HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

[BuckeyeNation27]

This right here is my probably entitled gripe. Why does Ohio State have to win with virtue all the time? Georgia doesn't. Bama doesn't. Why is it always on Ohio State to have to win by a lot to appease the pollsters, but not too much or we're assholes.....we have to get recruits because they're just Ohio born and bred and don't want a cent, but we have to beat teams who have been buying recruits for decades.....we set up an NIL collective and it's all anybody talks about preseason, while you have Miami and aTm advertising that you can come and make more money losing with them. First world problems, I know.

GPA!

Damn. Sorry Da-n. Fuck the- up brother.

I suggest you all watch that interview in full. He's fuckin done. He's had it with the cheaters. When he originally said hang a hundred it was pure hubris.

Now he wants to hang a hundred for cosmic balance. Because it's the right thing to do.

Woody used to catch hell from writers Keith Jackson etc cause he wouldn’t play their game. Day is never going to be loved by ESPN, Ciwherd etc. just win and smirk. You never apologize for winning.

i mentioned in another thread that
it (finally) sounds personal, and it should be, by now.

i think now he finally gets it.

you can see the burn on the inside.

Jim Tressell should be in the room whenever we hire a new HC from here until eternity.

Kyle. Throw in the missing m's for dashes. We're on the same page. Just throw the hand grenade of Antioch for good measure.

I agree 100% - it seems like if feels it now. You never had those questions/thoughts about JT or Urban because they were from here, the knew it - RD seems like he got here finally

 

[Jaxbuck]

I have been as critical of Day as anyone and I am still somewhat skeptical but I have seen two things this year that give me hope.

One, reading between the lines post Oregon, he actually cracked two of his staff's heads together and made them unfuck their mess (DC and DL). It tells me he's learning to manage managers, not just be a high level individual contributor in a new job.

Second, and most important, he's got a thousand yard stare now. He was just a newb saying what he thought he was supposed to say before. Now he feels it.

You can see he's got his scars now and he never wants to feel that pain again.

As it should be.

 

[jarv]

Too bad it took the straight losses for him to get it.

 

[Mike80]

dude looks like he hasn't slept in 3 years....

 

[Steve19]

He hasn't had multiple losses to TCUN. At worst, they vacate the wins and there is no outcome for Ohio State. With justice, they forfeit and he has the wins.

I know that look. It's the one that says "I'm all out of bubblegum..." It's the one that tells us he's getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night. It's the look that tells his subordinates to dust off their CVs. The change has been building since the Oregon game. The embarrassing effort against Nebraska. The lack of coordination between Knowles and Johnson. There is no more patience. Do your job or hit the road.

This guy can win multiple national championships and become a legend in college football. He needs a winter in the gym and a nutritionist to recover fully. He has the potential to be everything Urban Meyer thought he could be. He has learned what that is going to take. I can't communicate how positive I feel about this guy right now.
