HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Worst case scenario for Day?

Somehow, he pulls off a win over Georgia then loses the NC game to TTUN. Just when hope was restored it gets crushed by the worst possible opponent to crush it.

Who knows? Maybe he'll get the Colts job with an eye toward drafting Stroud to be his QB. I wouldn't do it, but Columbus could become an unfriendly place for him.

This is why I wanted to be #3. I think we could've handled a second loss knowing that Georgia would fuck them up again. If we give them a NC........fuck.

I was actually joking about the Colts job - who'd be dumb enough to leave tOSU to work for Jim Irsay? But being Ryan Day in Columbus, in that scenario, could get unpleasant.

I think college jobs across the board are going to become a lot less fun than they used to be. Sure you had to recruit every year, but a job like TOSU did most of the work for you. Now you have to keep recruiting every player every year to keep them out of the portal and from potentially getting NIL offers to get them to transfer.

Losing to them 3 times within, what, 400 days would not be handled well by me. :lol:

But agreed…it gets a lot more sickening if it’s the NC. Can’t think about it.

CHOOSING VIOLENCE

The Ohio State football program is a dangerous place to be coy.

Every press conference, recruiting visit, tweet, grunt - any noise seeping out of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center is captured and amplified for the masses to consume. All coaches, especially the one of charge, have to embrace that reality.

This dynamic is one of those hardwired and uncontrollable constituency characteristics, so trying to change or evade it is a wasteful errand. Hoping OSU fans or even OSU media outlets won't notice or question the slightest microscopic detail is just silly.

Walk through campus tailgating lots on a November Saturday and you'll meet a grandmother of 14 who knitted the dazzling scarlet and gray sweater she's proudly wearing. She'll tell you today's opponent's 3-technique defensive lineman has a tendency to cheat toward the guard side, which may clog up the inside zone plays.

Gotta bounce those runs outside. That grandma is who we are. She's us. And we're locked in.

Always listen to grandmas, especially the ones who a) make their own clothes and b) don't smooth over the toothpick holes in their homemade buckeyes on purpose so that everyone knows they are authentic without having to ask. Eat at least three. She'll be insulted otherwise.

BEING COY WHILE WINNING BY 35 IS A RELATIVELY SAFE PLACE. DOING IT AND LOSING TO MICHIGAN BY 22 AT HOME IS A DANGEROUS GAME.

And insulting is not desirable, which also goes for Ohio State coaches with the audacity to be sketchy in moments which demand transparency. This fan base cannot be gerrymandered to only include mild-mannered, distracted, patient or rational fans. First of all, there's only like seven of those people among us.

I wanted #3 just so we could get the most immediate chance at beating that god-forsaken state up north, you know TCU is not going to beat them. That said, if we beat UGA somehow and get into the title, I seriously don't see us losing that rematch. Big IF, I know, UGA is going to be really hard to beat...we have the talent to do it, but it will take a damn-near perfect game. But if we get through that first game, I think we kick the crap out of whoever we get in the title game and hopefully that is *ichigan in that scenario.

I guess that’s my problem with this… GA is going to be a very physical game and injuries have plagued this team all season. If they make it through this game unscathed and get the win with a chance at a rematch with them, it would be a miracle.

I’m sure by now we’ve all heard everyone trying to make comparisons to 2014. You want to know a huge difference that no one has mentioned with that run? Oregon wasn’t anywhere near as physical as Bama was. Facing Oregon after the slugfest with Bama was a cakewalk by comparison as far as physicality goes. The heavyweight champ was already knocked out and the only thing standing in the way was the featherweight.

Just to stay somewhat on topic: Day has a difficult task at hand. :lol:

To use another analogy to go against what you said though...

Ever bench press 135 (Michigan) after benching 225 (Georgia)? 135 feels awful light after doing a set at 225.
