HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

We have not lost to TSUN the last two years. They cheated plain and simple. Even at this point, that is clear. When your opponent knows every play that you are about to run and adjusts to it, then you can look like you played like shite. I don't buy it.

I'm also sick of hearing about how the players on the current team deserve sympathy and should not be harshly judged because of the coaches cheating. They have "dominated" a schedule ranked between 80 and 100 in most systematic rankings and they have done it because they cheated. Screw them. Burn down the program.

Smart people on here really surprise me when they act like HC decisions are made and in a vacuum.

Day is calling games based on what his players are showing him they can do. He knows what he sees in practice.

Anyone expecting Day to call a game like last year must think CJ is still the QB and he has 2 starting NFL tackles on his O Line.

Good grief people.

Day has to win games not keep us entertained.

He is calling games based on THIS team that has an elite D but a VERY shaky QB and a marginal O Line.

Shaky and marginal is fine for Iowa and Illinois and Vanderbilt..why is tOSU shaky and marginal? Day is not paid to be shaky and marginal.

So running straight up the gut (Dave) on almost every first down in the second half is Day basing his calls on what he’s seeing in practice????

On an obvious all out blitz on 3rd and long, having no outlet receiver for a quick hitter, like Stover right over the middle is Day basing his calls on his players?????

Not buying that shit for a hot minute….

Now granted he was putting the game on his D last night, but still there was bad play calling with enough sprinkles of brilliance to win.

I believe you missed the point. This is the thread for Day and I was referencing criticism of his play calling.

How does he fix shaky and marginal during the season?

Kyle is the QB and nobody in the OL room is pushing the starters for playing time.

My point is, Day is making calls based on what he has to work with.

If he seems tentative or calling a tight game, it’s because he is forced to given the limitations of his offense.

He is in charge of recruiting and the coaches isn’t he? I would love to see Hartline call a game.

By calling better plays.

Yes.

Day is the one removing who he calls the best player in college football from the field on 3rd and short.

If he seems tentative or calling a tight game, it’s because he is forced to given the limitations of his offense.
Like pounding Miyan when Hayden is watching? Or the jet sweet to the boundary on 4th and short? Day limits our talent it seems, but I don't wanna gas you up the same way I feel you're gassing me up. Time will tell and I hope I am wrong truly truly. I *want* Day to succeed truly rooting for him.

Day is adapting to better play strategies Love the calls, McCord under center with heavy back field alignment on 3rd and short.
I did like seeing the under center this past week, plus we executed a sneak with a push and everything.

He's not though. At all.

Day likes what he likes and he calls it regardless of his personnel, or what the defense shows. He wants to do what he wants to do and expects perfect execution, even when his line has shown incapable of it all year. The man is as stubborn as it gets. He refuses to adapt.

Our line cannot generate push in short yardage situations and rather than spreading the defense out using your ridiculous stable of wide receivers, he takes Marv off the field and puts in another TE, both of whom have shown REPEATEDLY, that they cannot reliably run block in obvious run situations. I'll give him credit for finally utilizing sneaks, but it shouldn't have to take THAT long to make a change.

McCord was out there with one leg and Day calls a timeout, then removes the extra blocker to basically ensure McCord is screwed.

The entire game, Wisconsin looked like they knew all of our audibles.

Day has to stop with this "all we have to do is execute" bullshit. You can say what you want about TTUN, but they look for EVERY possible advantage they can find in a game. Obviously, do it with in the rules, but Day just continues to coach in this vacuum of arrogance where he thinks he's infallible as long as his team does everything right.

You should apply for his job whenever he parts ways with OSU.

I've already asked my wife if I can volunteer next year at Capital and break into the college ranks to eventually restore Ohio State after climbing the ladder and drafting a manifesto.

Appreciate you replying to the substance of valid criticisms such as pulling Marvin in favor of Gee Scott on critical downs.

I wouldn't have much to say in defense either.

As a widely known Day supporter around these parts of the interwebs, I do agree he has been too stubborn on the offensive side on certain things for far too long. I am surprised a remote didn't go through my TV after the millionth time we ran a jet screen/sweep/run to the short side on a 3rd/4th and 1 yard to gain. My frustration is that we have demonstrable data showing the QB push works almost all the time there and we just don't do it.

However, we started to do it last game along with short-burst runs to the line, so I think we started to actually come around last week. Better late than never? Just need to keep doing it and never call a jet sweep/screen/toss to the short side of the field ever again when we need short yardage. Those plays can work, just not in that situation...I can give you verbatim what the staff would say on the logic of it ("well you see, you keep the ball in a limited space so there is less room for error" argument). But the more availing argument is that the less room that a defender has to cover in a short amount of time, the more likely it is to tackle the ball carrier in the backfield. Especially when there is no element of surprise since we do it all the time and defenses know it it is coming.

I do think that we are turning a corner here and Day is being more malleable with short yardage calls though. If he can get past that, I don't think we will have a valid gripe left in terms of play calling.
