Well done as always.

IMO the Buckeye came out ahead swapping Chip Kelly for O’Brien.  Promoting Laurenitias to linebackers coach should also work out well for them

There, said something nice about the Buckeyes for this year,

I have nothing nice to say about your program but from what I'm seeing the Buckeyes may lose Laurinaitis to the NFL.

agreed. they always seem to fall into a pile of sh*t and then emerge smelling like roses and come out even better. it's fcking infuriating. luckiest bastards in the sport.

BoB was a terrible hire, and they wound up hitting a stroke of luck and getting to replace him with Chip freakin' Kelly before BoB ever even starts. Chip might've lost his fast ball and the game definitely passed him by in terms of being a HC- all the recruiting, portal, NIL stuff- but if you have Chip Kelly strictly coaching, designing & calling plays- and that's it- holy f**k that's a win.

Laurenitias has big-time potential to be a stud recruiter/coach like Hartline. Young energetic guy that played the position he's coaching in college at a high level at Ohio State and had a decent NFL career. Could see him cleaning up on the trail going after LB'ers.

I guess I'm in the minority here of preferring BoB over Kelly.  I liked that BoB was going to help w/ QBs, while Kelly is more of a pure OC.  Kelly also seems less interested in recruiting than BoB, which means we will need to rely on other assistants to do the leg-work there.  I'm worried the game may have passed Kelly by to some extent, but obviously I'm willing to give him a chance.  It'll be interesting to see how Ryan's pass happy offense and Kelly's run-heavy + spread option type offense will fuse.  BoB seemed to fit in more closely to what Ryan currently runs, but Kelly has a long time relationship with Day so I'm sure they'll figure something out.

Mike Hart interviewing with OSU for RB coach job? Is this legit? How weird would that be if they just traded RB coaches? 

can we trade WRs coaches too?

I can't think of a better place for Alabama's center to transfer to.

Why don't you and DL Coach Scruggs drive down and scout the Spring game?Oh wait is he allowed to get behind a wheel yet?

Ryan Day sure does seem like he loves to make excuses...blame mclaughlin's snapping issues on someone else...yeah...not mclaughlin's fault even a little bit at all.
