Even after this shit show of a special team’s season this guy is getting a bowl bonus of $85,000.
Just like Larry Holmes this dude is laughing all the way to the bank.

You kids stay off my lawn!
Putting together an all time coaching staff, Head Coach: Sparty's John Smith, Offensive Coordinator: Bryan Ferentz, Defensive Coordinator: Kerry Combs, Special Teams: Parker Fleming, Strength and Conditioning: Bret Bielama, Strategic Advantage and Rings Coordinator, Charlie Weis.
Any other suggestions?
BTW: WTF kind of football name is Parker Fleming? Sounds like someone from the club in a P.G. Wodehouse book. "Jeeves, old chap, can you book a table at the Whitshire for Parker Fleming and me?"

Column: Parker Fleming still being employed by Ohio State is coaching malpractice
The Buckeyes are actively hamstringing themselves on the recruiting front by holding onto their dead weight special teams coordinator.By Gene Ross@Gene_Ross23 Dec 13, 2023, 10:01am EST
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/72958923/1034589236.0.jpg "COLLEGE FOOTBALL: SEP 08 Rutgers at Ohio State")
I can’t believe I have to write this on Dec. 13, now 18 full days removed from Ohio State’s third-straight loss to its biggest rival in the only game of the year that it absolutely has to win, but the fact that Parker Fleming has not yet been fired is a glaring reflection of Ryan Day’s shortcomings as a program builder, as a staff builder and as a decision maker.
I’m sure Fleming is a great dude, and by all accounts he is very well-liked within the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. That doesn’t exempt him from being terrible at his job, as the Buckeyes’ special teams unit has been one of the worst in the country over the past two seasons under Fleming’s watch. Day cannot afford to be Mr. Nice Guy as the functional GM of Ohio State football, one of the largest brands in the entirety of the sport. It is time to cut the rope.
There is absolutely no reason to have a full-time special teams coach at this level — for more reasons than one. The first and most obvious is that if you are going to do this, your special teams unit should be among the best in the nation, which Ohio State’s is abhorrently not. The Buckeyes repeatedly made incredibly frustrating and correctible mistakes in both the kicking and punting game, resulting in avoidable penalties and bad field position — See: the Michigan game.
Secondly, it is resulting in a lopsided coaching staff that is leaving Ohio State behind the eight-ball when it matters most. Because you are wasting one of your 11 full-time coaching spots (including the head coach) on special teams, that means you can now only have four coaches on one side of the football. Effectively, Ohio State has been playing with six offensive coaches (including Day) and only four defensive coaches. As a result of Fleming’s position, it has left the Buckeyes without a full-time linebackers coach. Would you like to guess which defensive position has been the biggest problem against the Wolverines of late?
What makes this staff alignment even more frustrating is that the obvious candidate for the full-time linebackers spot is already in the building, as James Laurinaitis was added as a graduate assistant prior to this season. It would certainly help out the position if a former two-time team captain, three-time All-American, Butkus and Bronko Nagurski winner and the all-time leading tackler for the St. Louis Rams could assist with linebacker play on game day, but it appears Ryan Day is happy to watch his team collect procedural special teams penalties, miss field goal attempts and fail fake punts instead.....

Wolverine is largest member of weasel family
I think we all knew it wasn't this guy who was carjacked, because that would mean he was doing at least part of his job.

Nah I think others are right... Day is trying to take the Urban Meyer route, aka "he left to pursue other coaching opportunities" and not the Saban/Deion route of "Your fired" publicly.....

I'm starting to think he's our sign stealer, and the title of ST Coordinator is just a cover. When Day says he does "other things" well and never says what those other things are......are they legal?
