Tickets were given to the Coaches by the Cotton bowl I’ve read. I think people are trying to make a much bigger deal out of this than they should.

I believe that Dennis and Frye should be fired but I don’t think the correlation is there like people are trying to imply.

I don't think it is a factor to the loss, but I believe it calls into question Day's leadership if there is no punishment for it. The team see's what is going on.

To be blunt, even if they were looking to replace Eliano, which I don’t think they are, hiring Guerrieri would result in a problematic lack of diversity on the coaching staff and I don’t think they would be interested in pursuing that.

Regarding Eliano, the safeties played great most of the year until Ransom was injured and Styles showed some flaws and took some bad angles. That’s from being out of position more than bad coaching, in my opinion. There’s a reason the general consensus seems to be that he needs to move to LB next season.

People are also disgruntled that Eliano “missed” on the NIL driven recruitments of Caleb Downs and KJ Bolden, which I really don’t think you can hold against him.

And even if recruiting was your main consideration in making the move, Guerrieri’s recruiting chops are a handful of years at Duke and one year at Indiana, I’m going to go out on a limb and say he wasn’t stacking elite classes at either place and has no proven track record recruiting at a high level making it is impossible to say if he’d be any better at the thing you’re ostensibly hiring him for.

I don’t know why they would be making any changes to the defensive staff other than adding JL or setting up the transition to a new DL coach.

    • A lot of speculation going on in various threads, so I thought it would be good to start a thread for all of us BP coaches and thoughts on coaching changes.

    I’m not going to speculate on who may be trending towards becoming a coach here, but just my thoughts on who may be/should be on there way out.

    Time to move on:
    Parker Fleming - This is just a no brainer

    Larry Johnson - Appreciate all Larry has done here, but the recruiting and the line play have plummeted the last couple years and just not what they need to be.

    Mickey Marotti - Too many injuries. Guys getting pushed around in the trenches. Like LJ the game has passed him by.

    Trending out the door:
    Corey Dennis- is he really the guy for this role, I don’t know. Rumored to be getting replaced.

    Justin Frye - I had high hopes here when Frye was brought in. I’m hoping he can turn things around next season.

    Fleming should’ve been gone yesterday. There’s zero reason to keep him right now and you’re missing out on valuable last minute opportunity for Laurinaitis to go out on visits.

    I don’t think Dennis will go. Fitch is the actual QB coach. Dennis just has the title because he’s a better recruiter. Day’s not going to be open about exploiting the rules in that regard, but I think that’s the truth.

    Being a good guy is going to cost day in this recruiting cycle and future..

    LJSr - HoF coach but he's done , he needs to retire, especially if Houston flips..
    Flemming - the moment Scott decommitted should have been the last straw and it announced he's leaving
    Marotti - listed above very well. Old antiquated methods and have cost us - time to go it was a good run

    No way he’s replaced without Urbs approval.

    Dennis - Last I checked Urbs was not Day's boss, or even employed in any capacity by the University - pretty clear QB development not good, if its "Fitch" much like Joe Daniels back in the day... Fitch needs to go as well....

    Frye - I got nothing here... clearly not getting it done recruiting, coaching is marginal....

    and I'll add a name to the list
    Bailey - clearly TEs took a step back in terms of blocking .... maybe another year but if Day is gonna count on his TEs blocking ... I dont have much hope.....

    I'm inclined to agree, although I'd like to see more from Frye. The rest is not quite Withers & Co., but isn't that far off. Would it not be unreasonable to assume that just like tOSU should be able to bring in 5-star recruits we should be able to bring in stud young coaches instead of re-treads and re-purposed 2-star guys? We have a QB coach who's never played QB and was a DB at GA Tech, but happens to be Urban's son in-law. Do any of us reasonably think he's coaching at Ohio State, otherwise? I think we saw the diminishing returns this season and I don't see how it gets any better. I could've listened to Day and then "coached" Haskins, Fields, and Stroud. Similarly, Bailey's bounced around and never been a tight end.
