HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

[Jaxbuck]

Biddle said it feels like the end with Day, based on how Day is acting, as well as the team. Compared this year to the last couple years of Cooper.

I certainly hope not, but it kind feels like it.

Lines up with the end of Cooper in that the big game losses and The Game losses are bad enough but if you are now not going to dominate the rest of the schedule- you have to go.

I don't know that that is reality moving forward in CFB-just commenting on comp to 1999 and 2000.

I have been saying that Day is coaching for his very OSU-life in The Game this year. That has been assuming he still wants it.

I am thinking he's burnt out by 8 years of the OSU meat grinder and the changes he's had to navigate. It's unprecedented really and I would understand it if he is.

That means it's the end that doesn't mean we are 2 or 3 years from the end which is more what this feels like unless he gets it fixed.

I think he will get a year to clean it up. Day will have no choice but to fire Art.

I think he likely has at least 2 more years to clean it up unless something really, really bad happens if we are speculating on when the end might be.

I think people complaining about how college football isn't as much fun as it used to be need to ask themselves....am I just upset that the sport was set up for a couple Haves to dominate the Have Nots, and we were one of the Haves?

Can’t answer for anyone else, but it was the fact that only the people who cooperate with the ncaa ever get truly punished that made me try to quit the sport. That’s still true, but I’ve accepted it. And as soon as I walked back in the door, the wheels fell off of the Buckeyes. Oh well. I’m still here. I didn’t come back to ride the bandwagon

What happened during the bye week? Mutiny?

What happened during the bye week? Mutiny?

That's what makes no fucking sense. The D just shows up to play the last few weeks like they did they rest of the season and we likely win both. They just disappeared. Sayin got hurt yes but usually the other side of the ball rallies and picks them up. They seem to have quit. Did they try to hard and start getting out of position trying to make plays for the O then quit when it got bad? But going by the fact USC's first score was an effort play I don't think that's it. So what happened to the D. Yes Timmons was hurt but that doesn't account for all of it.

Sweet Jesus this is what I want to know. An entirely different team since then.

We showed right after IU, going into the bye week that the rest of this team really wasn't that good.

Not sure anyone quit or mutinied, more likely they are simply just being exposed. Maybe trying to do too much is making it worse.

I think they're especially not good at accomplishing efficiency as Day measures it. I think that's been a niggling concern I've had for a few years now. The type of efficiency valued here allows for almost 0 margin when something goes wrong. I think his choices for coordinators were to maximize his view of efficiency (whether the parts were there for it or not). It's conveyed in his "this is going to be a game in the 4th quarter" mantra as well. That's what his version of efficiency leads to if the talent gap/efficient players aren't there.

Does make you wonder if the team was focused on CFP or nothing. It will be interesting to see how things shake out this week with NW and whether any players have lost their motivation.

Failures at multiple levels. Trust issues from the coaches from what I see. Leadership void. Mental discipline.

The defensive line is generating pressure on the QB 3.6% of the time. that's second worst in all of college football.

NFL average is around 35%. The Vikings are generating pressure with their D Line 50% of the time.

Edit: it's 3.6% sack rate, which is still second worst in CFB. I messed that one up a bit.

 

[Tanner]

I dont think there is a single coach I would even give a B+ grade too, let alone anything higher. Which obviously falls on Day

Right?

Take a step back and look at the hierarchy of importance for modern football: QB, DL, OL etc etc

We simply do not have elite talent/production at QB or DL this year (to go with a million other things).

Day’s gambit was to mask that with above average QB and 4.
