Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Leonard should go to Iowa when Kirk Ferentz retires and make Wisc and Neb regret they ever passed on him.

that's if Iowa will even look at him. Nebraska didn't even bother taking a look and Wisconsin had him right there and said thanks but no thanks.

I think I  a vacuum, it's a home run hire, but this was Michigan's "down" year.  The OL will probably take a step back, but I think they'll be better at every other position next year.  OSU has to go to Ann Arbor with a new offense.  I don't see how they win, and when they don't, it's not the 90s anymore.  John Cooper doesn't have that same leash.  I think the OSU job is available 365 days from now

In some ways AU Fandom is like the NFL draft for Jets fans.  It doesn't matter what pick is made or who is hired. 

The NY Jets select ....Jesus!
 [AWwwwwww....booooooo..  Yeeeeeeah..... !]  It's pure pandemonium. 

did the loss to the Gophers cause Wisconsin to move on from Jim and go with the outsider?

The rumblings were that Fickell said he wasn't interested, and then in the last couple days decided he was. 

Before that, it was Jim's to lose, with Aranda maybe being the next option. Weird outcome, but I guess my team got an in-demand coach, and that's nice.

The heat is turned up high NOW on Day.  You know that when there are comments coming in from boosters and former players. 

But it is nuanced.  It isn’t just about losing. It’s about how your team plays and fights through adversity during such an important game. The buckeyes folded like a cheap tent when they clearly had the horses to not only win this game but probably dominate it to some extent. Hell, you could see it through the television and even the announcers were saying it repeatedly.

If Ohio State goes to Ann Arbor next year as a sizable underdog, which is highly likely, but plays their asses off and comes up short, you could make an argument that the heat will be less than it is now.  

 It was the untimely, self-inflicted and boneheaded penalties and complete lack of ability to play pass defense while the ball is in the air that has led to the heat being turned up right now. During the season they gave up the occasional big pass play but it was almost always a contested ball that the defensive back lost because they didn’t turn and look for the ball. This past Saturday it was any ball that was thrown in the air and there were no defensive backs near the receiver. When a tight end can get 15 yards behind the entire defense while the quarterback is being rushed in the pocket, That is beyond embarrassing.

My guess is that Fickell got interested when Wisconsin decided to meet Fickell's latest demands instead of taking Wisconsin's original proposal.

at least Day is losing to good Michigan teams

maybe it's time to bring back Meyer?

I can't think of another coach besides Saban that has a better record than Ryan
