It is nonsense for anyone to suggest a coaching change in Columbus. We've become incredibly picky. We get down on a guy for doing a good job, as if doing a "good job" isn't enough. Tressel represents the Ohio State tradition, the principles of our fan base, and the philosophy we want here. Simply put, there is no better man for the job. Sure he could do a few things differently here and there. And no Buckeye fan on this planet could whole-heartedly say they weren't disappointed with the outcome Saturday night. But consider this, USC has been the team of the decade and no team that should have given them a game has given them a game lately. They came to Columbus and got a lot more than they expected and their worst fear is to line up against our squad at the end of the season. Besides, whom would you rather have? Can anyone honestly see any of the other bowl subdivision coaches in Columbus?
Our offense will improve. Regardless of your opinion, Pryor is pressing and as he gets more comfortable and more mature he'll develop. The coaching staff will make adjustments and will get this ship back on the right track. Most of us would agree at the start of the recent seasons, we never expected to be playing in those big games. Many of us that really follow this team knew we were playing out of our minds to get to the big stage and were going to have a hard time.
One of my favorite seasons to watch was the year Troy Smith came out publicly stating he should be starting. The game against Iowa was painful to watch. Zwick goes down, and here comes this scrappy kid that just refuses to lose. Troy Smith won a lot of us over with his determination and heart. He won four of the five he started including the fabled win against TSUN. He was out for the Alamo Bowl for a stupid decision and not a single one of us wasn't thinking "uh oh." But that season was gratifying because we got to watch these kids develop, mature, and show us what collegiate football is really all about. This is going to be one of those seasons too, hopefully without a lot of the drama. Our expectations are enormous on these teams lately because of our frequency on the big stage. Chillax, the kids are going to be alright.
