Jim Bollman (Stay calm and run Dave)

I'm basing my Bollman comments more on the fact that he was found guilty of some recruiting violations... in addition to the fact that he seems to be given the least recruiting responsibility...

Looking at the rest of our staff, its quite evident that he's the weakest link... that doesnt mean he's terrible at recruiting, but that I'd feel more confident with somebody else recruiting Daily...

That being said, Tressel knows a ton more than I do, so Im sure he's directly involved with Dailly and others..

Now back to Daily..

That was a very stupid violation and he was told not to do it.

And he is not the young energetic type person, so you don't hear a lot about him b/c he doesnt do alot of OOS recruiting. he does the instate guys that are normally recruited by anywhere from 2 to about all the guys on staff.

Great thread! It is almost comical to reread many of the comments in here 16 to 18 months later. This thread is a manual for "Flying Off the Handle 101" by a bunch of Monday morning quarterbacks.

Not naming names or anything, just saying that none of us really knows anything about what goes on behind closed doors, at closed practices, etc.

Looking at Bollman's resume now, its hard to see where the criticism ever came from. The 2002 O-line, which by all accounts wasn't a 'great' line, is now scattered across the NFL and starting for three different teams. Bentley won an award under Bollman's coaching, and Mangold should have. Rob Sims will get drafted this year; he'll no doubt be a starter at the next level too. In four of the last five Michigan games, our offensive line was superior to both UM's offensive AND defensive lines, which is purportedly where Michigan is supposed to excel. Datish and Boone are the next big breakout players on the line, and both of them will land in the NFL too.

Bollman is apparently doing something right. :wink2:

Just wanted to note that everything before post #208 is a year old.

Since the thread was dormant for almost exactly 1 year, that might get missed.

Ohio State football offensive coordinator Jim Bollman is expected to recover fully after undergoing heart bypass surgery yesterday morning.

Athletics department spokesman Steve Snapp said Bollman was not feeling well while on the road recruiting. He returned to Columbus and underwent a heart catheterization, then bypass surgery.

He was said to be resting comfortably at OSU Medical Center yesterday.

OSU coach Jim Tressel did not return a call seeking comment.

Bollman, 51, is entering his sixth year on the Buckeyes staff. He also coaches the offensive line.

A former offensive lineman for Ohio University, Bollman also has coached at Miami University, North Carolina State, Youngstown State, Virginia, Michigan State and in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears.

Bollman and his wife, Terri, have two daughters: Courtney, 24, and Stephanie, 22.

One week after heart bypass surgery, Jim Bollman had good news to report, relatively speaking.

"I’m feeling as good as I can possibly feel at this point," the Ohio State offensive coordinator said yesterday in a brief telephone interview from his home. "I feel like I am doing as well as I possibly can be doing."

It’s not clear when Bollman, 51, will be able to return to work. This is a planning, recruiting and/or vacation time for the coaches, with the start of preseason camp about two months away.

"You can just tell people I feel as fine as I can possibly feel, considering the circumstances, and that I am very much looking forward to my comeback," said Bollman, who will be entering his sixth season at Ohio State.

He underwent the procedure last Saturday morning in the OSU Medical Center after being admitted the night before.

Visitors and contact with him have been limited.

"I could be on the phone 24 hours a day with people calling and wishing me well," Bollman said. "But I appreciate their thoughts."
