I'm also surprised they didn't do the traditional broad search for biggest names. Then again, Tressel was a small name. I'd call that a gamble that worked but even in retrospect a surprising gamble, though. I feel similarly now.

obviously OSU thinks Ryan Day is the GUY

This may prove to be true. But what standard do you hold Day to?
It is just not realistic to expect the win % of the coach with the best win % of all active coaches, and only behind Rockne and Leahy.

Absolutely. But I think both of our points run parallel. There are many positive signs and he's hard to judge. He is an entirely new name who could be *great*. Also: Is a gamble. If we were asked if we'd believe this hire in 2016, we wouldn't have. And if told it'd happen without a search, we'd admit the time traveler who told us to a hospital.

I'm imagining the meltdown that will take place if Luke Fickel somehow manages to pull of the upset when UC plays OSU next year.

They would give their left nut at OSU to keep him from it, and they said as much today.
Your not thinking clearly.

9 Big Ten teams never beat Meyer in his 7 years.

His offenses were light years ahead of anything in the Stone Age B1G.
He was as revolutionary as Tiller at Purdue. But he had all 5* and 4* recruits executing that offense not 3* and 2*’s nobody else wanted.
Urban is the best offensive head coach of his era. And it’s not close.

Saban is the only coach I’d put ahead of him.

Can you clarify?
I too think Urban was "forced to retire" but I think the person forcing him is prolly different than who you are saying.
Again I was told by someone who worked with Shelly, she never got over how piss poor Drake treated her and Urban in the BoR meeting, where he went lone wolf and suspended him for three more games. Right or wrong Shelly's opinion is they did everything they could do to help the Smith's and followed University/NCAA rules. Of course that's her opinion, but reports leaked out that it was everyone else opinion the room as well, except for Drake. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would love for Urban to go back into the studio, and remain active here on campus, but rumors are circulating that Shelly wants them to go down to Cincinnati to watch their son play baseball, and move back into their Florida home. (ie. done with Columbus.)

I wouldn’t even entertain that jibberish.( that Fearless posted)
He left on his terms, because he wanted too. Gene Smith was effusive in his praise, even saying OSU would be only too happy to have him not retire.
People want to change the narrative to their liking, twisting facts with their tin foil hats.

I'm sure Ohio State will still be very good, but I'm surprised they just promoted Day, when they could've hired some much more proven head coaches (Mark Stoops, Dino Babers, Luke Fickell, Matt Campbell would all presumably take the job if offered.... There was even a rumor about Bob Stoops this morning).

I thought Matt Campbell would be the wise and likely target.But Day is an up and comer and would have gotten offers.The program for the most part isn't broken just HC leaving.Bringing in another coach may involve a personnel over all.That probably would have been a bane to recruiting.So I understand this route - a seamless transfer.Thought for sure Urbz would step down next season and the AD would go after Campbell.I'll bet Matt Campbell today is maybe a little taken back as his named surfaced alot - but he'll find a top 10-15 gig in the near future

Promoting Day is mimicking what OU did 2 years ago, and it's worked out pretty well for them.
