OL Harry Miller (Official Thread)

Day owes us (royal) nothing.

No, he doesn't. It, however, might serve him well to be somewhat forthcoming when it's not all that necessary, so he can build up that goodwill with the press and the fan base so it's there when he needs to tell them to eff off. He's not Belichick just yet.

And I'm a fan. First coach, since Earl, that I've truly liked as a person.

Maybe it would serve the media and fanbase to stay the fuck out of it bc it has nothing to do with them.

Anyone have a remedy for the aftermath of too much cheese?

1. Ohio State University, the school, the buildings, the stadium, the great seal, the copyrighted name, the books in the libraries, all belong to the people of Ohio.
2. Because they are not public entities, schools like Notre Dame and companies like the New England Patriots, can tell the press to fuck off. They are not accountable to the citizenry - witness the scissor lift incident.
3. Like it or not, Ohio State football is public property. People who work for the university, especially in positions of greater responsibility, are accountable to the public. Their credentials, salaries, and benefits can be accessed.
4. Would you, the media, and the public accept such vague answers from President Johnson if she failed to disclose student health issues, corruption by officers of the school, proposed changes to admission policies, guidelines on financial aid, changes in graduation requirements? She knows that the responsibility to answer tough questions comes with the territory.
5. Ryan Day knew that dealing with the press was a part of his responsibilities when he took the job. And yeah, I don't know a single coach that hasn't at one time or another gone off on the media for good or bad reasons, but the press has the right to ask those questions.
6. IMO, Day only adds to his problem by being so vague and giving the appearance of being above public scrutiny. You want the press on your side so that when the day comes that you need them they're at least sympathetic if not on your side.
7. I think Buckeye coaches must believe they live in the days of Woody Hayes and Paul Hornung, when the Dispatch reporter acted as the coach's PAO and the national press seldom had to be dealt with beyond Michigan and bowl games.
