tOSU recruits itself

We say that about a lot of schools, until they don't.

this. OSU has A LOT to sell to a kid, history, tradition, success, NFL draft picks, stability, winning, facilities, etc., etc., BUT still need someone to go out and sell it to kids and their families. 

[FearlessF]

yes, but most schmucks in a sweat suit can do that

don't have to be a killer recruiter

not exactly true. there are lot of good coaches who just flat suck at recruiting or just downright hate it and put zero effort into it.  never said you have to be a killer recruiter at a place like OSU, but you do have to at least be an adequate and willing recruiter who puts some effort into it.

BoB is apparently gone to BC. Day said they had some contingency plans - interesting to see what happens with that. The most interesting rumor has been Chip Kelly. He's interviewing for the Seahawks and clearly he and UCLA want to break up, but he needs to find a landing spot.

Chip Kelly as an OC would be a massive upgrade. BoB is a flaccid penis whose entire career consists of riding the coattails of Bill Belichik, Tom Brady, and Nick Saban.

Would be SO on brand for OSU to dodge a bullet and replace one OC for one ten times better. Luckiest fking school in the world. Can’t y’all just hire a dogsh*t coach for once and keep him around for awhile?

BoB is turrible.  Definitely addition by subtraction any time he leaves your organization.

Well that was fast…

Chip Kelly to OSU as OC

[847badgerfan]

Wow.

Now, we have to watch the UCLA rumors.

PL Barnum's name has come up as a possibility.

He's perfect for Hollywood...

Would UCLA let him row the boat with all of his ROW shit plastered everywhere?

That's pretty wild, all things considered. But I like it a lot, and better than BoB. Not that I thought BoB was bad, but Day wants a guy who can run his system and improve the run game. Considering Day is a Chip protege, and Chip is aces when it comes to rushing the ball, a really good fit. He hates recruiting, but Day and cash would be doing that.

So, can we just end it now?  It was mildly concerning about the future of FBS when low FBS head coaches would leave for Power 5 coordinator jobs.  If schools can poach head coaches from within their own conference to be coordinators, what are we still doing here?

If you are a fan of the top 8 schools, good for you.  But the gap between the haves and have nots has grown to an obscene level.  Honestly if you are a helmet school who doesn't make the 12 team playoff, your coach should be fired on the tarmac, Lane Kiffin style
