I know nothing of Tavien personally and taking everything with a grain of salt currently bc it is absolutely “ass-covering” time at the WHAC.

This weekend I was told he already had a sense of entitlement to him, and then outright losing job to Fahey created a pretty untenable situation. It’s understood both sides are moving on after season…just trying to keep it as professional as possible through end of regular season.

The days of having an experienced backup are over. There are no longer Jr's backing up your senior QB that have been in the system 3 years.

I think your best bet would be to get a 5th-year multi-year starter with a high floor, who would come to tOSU for a year to be the backup for 6 figures. It isn't like Temu Mahomes has been spectacular for Oregon and he really should have been the best case scenario as a backup QB for any program.

I don't know how realistic it is to expect to find an experienced and high floor guy willing to come be a backup.

I think QB position because of NIL and 5 year shelf life is going to be very NFL-like. You are in a lot of trouble if you lose your starter.

Back ups might have talent and no experience or demonstrated experience at being talent challenged but I don't see much middle ground on thsi one. They are going to want a promise to start, not even compete for the spot if they are transferring in. A really talented HS kid might come sit a year or two but not a transfer (starting caliber transfer anyway)

He probably didn't have a real high ceiling; but he was willing to come and be a backup. Even getting someone like Gunnar Hoak would be a "plus":

Former Kentucky quarterback Gunnar Hoak transferred to Ohio State as a graduate transfer in April 2019.
  • Player: Gunnar Hoak (Dublin Coffman High School product and Ohio native)
    • Transfer Date: April 2019
    • Eligibility: Arrived with two remaining seasons of eligibility
    • Context: Hoak returned to his home state and joined a quarterback room that featured Justin Fields and Chris Chugunov.
