HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

I don't rightly care if you do. Your opinion is not infallible. It's some shit to for people to say they want to see Day pull out games like that then turn around and basically say it well actually he didn't do that he got lucky as soon as he loses the next one. If you want to go that's my opinion man and ignore any other take it's whatever nothing anyone can say to change your mind then there is no point in bothering to even discuss it. It's just going to be old man yelling at clouds all day every day.

And if that's going to be the level of discourse here over the next few months we might as well be fucking bucknuts cause this place is going to get really intolerable very fast.

take a deep breath and read what you write before you hit post, christ.

I'm fine I might step away for a week cause it does my blood pressure no good.

I just have a big problem with people who have an opinion and then instead of trying to back up that opinion with real arguments just go that's my opinion man. And then act like we lost to 6-5 TTUN like Alabama almost did. They had a good team we maybe mad about cheating and everything else and they had interim coach but that is one data point. To base everything the last 3 years and go welp they lost on a last 2nd drive nothing else matters and it's all shit..

I started off too hot with you but eventually felt like we were getting somewhere.

Ok I'm going to get real fucking blunt with you guys. You don't get to play what if only when it fucking suits you. It's fucking insufferable. I expect it from Jax after last year.

But you don't get go missed field goals and pick in the end zone meant we lost anyone who mentions it is a loser making excuses. While getting to make excuses why he he didn't lose to Notre Dame to fit your narrative. Pick one not both.

Trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth the night of is whatever it's an angry drunk looking for a fight. 2 days after the game is Disingenuous as fuck.

What the fuck are you even going on about?

I gave Day credit through the year, thinking that maybe he had finally found a way to win a close game (ND) turns out it was just finding a coach worse than he is.

If that gets you all spun up then so be it. The guy is in over his head.

So, while it’s on my mind thinking about Day playing scared. He rarely used tempo this game. Some hurry up to the line but then a bunch of check-with-me calls (that are almost never good).

Think McCord got going a little in the 2nd quarter with tempo, when he didn’t have to think. Then the running drive for a TD was nice because it was lineup and go.

For a guy that complained about pace of play with the clock rules, he sure didn’t do anything to control it. On Saturday he played right into Michigan’s ideal game - a shortened one that ended with the ball in their hands late and ready to kill clock.

He seemed just fine slowing everything down instead of risking a high play count game and throwing weapon after weapon at the Wolverines. Maybe it’s trust in himself. Maybe it’s trust in McCord.

Just maddening to try to match their game when we could see all year they were better at this style than the Bucks.

I can't find it now because this thread is so big and I don't remember exactly when I said it. Hell, it might not even be in this thread.

I didn't think Ohio State football should be someone's first head coaching gig. It wasn't for Woody, Bruce, Cooper, Tressel, or Urban. They all learned how to be a head coach before taking this big job. They had proven themselves elsewhere - they knew they could be a head coach. Some were better than others, but they all had some success elsewhere before taking over this football factory. They had dealt with ADs, boosters, hired staff, and managed live games, and the job is bigger now than ever.

Day and his staff are great at recruiting skill players. They do it at a level where that talent alone can win 85% of their games. Day's high win percentage is mostly about talent and he deserves credit for that. But where his coaching weaknesses get exposed is when he doesn't have an overwhelming talent advantage, and we've seen it for a few years now.

Could that improve with experience? Sure. But the pressure he's feeling now in Columbus may make that difficult for him to do at Ohio State.

I’m really trying here - I really am.

Blew a double digit lead against Clemson; absolutely waxed in the natty; blew a double digit lead against Georgia - 3 straight losses to the fucking cock
sucking pieces of shit up north.

Dude has fallen short or just fallen flat on his face at every opportunity and I’m supposed to convince myself that we can’t find someone better.

I get it 56-7 is excellent, but ffs
I hate when the other teams are trying, too

Help this cognitively impaired buckeye fan. If Day isn't the answer, then who is? Please provide your specific criteria for what is required to be considered an acceptable head coach at Ohio State. Who wants to take the "We're Back!" route like Miami, Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC, Texas, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Florida have so successfully done?

Part of it has to be trust in McCord. The other was the bad idea of not replacing Wilson with another vet OC to work with Hartline.

It's been thrown around that replacing Dennis might happen. He may not be bad, but they can find a more experienced and versatile coach to be QB/OC. Then they can work with Hartline and the QB, taking more off Day's plate.

You can see a discussion on this in the Game thread on Saturday and Sunday. Maybe in the 220's, 230's pages?

Here comes the Vrabel talk......

IIRC he wasn't a fan of recruiting. I'd imagine the current NIL landscape wouldn't excite him either.

FEAR AND LOATHING​

By Ramzy Nasrallah on November 29, 2023 at 1:15 pm @ramzy

Compare that with Ohio State's best players, whose head coach removed from the field on Saturday in those moments. Day forfeited those opportunities on their behalf; apparently, they're too big for him. He didn't like the math. The numbers didn't look good enough. He was afraid of what might happen if his best players failed.
