Is it silent because of lack of support for Bollman or fear of being banned if ill words of Bollman should be typed?

The question is at this point in the season, who do you bring in if Bollman is let go?? The players would have to learn a playbook. Yes, they can dumb it down but still a huge obstacle for a young offence. I am certainly not supporting keeping Bollman around, but it's a very difficult situation to be in right now.

I don't think there's a need for a new playbook. Our current playbook obviously features spread sets and power sets. The issue seems to be the understanding of how to use our players in those sets, and when to use them. For example, calling power (I-form) sets with Braxton, and spread sets with Baus. Rolling out Baus, and keeping Braxton in the pocket.

What some of you are failing to see is the offense was somewhat of a "team effort" during the Tressel era. Bollman called all of the plays from the press box, but had Tressel, Daniels (whom he trusted) and Hazell (whom he was beginning to trust) helping him create/develop the game plan throughout the week. All of these guys are gone and Bollman is left with Siciliano (who should have NEVER been hired), Peterson (who knows NOTHING, trust me), Doc Tressel (who also has no clue), and a new guy (Drayton) that Bollman has never worked with prior to this year.
You pair this with Bollman's offensive play calling philosophies and you have a recipe for disaster. I have never been a Bollman fan (I thought his time had come and gone 5 years ago), but his roster and staff are not exactly helping the cause.

The plays are there, it's really based on the play calling/lack of young QB preparation. I think it's been dumbed down quite a bit as it is. Of course, experienced receivers would help, but the mind-numbing predictability makes everyone's job that much harder.
How is it that Northwestern always has a decent QB ready to go and tOSU rarely does? Not preparing JB/KG any better than they have is criminal.

It's really tough to tell with the OL since defenses don't have to play honest against the simplistic conservative play calling. Also, when your QB doesn't recognize the blitz, he can't make the necessary adjustments to the protection. How many times have you seen BM/JB get under center, take a step back, and tell the other 10 guys what is coming?...Me neither.

A good coach will design plays that accentuate the strengths of the players they he has to work with and cover up the weaknesses. I have never seen this from Bollman or JT for that matter. The OSU offense has always seemed to set the plan before the game and stick with it if it is working or not. This is a down year for talent on offense, but at OSU even in a down year they have more talent than most teams.
I have also never really been impressed with the job Bollman does coaching up the OL. OSU could really use an OL coach that can maximize what they get out of guys up front. IMO OSU brings in highly talented guys, but I don't see the improvement I would expect over their career.

I agree for the most part, but I also think it's pretty obvious at this point that Bauserman doesn't have the physical skills necessary for the position. Several times yesterday in his short stint at the helm he well under-threw WRs open on the sidelines simply because he doesn't have the arm strength to make the throws.
What kills me is that Guiton hasn't even gotten a look yet. What the hell is there to lose? No one has seen that much of him, but, to me, he's looked better in the spring games than JB. Again, if you aren't going to commit to Miller (and I think the staff should now that they've burnt his redshirt), then let's have a look at Kenny G. This offense is historically bad right now. There is nothing to lose.
