that played to our strengths.

I think Day is throwing horseshit at everybody when he say's he has special plays drawn up for this game.

Even with time, CJ never looked confident today, and hasn't since MSU. I thought (blindly hoped) it was an aberration, but it's clear that the passing broke down following the bye. Outside a few explosive plays, it's mostly been short throws, missed throws/drops, and screens with little YAC. It's almost as if Day hoped they'd turn a corner instead of addressing it.

They needed to lean on the running game more, but it's hard to blame Day for being cautious with a freshman and an LB that switched back to RB 3 weeks prior. I think he'll look back and deeply regret not riding Hayden as a bellcow.

I really wonder how much of the offense remained planned around JSN in the hope that he would be back. Or how much they had to retain certain schemes because that's what they practiced since Spring. Day deserves a lot of blame, but JSN solves so many issues that the offense has.

For all the talk about a mobile QB, it's other positions that i think Day needs to reevaluate to run the offense he wants. He wants to run zone but his RBs don't get upfield. He wants to run screens but his WRs/TEs can't block or are unwilling to. And he lacks a TE that makes contested catches.

Man what the hell happened to Stover. Stover from the first few games probably makes every single one of those catches.. His hands were rediculous and probably a few more of those blocks

I thought after the Wisconsin game he was never the same. He for sure fell off a cliff though late this season. Then again he hasn't played this much football in a very long time.

Also I agree with what a lot are saying.

I love CJ but I'm also ready to see our next QB. No more dejected body language, someone who will put his shoulder down for a touchdown from the 5 yard line and someone who will light our offenses ass up on the sidelines if we have no juice.

I also obviously was very vocal this week about not playing their game but playing ours... at this point though I don't know what our game is.

too busy trying to explain how he and him teammates aren’t soft..when in fact according to Michigan they are who they said they were..

Day seems to run or build everything around the individual player and not the system or process. That’s why we look disjointed when a major guy goes down despite having even higher ranked recruits. That’s why he talks about guys playing more t they never see the field. He makes promises to individual plays he can’t keep
