HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

How do "we" know if the "Larry Johnson situation" hasn't been figured out internally? Maybe we're not privy to it, and honestly, I don't think any of us should be in any case.

The core issue with LJ has been negative recruiting, effective negative recruiting.
The solution needs to be public explicitly to dispel those rumors for recruits.

Agree with everything else you're saying.

I literally spelled out what we wanted. One of them was addressed. Stop acting like 1) the wants are unknown and 2) they've all been addressed and 3) any of it is unreasonable.

I think it's safe to assume BOB means Day has given up playcalling ?
That's at least 2 things on your list.
I agree we need more OL, and more answers on coaching staff for both lines. Seems like the former will have to wait for Spring, Frye for another month or so for BOB to settle in, and who knows what's up with LJ.

But I want to see an upgrade at LT, and I think 1 more Tyliek-type at DL would be desirable.

OL is definitely a concern still, but I think the C will be a big upgrade, and hopefully they'll bring in at least one more starter in the spring for LT/RT, although that might be hard to do depending on who is available. Only other positions of weakness are LB and TE, and it seems like they're at least interested in targeting another LB based on rumblings. Wouldn't mind another DL, I guess it just depends on how happy they are with Kanu and the other freshman's progress.

This is pretty much the best I could've expected out of Day. Pretty sure the LJ situation will work out in the next few months. Seems like a priority for them to set up a transition from him to another coach.

ON OHIO STATE RECRUITING NORTHWEST OHIO​

"It's extremely important. There are so many great players and great programs. It's really the lifeline of our program. The foundation is Ohio. It's Ohio football. It's the great programs, the great players, and it's been like that for a long, long time. It will continue to be. These guys understand what it means to be a Buckeye. They understand what it means to be in a rivalry game."

ON OHIO STATE USING THE TRANSFER PORTAL​

"It's similar to last year. We've added six guys from the portal. We haven't gone crazy there. But, you know, when Coach Saban retired, some of these guys were available in the portal. We wanted to bring in the best players we could, but we also took our culture into consideration."

ON HIRING BILL O'BRIEN AS HIS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR​

"Every year, you have to look and identify the things you want to tweak and change. I felt like this was important for a lot of reasons. The landscape of college football has changed. Where my focus needs to be has changed. Bill brings a tremendous amount of experience to the table. I wouldn't have done it with just anybody. Bill's experience being a head coach in the conference (at Penn State), being a head coach in the NFL, being at Alabama for two years and the success he had there with Bryce Young — all of that fits very well with what we need in the program."

ON WILL HOWARD, OHIO STATE'S QUARTERBACK ROOM​

"It's a room that craves competition, and I think you will see that with all of the guys in the room. They are looking for a competitive spring. It's a great opportunity for them to start fresh with Coach O'Brien walking into the room. We know what the expectation is. I think the guys in that room know what the offense is, the surrounding cast and what's out in front of them. They started well this first couple of weeks. It will be a great competition. It will be fun to watch this spring."

ON JIM HARBAUGH LEAVING MICHIGAN FOR THE NFL​

"It's more about our team. There are a lot of changes going on around college football. If you look around, Coach (Nick) Saban is retiring and you are seeing some different things around college football. What I keep talking to our guys and our staff about is that we have to focus on our team. There will be changes across the country, but we want to make sure we continue to build and look toward the long term. Where do we want to be a year from now? Where do we want to be in three years and five years? With all this change, we have to make sure we are adapting to the times."
Comment No. 1: I love that Day called Ohio recruits the “foundation” of the program. It always has been and always should be.

Comment No. 2: I love that Ohio State landed Will Howard, Quinshon Judkins, Seth McLaughlin, Will Kacmarek and Caleb Downs from the transfer portal and still said the Buckeyes “haven't gone crazy there.”

Comment No. 3: Day likes O'Brien. Therefore, I like O'Brien.

Comment No. 4: Will Howard is Ohio State’s QB1. Spare me the “competition” talk. Please.

Comment No. 5: I wonder what Day really thinks about Jim Harbaugh.

OK. That’s all the comments I have. Five comments is good.
