2024 Ohio State Season Thread

[OrangeAfroMan]

UW's Locke had more TDs than INTs and a 118 rating.
UM's QBs all together had more INTs than TDs and a 111 rating.
.
Locke was better.  Terrible, but better.

[FearlessF]

whew!, glad that's settled

[FearlessF]

If Ohio State decides to fire Day this week, it would cost $37,276,042, as of Dec. 1, 2024. That’s according to information in USA Today’s coaching salary database. It’s the 17th-highest buyout in the country, per USA Today.

that's easily 3 times the NIL $$$ spent this season

just saw this talked about on a podcast with Andy & Ari…Ohio State’s 2021 class was the #1 class with the #1 player (Ewers) and they signed SEVEN composite five stars and that senior class is now 0-4 vs Michigan. Yikes. 

[SuperMario]

Continuing to rely on Ohio State’s greatest weakness, which is their offensive line, to run directly into Michigan’s greatest strength, which was their defensive line, was bizarre.

This! I still can’t wrap my head around the thinking that could have possibly lead to it.

[MrNubbz]

If you fire Day who will you get better than him? That’s a major risk to take.

You picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue if you believe that. No it isn't Hartline played under Tressel,coached under Urban he knows what it takes to prepare and expects performance and he recruited the WR room.Day is a propped up fraud that brought in next to nothing on the lines.Urban in just 7 years(Day is in year 6) had 2 Rimington Award winners on his O-Line alone with many all Big Ten/All-Americans.Cryin' Ryan made massive head wound Harbaugh look like Pop Warner

[MrNubbz]

Oh I feel your pain, but let us know if you had a stat line like this for a game. A whole game lol

There was one game where Locke had a rating of 18. So yeah.

LUV IT Bastages and Woefulrines on a Suckeye thread arguing whose QB's tanked more.How much we've all fallen.But hey the beer is staying cold and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ❆❄❅❆ 

[MaximumSam]

Taking all the emotion out of it, not bad to lose the game. They have a good chance at a home game in the playoffs. Of course, major question if they can block anyone in that game.

[MrNubbz]

Not paying 10.3 million for this ponzi scheme,whack him so the program can start a new

[MrNubbz]

Got his from another board 

It starts at the top so without Day being fired, no other changes matter.  Knowles was great before coming to OSU, Chip Kelly was great before coming to OSU and LJ was the best DL coach in NCAA before Day became the HC.  Common thread is Day sucks.

Sounds like the other guy i quoted

[SuperMario]

But day doesn’t suck. Isn’t he 47-1 against the rest of the conference? I think sometimes fan bases that get accustomed to winning, take for granted how much they win when a coach or player struggles in a key moment. It’s going to happen. You guys haven’t had a Brady Hoke era in like 4 decades so I don’t think Day is that bad. That being said, yesterday was possibly his poorest performance in his career.

[Mdot21]

Day is objectively a great coach by every measure. He just seems to have one problem. And at Ohio State that’s a pretty big problem to have.

True.  He is 1-4 versus the arch rival.  

just like Kirby is 1-6 versus his, but Kirby has a Natty.
