I will say this, if Urban really is floating himself as a replacement, publicly, before Day has moved on, he can go fuck himself

i don't think he is.

if you watch his triple-option podcast where he made this comment, he was talking about the mentality, at places like ohio state, where everyone needs to be on board with wanting to be the best from day 1, and how it's the coach's job to lead that mindset.

at least that's how i read it. i think the article put a spin on it that is out of context. he led into it talking about how the ohio state job is a tough job but a good job and that it gets "rugged". he said it's uncomfortable to hear about getting fired or about the pressure.

"every waking moment you have, if you're not the best, go find a way to become the best."

landis, ward and holbrook, especially.

may was trying, and i think he had the right ideas but as soon as he opens his mouth and starts to hear himself winding up the tough question, he goes soft and starts to back peddle. "ryan, that time when you pulled down your pan---, er, when the situation was way back and in the offseason the guys were in the woody, with however much and the in my 40 years or whatever, you know what i'm talking about... and do you think the guys would like it if you bought them some ice cream?"

I’m paraphrasing but Ryan Day says they nearly made a change along the offensive against Michigan…..didn’t get everything they wanted out of offensive line in game.

Likely they’ll have a different front 5 in playoffs.

He didn’t expound on it, but from what I’m hearing…..the like Hinzman in interior but don’t like his snapping mechanics. When he snaps with velocity, it’s off target. When he snaps to be on target, it’s painfully slow. Sounds like OSU thinks the right move is to kick Hinzman back to guard, and likely go Padilla at center (possibly Montgomery but that’d be a surprise to me).

JMO, but I think Hinzman is back at guard the next time we see Buckeyes play.

Hoping for this to happen. Hinzman was playing well at guard and his experience at center is valuable, but him starting there puts the OL and offense at a disadvantage. Hopefully Padilla can be ready in a few weeks.

I love Ramzy and the article is brilliant…..but I just get hung up a bit on how the team is built and how it correlates to Big 10 weather.

A Ryan Day team, from the inside out, just isn’t designed to work optimally when the weather gets nasty in late October/early November.

Nobody runs outdoor track meets in December in the Midwest…..that’s what indoor track is for.

It’s a massive issue for the Buckeyes.

The depth on the OL isn't there (although OSU has rarely had great OL depth, just not many season-ending injuries) but this offseason there was a big change in the design of the offense. They went out and got an AA center, a mobile QB, an AA RB and hired a run heavy OC in Kelly to diversify concepts. Shit happened that blew that plan up, though, and this is where they're at.

Ideally they spend time working on more pass concepts and blocking and whittle the run game down to what they can do instead of what they want to do. Win the first round game and you'll be in southern/western weather or a dome.

I noticed that too in regard to the up tempo stuff lol… just Silly to contend the different. 2 minute is run with tempo so the report wasn’t wrong Ryan.

The thing they always mention was tempo is only good after a nice gain or a first down. I get that you don’t want to get off the field quick but why can’t you go fast on offense if your defense is as good as ours? Seriously with our offense we need as many cracks as we can get right now. If we can’t be as efficient then get more possessions.

Maybe you can't go "up tempo" if you only play your 1s.

Which brings me to point 2: I would think that you want to give your 2s some playing time for many reasons not the least of which is to keep the freshmen, RSFs, and sophs around and out of the portal. I can't blame any kid who leaves because he thinks he can play somewhere else.

Riffing off of billmac's post in the Fielding thread, I think it's just obvious now that Day will not be an elite head coach and, as much as I can taste the bile in my mouth, damnit, Harbooger was right. He was born on 3rd base. He's the sales guy who gets pulled out of the field and has no idea how to run a sales department. I didn't know any better and I think we were all, even Day, fooled. Urban signed off on him, so he must be the next coming. He's young, but special enough to learn on the job. Turns out that you can be an ace offensive coordinator and crap the bed when it matters as an HC and hamstring your offense with middle school play calling. I don't know the answer, but I doubt that it's, "he'll round into it and wind up being an all-timer."

That's what is keeping me up at night, still. Any and all projections and predictions for that game completely dismissed.....rightfully so.....the possibility of the head coach sabotaging his own team.

Non professional shrink opinion; It's likely that he does a great deal of self sabotage and the results of that internal war spill out into the real world.

Kind of goes to the heart of my comment about him always finding a way. Nothing on earth is as powerful as your own subconscious. Maybe father time but it's close.

Maybe spike Day's water with Xanax on game day. Not enough to have him slobbering but maybe a little Beta Blocker as well to keep him from locking up and making diamonds in his diaper when we got a fucking game to win?

Give him whatever the hell he was on that caused Clemson 2020 and Georgia 2022 and yes I know people will say he turtled at the end of Georgia. But this team playing with the fire and looseness and I'm not sure another team keeps it close enough for him to turtle at the end

Day can easily turn this thing around. Focus on the exigencies of the game in front of you... the clock, the time outs, the overall fit to the agreed pre-game strategy or agreed changes in response to game context. Agree what your subordinates are going to do and then trust them to get on with it. Stop second guessing your OC and DC. Let them run their operations, making sure that they substitute enough to keep the team fresh on the field. Hold others accountable at half time and after the game.

Approach the game with an attitude of abundance, not defeat. Shave off that effing beard. It's not convincing anyone you're a tough guy. It's the badge that says Harbo is living in your mind. Look like the guy whose teams moved through TCUN like shit through a goose.

Be the best version of you and trust that guy to get it done.

Been thinking about this all day and I'm pretty confident in saying that the way this team is built, we are better equipped to win the national championship than we are the B1G championship. It's because of the extreme levels in our skill players and the lack of depth in the O and Dlines. I just see us performing better in the next few weeks than we did in most weeks of conference play although there were only 2 hiccups. If we get a guy or two back from injury I think we win this damn thing.

That doesn't heal the open wound but it'll work like Morphine until spring.
