Everyone who wants Day shitcanned. Go look at Bjork’s coaching hires. Matt Luke, and Mike Elko but they hired him after it was leaked that they were hiring Mike Stoops and there was a revolt. Not to mention he was responsible for the Jimbo extension.

So with that track record you expect better, good luck.

There should have been a revolt by the donors as soon as that clown's name was even mentioned. The fact that he actually landed the job blows my mind. his absolute mismanagement at aTm cost that school $75 million.

Now that souls have been cleansed, It is time for this team to pull together and refocus. There is a major problem on offence. Line play on both sides of the ball has not impressed. There remains only one major goal that is attainable and it will not be fixed by slowing the game down and playing to win in the 4th quarter.

They need to be strategic. They are shattered. Coaches and players, physically and mentally. You don’t fix problems like this overnight. When everyone blows smoke up your backside, when you are so focused on rankings and player stats for awards that you fail to give backups the necessary game time to prepare, this is what you get.

Line play has not impressed. I have believed that line play would be the issue since watching what SEC teams looked like early. Kentucky blew my mind early this year. They asked Cignetti how he planned to stop the Bucks passing attack as the game started and he said, “Hit the QB before he can throw it.” Everyone but Ohio State’s coaches heard him, it seems. They need someone scouting the portal with an urgency unknown to humankind right now.

Forget the awards. JJ will earn a fortune next year. This is a multi-year rebuild. So much talent into the NFL. Revise your goals. Set achievable goals, and get ready to end the season with a win.

Sharing this thought here as I don't want to create a thread for random OSU-football related thoughts.

Former NFL-level coaches may be solid at bringing out the best of NFL-level players in college, but what happens when your players are not at that level? There's a balance that must be maintained between a coach who can scheme and one who develops. This year it feels like we needed more emphasis on the latter and it hasn't been there.

Im sure the outcome with be everyone internally just blaming the Sayin injury and then running it back with the same staff next year.

With next year too 3 losses (maybe even 4) gets you into a 24 team playoff. You really have to redefine what "success" is with that. Limping into the back end of a 24 team playoff and being an early out shouldn't keep job security.

Silver lining for a lost season. Day and his coaching staff will not be busy in December and January. Plenty of time to focus on the portal and roster development. He needs a post Mizzou bowl game fiasco inspired roster build out in the worst way. Not a lot of areas of this roster I feel great about heading into next year.

He should be busy finding a new staff

I don't understand his play to win in the 4th quarter mentality. I get that you want players to have fewer plays for the year, but one way to achieve that is to play at a faster pace and then get your 2's and even 3's in to a game. We can all acknowledge that there is more parity this year. Probably this is going to be the status quo for the future. That makes it even more important to play to your strengths and get the 2's rotating in with the 1's before your star player gets injured. This is not a major revelation. It's a standard practice on virtually any team we all played on, even if its wisdom eludes Ryan Day.

I've taken comfort from looking at Woody Hayes record at Ohio State (https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/coaches/woody-hayes-1.html).

There is a whole lot of ugly in there with the good, and my childhood memories are of the "Fire Woody" arguments. Woody didn't have the portal. Day does and he better be investing heavily in identifying who he wants to recruit from it.

The fact that he completely refused to change his offense with two weeks to prepare for a new QB with a completely different skill set tells me it’s him, not his staff.

While this is true. Neither Coordinator has shown the ability to make in game adjustments. Smith is a 2 series wonder. Patricia just throws the same soft zone out every series.

It hasn’t worked all game guys, but it’s sure to work this time…right….right
