Yeah, because Finn is better than Stroud and erases all of the other issues. :roll1:

Im not sure I understand the point about Stroud…? He won’t be here next year. He’s going to enter the draft.

We certainly have other issues that need to be addressed but I’m in agreement with many others that a mobile QB would help tremendously. Not a knock on CJ, who is an incredible QB. But we’ve seen many games now where the ability to run would be extremely useful and open up the power run game we’ve seemingly lacked last 2 years.

I think Day need some new staff to bring a fresh perspective on the offense. I think some of the problem is Day's offense has just gotten stale and there is so much tape on the tendencies of this offense. I'm not sure changing playcallers without a true overhaul of the offense makes much of a difference. Teams know what the Buckeyes want to do and what they do with formations/personnel.

I think there is an advantage to cycling through different OC and bring in someone from outside the program every couple years. They bring new plays and can change the tendencies because they have to deal with different personnel while still maintaining some of the previous offense.

College football is really about constantly evolving an offense even if you have a good offense because it doesn't allow opposing defenses to really key in on tendencies and predict what a team is going to do. Football in general is just about trying to catch the defense off guard.

I'm 100% with you here. Things get stale and it's on the head coach to bring in fresh blood to keep it working.

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.

This is a valid point as well.

It comes across as making excuses, but I’m really not.

The Covid year really benefited Michigan tremendously and gave them the cushion they needed for Harbaugh to get that roster to what he always wanted which was Redshirt Seniors, Seniors, and Juniors littered all over the field. He has finally built what he had at Stanford.

tOSU is always going to look like the favorite on paper with our first rd picks and talented sophomores all over field. Harbaugh is going to ride into the game with 22 year olds and take his chances with the experience and mostly grown men.

I also think a good HC would have the foresight to not let the offense get stale before making the change. It's really not a bad thing for a team's OC to move on after a couple seasons to being a HC somewhere else. Have Day as HC brings a consistent foundation for the offense, having up and coming OC use the Buckeyes as their stepping stone to a HC job can be mutually beneficial.

Is it CJ or Day? That’s what I don’t know. Is CJ allowed to lead or is Day the leader. You can laugh at JT or Tebow or even Krenzel but they took ownership..Holy Buckeye wasn’t the called play but Craig and Jenkins had the freedom to make that play.

This is something that I’ve harped on all year and has bugged me so often during games. Checking to the sideline during crunch time is an indication that someone doesn’t trust CJ to make the calls, IMO. Maybe that’s entirely on one of Day/CJ, maybe a bit of both, but it’s not something I like to see. If CJ is as good as Day says, he should be running the offense on his own at least part of the time, especially if Day wants to treat the program like the NFL.

I present to the board the notion that Day does not know what is happening on the field during the game because he is too wrapped up calling the next play

I also don't think he's having someone self-scout the play calling tendencies. There were situations where TTUN jumped the play like they knew what was coming.

I am not really certain that I believe Day can turn it around. This isn't a clinical exercise that he faces. He needs to generate an emotional push to win in Ann Arbor next year. I have seen no evidence that he is capable of emotional leadership of that kind.

This. I 100% believe we win that game if Urban was coaching. Just not sure Day has that dog in him.

I completely agree.

Except I think the foresight is something that comes with experience, if we're lucky. Urban maybe had it early in his tenure here, but he had plenty of questionable assistant coach hires and retentions here. Dabo and Jimbo haven't shown to have it. Saban is really the only one to consistently do it over a long period.
