Agree. Sort of no man’s land. We hate our rival but good lord. Day will have the Bucks top 12 8/10 years. His QB acumen and recruiting are big shoes to fill.

I hate all other candidates.

Not trying to be a doodoo head, but how's that QB acumen worked out the past two years? He did great with Fields (and largely Urban roster), pretty good with Stroud. Since? McCord was okay and he utterly failed to have a backup ready to play the bowl game. This year he went out and got a somewhat flawed veteran and we saw the warts today. Not sure what exactly to expect from the position going forward, to be honest.

I look at it like this: he’s had Fields, Stroud, MHJr, Wilson, Olave, JSN and more.

Is it reasonable to expect that he(or anyone) can ever recruit enough talent to win if he couldn’t win with them?

Shit, it's not even the talent HE has. He couldn't beat THAT tCun team? That's a mediocre team further depleted by missing two of their best players. With a walk on QB? The worst tOSU team of the last 20 years should be able to beat that team.

This is by far worse than any of the Cooper losses. 95 & 96 were unforgivable but those were still good scUM teams that just underachieved. This scUM team bumbled into 6 wins heading into this game and they were reasonably lucky not to be 4-7 heading into the game. They will likely get smoked by some SEC chump in their bowl game.

Check my math but he’s what?
1-4 vs tsun
1-3 CFP (and counting)
1-1 NY6/Bowls

What are we afraid of again? Being able to find a coach that can win 1/3 of these kind of games?

We are afraid of being FSU. This isn't a binary choice. Our options aren't ONLY stay the same or do better. Things can get a lot worse and acknowledging that fact should be a factor in this entire equation.

Not saying we need to keep Day, but we need to be sure it's an upgrade.

There is no way to guarantee a better replacement. It’s a possible condition of the choice.

Stand or hit are your two choices. What happens when you hit isn’t totally in your control so it isn’t an option. It’s a result.

You can do your homework and prepare the best you can but you can’t “choose” an upgrade.

Are we so sure day can keep up 10+ every year? He could very well devolve into 9-3/8-4 mediocrity they way he clearly does not learn from his mistakes and refuses to stop coaching with stubborn ignorance . Eventually his fortune vs Ped State is gonna run out
