Who the fuck do we hire that’s an upgrade? That’s the problem.

IMO you won’t upgrade… but can we get someone who wins the games that matter? Yes.

The more I think of it the more I think that answer is Marcus Freeman. Does he lose games he shouldn’t? Yep. Has he had a few very good seasons yep.

Marcus is young, kids love him, he’s a buckeye, and more importantly he understands the stakes of TCUN game.

Will we lose to Penn State occasionally? Maybe. Will we maybe lose to Texas in the non conference? Maybe. Will he not get the rivalry game? Absolutely not.

So my short list is Marcus Freeman and Dan Lanning. The more I thought about it the more we really shouldn’t go to guys like Saban, Meyers etc.

All I know is I’ve seen enough. I love Ryan Day because he’s a fine person but it’s just not working here.

Freeman’s not the answer. If he wasn’t an OSU alum, you wouldn’t even be throwing him out there as a potential replacement.

James Franklin is somehow worse than Day in big games, beating him means nothing

That’s my point lol…

As for keeping Day because you’re afraid of what could happen. Guys yes the risk is there to get worse but you all really want to roll with Cooper 2.0?

Hoping it gets better isn’t a strategy and there’s certainly coaches out there who have more experience that would bring things to the table that Ryan Day doesn’t.

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.

Who cares what he does with QBs… what does he do with OL? With the running game? With coaching in big games.

Way too much “well he recruits well”… so would the next guy. This is Ohio State and elite kids will play here regardless.

The list of upgrades is bigger than you may think. With all due respect, the Olentangy Liberty coach could win 9 or 10 games with this roster. So really the only thing Day brings is recruiting and a big name……the big name is shrinking fast and recruiting may follow

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?
