If we can keep him as a recruiter fine, but his impact on being able to recruit elite players will be nullified soon by his showing as a fucking horrible coach....

hmmmmm usually I'm on page with you, but I see nothing based on the routes we run that would lead me to believe he can coach WRs any better than he can run an offense.

Well this is based on he fact he was a WR coach when Kansas wasn't a dumpster fire. Not much to go on but the dude has killed on the recruiting trail and any change with him COULD have ripple affects with Jones ('18 QB) or other recruits

I agree, I think we have to weigh current recruits against future recruits. My concern is that I could see Jones reopening his recruitment after last night. One thing is for certain, he is no QB whisperer...

Tell Beck he can keep making a half mil a year doing recruiting only (and carrying shine boxes) and that he is free to look for other employment at his leisure. Getting stonewalled by fucking Sparty and two shit-bomb performances against solid defense in scUM and Clemson shows he just isn't an OC.

I get what you're saying, and I agree, Beck has value as a recruiter. If he could stay on in that capacity ONLY, he's worth keeping around. But if his recruiting comes at the cost of the offense's production, what good are recruits like Jones, anyway. Players come and go, but coaches are your continuity. He cannot have any input on gameplanning, QB coaching, or playcalling going forward. The offense this year was mostly awful against any defense with a pulse. Wasnt much better last year with a lineup full of NFL draft picks. Take away BG, Nebraska, Rutgers, and Maryland and it was far below average. There's too much talent here for that to be the case.

Fuck this guy. With a cactus. Fucking hack.
What happened to the power O? What happened to the counter? What happened to the zone read option? When he FINALLY called a deep pass last night, it was play action. Yeah, like that's gonna work when you've given your RB the ball three times in the entire game.
Pussy ass pansy game plan. Just concede instead of subjecting the kids to that shit. I'm so pissed right now.

If I were the head coach, he would not need me to tell him what i'm thinking...he'd be asking me about how we separate in the easiest and most fair way. He most certainly wouldn't be near the team ever again in a coaching capacity.

Wrong glass, Sir.
The guy just doesn't have what it takes at this level. Your high school physics teacher might do a decent job, be a great guy and might really kill his secondary role as JV soccer coach, but that doesn't mean he's fit to step into the physics department at the University of Chicago. And that's what Ohio State tried to do: replace a world class physicist with a high school science teacher.

Several of you have been leaders of organizations and teams. I can't imagine that anyone who listens to this and has been in a leadership position would arrive at a different conclusion than I do after listening to this.
What I hear is that Beck is absolutely clueless. He speaks in vague generalities and cliches ("tendencies, identities, lot of factors, 3rd and 5th year seniors") because he doesn't know what to do in practice. If I have someone working for me like this, he is on his way out the door.

Now, I have to self-moderate.
Let it out, it's cathartic. He's 50. He's a grown man!
