Unfortunately a "stinker" 9-3 or maybe even 8-4 season in the right climate gets you into a 24 team playoff. It's really going to be important to re evaluate what success really is going forward into that era

Head Coach
He’s just always been “fake” to me. And when you lack authenticity, messages either become stale or seen through.
He seems like a genuinely good dude….I just don’t think he has the alpha dog personality to be an elite coach. And there’s evidence of this in how he’s done full 180 degree style shifts in offensive identity over the years.
Here’s my biggest beef……OSU, under Urban Meyer was designed to be an NFL machine. But that didn’t really take shape until Meyer let go of the offense enough to make it something elite HS kids would want to play in. The combo of Urbans tenacity with OC’s who liked to push the ball and put points on the board made OSU an elite national brand. Which leads me to this……what HS recruits and potential transfer targets are looking at Arthur Smith and saying “that’s the system that is going to get me where I want to go”.
Day had the formula…..and he flushed it away over a super analytical approach that is hyper-focused on efficiency……when he himself, is AWFUL when it comes to game management. He just seems like a guy who gets caught up in whichever way the wind is blowing.
Before this season I told my son I had a weird feeling we were going to massively underperform this season. In fairness, a lot of that belief came bc I’ve never been a huge Sayin guy….the injury has certainly played a role in our last (2) losses….but I’m not even sure we win these games with him. The collapse at Texas is further proof.
I don’t know…..I highly doubt he’s going anywhere this year so I’ll just kind of accept the mediocrity for remainder of this year and probably become irrationally optimistic at some point about next year in hopes we can contend …..until I watch them sputter and spin their wheels while trying to force a square peg in a round hole.

Bjork better have walking papers drawn up for if Day loses to this borderline MAC level scUM team

There's no reason to not just burn everything down and rebuild if we can't beat this scUM team.

Maybe it was a spur-of-the-moment thought, but something tells me that Marcus Freeman might end up being our head coach next year if Day doesn't win the last three games of the regular season and win whatever bowl game tales us...

Unfortunately I think the bowl game pretty much gets thrown out since it's going to be even more meaningless than the game that bred the Missouri fiasco. To brew ANY enthusiasm going forward you have to win these next 3 games all convincingly. Which I feel at this point is very wishful thinking.
