I dont think so, that's overstated. They want to beat their rivals but they want to contend for national titles more

Ofc they do

 

I'm on record that Ohio state is the only Northern school that will ever win a national championship again

 

I'm a Notre Dame Homer but I don't think they have it and I don't think Michigan does either...

Not an OSU fan, but last night should be the end of Day's tenure.

 

Lose to Michigan, drive your starting QB out of the program with no backup plan, embarrassing offense against a beatable SEC opponent. 

 

Buh-bye now.

I agree about Day, but the Big Ten had a major issue with substandard QB play this year, and I don’t think McCord was going to make Day look good going forward either. I’m watching the Peach Bowl right now, and Dart for Ole Miss is capable of playing the position, while Allar for PSU looks completely lost. That’s what I’ve seen comparing Big Ten games to other conferences all season. I think that conference as a whole could use an infusion of fresh coaching ideas.

Finally some good news!  It would be a huge coup for Day to get Tyleik, JT and Sawyer all back. 

 

 

 

That's nice, but if we don't have a QB we are TOAST. We have been through that with the Bills for over a decade and it sucks... 

 

If Day loses to TTUN next year and flops even in a 12 team playoff he'll be labeled as the 21st century John Cooper.

I agree that they should add a QB and OL. Potential transfers are coming through in the coming weeks and hopefully they hit. Otherwise, I don’t know… play Noland next year as a true freshman like they did with Pryor and just hope for a fun season? It’s not great right now. Day losing the last two games of the season two years in a row looks a lot like Cooper - especially this year. The Cotton Bowl was an absolute disaster and changed my outlook on him a bit. We’ll see how the next few weeks go.

It's depressing, because Ryan Day coached the best game of his life vs. UGA and still lost, but now we see how amazing Stroud is. He may have been the beneficiary of Urban's framework and Stroud's ability, and that to me is so sad... our defense got so much better but the play calls on offense and the QB play doomed us.

Day has a lot of credibility with me. I thought he did great in 2019 and called an incredible game against Clemson -- the Wade ejection, Dobbins injury, and Okudah pick reversal doomed them that game. He kept the team together through Covid in 2020 and had the team playing for the natty -- he was undone that time by the best Alabama offense I've ever seen and about a 1/3 of the roster out with injuries.  Since then he's won a ton of games but the criticism that the team seems a little soft is resonating. I don't know why some of these younger coaches still have jobs at Ohio State. I cannot understand why he would make such a big deal about the Cotton Bowl, and then run just six light practices and bench his center over a stupid podcast appearance. How could the QB position be in such disarray with his track record and Hartline's run with the WRs? Why isn't Ohio State in the portal just buying up a new OL?  Day gets the benefit of the doubt with me for another run here, but man right now the program does not appear as well organized and ferocious as I normally expect.

The guy they wanted….
 

 

 

We're doing dances over here, to be honest... this guy is a mobile weapon of destruction that could very well save Day's job and propel them forward! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this portal pickup... he is miles more confident with the football than McCord ever was.

Did not see this coming…

 

 

I was surprised. How does it change Hartline’s role. I would like to see Day call the plays. Maybe he’s HC in waiting if things don’t work out? I wonder how much they are paying him. I think it aligns to the new AD’s aggressive nature.

JULIAN SAYIN from Carlsbad, that's why (my wife thought this was why and she nailed it!)

 

 

Alabama QB Julian Sayin in transfer portal: Why Ohio State is favored to land former five-star recruit

 

"When Sayin originally committed, he chose Alabama over both Georgia and LSU. He said during his announcement that he wanted to be coached by Saban and O'Brien. Though Saban is out of the coaching game, O'Brien is now Ohio State's offensive coordinator, which could make the Buckeyes a team to watch as Sayin determines his next step.

 

In fact, there appears to be significant momentum for the Buckeyes to land the services of the former five-star recruit. 

 "I'd be shocked if he didn't end up at Ohio State," a source told 247Sports' Chris Hummer Friday."

I think Day may have been overwhelmed with his duties as head coach, de facto OC, de facto QB coach, and playcaller. Bringing in someone with experience running an offense will help with all that - hopefully. I agree with you about Day as a playcaller but would also like to see him take on more of a CEO role than trying to do everything himself on that side of the ball. Glad to see Dennis move on to other things. As for Hartline, my sense was his promotion was intended to give him a pay raise and honor his work as WR coach, but I don't know about his interest or ability to take over the whole offense.  

 

Between the big roster retentions, portal moves, and a high-profile hire like this, Day sure seems to be coaching like his back is against the wall.

Any idea how he compares to Howard or even Noland?
