It’s looking like Ohio State will go to the portal after all and rent this guy for one more year of his eligibility.
-
Is he really an upgrade over McCord?
I thought they wanted Cam Ward.

I thought they wanted Cam Ward.
I guess it’s a matter of opinion. He is definitely an upgrade on mobility, running the quarterback, keeper, and quarterback, draw, and competitiveness via experience.
The real question is, is he an upgrade over their current quarterbacks because McCord’s already gone.

I get that for sure, and yes, he is.
But they "ran off" McCord why again?
-

But they "ran off" McCord why again?
Apparently he wanted a guarantee that he would be the starter next year and Ryan Day told him and his father that he is the front runner, but there are no guarantees. That plus he was not super happy with his NL opportunities compared to other quarterbacks out there. And I hear the final straw was how brutal the fans were to him after the Michigan loss. I really don’t think Ryan wanted him to leave.
I can’t prove this, but if he plays last night, I think Ohio State wins that game rather easily with the way their defense was playing
-
Fan base ran off McCord
-
Why Syracuse???
Step down except for the guarantee of a starter
-

IMO - no,not with his mobility and performance under pressure.Maybe/might have pulled it off but not easily and certainly w/o Marv there to make him look good
-
Why Syracuse???

Less chance a fanbase is gonna crush you? And if you kick ass, can go pro all the same, or grad transfer?
(I think every QB who leaves because they've not been good enough should go somewhere they think they can put up numbers)
-
You could put up numbers at Syracuse and not get noticed

Nobody should demand that. You compete every year, plain and simple.
-
He'll wind up getting drafted out of Syracuse by some east coast team with an even more uncharmable fan base.
-
Nobody should demand that. You compete every year, plain and simple.
He also shouldn't be complaining about his NIL $. He wasn't trash, but he wasn't exactly great either. He wasn't even "very good." You can't be an okay QB and expect to get paid like the superstars just because you're the QB at Ohio State.
-
His nickname was Honda, and there's a Honda plant in Columbus. If he couldn't make something happen there, good luck in upstate NY.

hey, Honda isn't flashy, it's just a well built, solid, reliable car. Which is what McCord was as a QB. Sure he wasn't CJ Stroud or Justin Fields- who are more akin to like Porsche or Mercedes in this analogy, but things could always be worse, as we just saw in Ohio State's bowl game- those other OSU QB's looked like straight up beaters if we're talkin' cars. Grass isn't always greener.
Day is screwed if he can't get a portal QB ASAP imo. And IF he loses to Michigan...AGAIN....at home...his ass is grass.
-

had to move on from him,his meddling dad and his request to guarantee to start was just ass. He will always throw that pick in close games like a month ago - twice.Think Spreight in 2016 in C-Bus on the goal line - he just can't adjust. Lineman jumping off Day still hanging on to play calling - get up in the booth then.The Cotton Bowl just shows how many holes are in Ryan Day's ability to head a Blue Blood.The cupboard was full when he arrived and 5 yrs later this is where his direction has taken the Program
-
I'm less interested in the QB than the offensive line. That was a joke they put on the field on Friday. If they are merely competent then the QB will be fine, whoever it is.
-
How can South Dakaota score 10 vs Mizzou,Freakin' Vanderbilt scored 21 vs them,even injury plagued Middle Tennessee St scored 19 against their defense.Eat Shit Ryan Day,give back half of that 9.6 million per.Booger is/was wrong about alot but he had Mr 3rd Base pegged
-
Nubbz,
Pssst... he's not giving back the money.
Gotta get the AD to restructure the contract like the Michigan men did for Jimmy.
Powerful motivation
-

they have issues at both QB and OL imo.
Day needed McCord to stay for his SR year and take a leap with a year under his belt (which he likely would have) while they took the 2024 season to develop true frosh Air Noland.

They cut his pay 1st that was my point,Day hasn't won the Big Ten East in over 3 yrs.Take acut or take to the road.Superb efforts by Stroud and Marv got them there last season not a whole lot that beard dying weirdo did

Mr. N. with the pitchfork out!

Who would OSU hire if it fired Ryan Day?
Does OSU come after Fickell?
I'm bombing Columbus if so. I'll give Max and @grillrat (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=11) enough notice to evacuate.
-
I dunno I'd let him him go in the middle of the season if he picks up where he left off. Give them plenty of time for a search,I'd imagine OSU insiders are looking for candidates like Booger looking for a way out of AA maybe he can give 3rd Base a ride and they both can go out together.
-
Mr. N. with the pitchfork out!
That's okay Ryan dear you can back up the Brinks trucks to the tune of 9.6 mil.annually w/o winning a Big Ten Title since the covid season and with you know whose roster.No worries you control freak if you can't relenquish play calling duties then at least get yourself up in to the booth where you can see what the hell is going on.Get your focus off that laminated sheet and that shoe polished tumble weed and into the game. His seat isn't just hot one would be safer in a cabin on Mt St Helens in 1980

During the Tressel search no one could agree on who their first choice was, but everybody's second choice was unanimously Glenn Mason.
Fick will be the Glenn Mason.

The analogy was that everyone liked Mason okay, he'd just beaten OSU that year, but he wasn't anyone's dream coach. He was their fallback guy.

Anyone with a clue would have taken GM over Tenesee John in '88.The guys resume wasn't really good but E.Gordon Gee with his tie on too tight eveidently was watching when He coached ASU to a win vs the Wolverines.

Buckeye fans should be pretty pumped about that.

I'm not sure. Will Howard is a big dude with a big arm who is on NFL radars, so he's probably an upgrade on what they had last season, though still not as good as Stroud.

One of the SEC’s best running backs from the past two seasons is headed to Ohio State.
Just moments after Michigan won the national championship (https://www.elevenwarriors.com/college-football/2024/01/144699/michigan-wins-first-national-title-since-1997) on Monday night, Ohio State got some good news to soften the blow from two-time All-SEC running back Quinshon Judkins, who announced his transfer from Ole Miss to the Buckeyes.
It’s a major addition for Ohio State’s offense as Judkins ran for 2,725 yards and 31 touchdowns in just two seasons at Ole Miss.

Along with Ransome, Sawyer, Ty Hamilton, Tyleik Williams, Burke- Damn near the whole defense. Would gravy if JTT comes back too.

Egbuka returning too. Very nice.

Egbuka returning + Judkins RB in portal is huge for OSU. Keeps the skill talent at a high level but also experienced and not having to break in rookies.
Howard better be that dude at QB. Cause OSU will be really good at the skill positions and the OL *should* improve.

I am more excited about the defense with two of their best three defensive lineman, returning plus Sawyer on the defensive end, Hancock and Burke at the corners Hansom at Safety coming back.
still waiting to see if Henderson comes back back and running back and JTT at DE come back.
-
Outside of watching TTUN win it all, pretty good week for OSU. Roster will be loaded next year.
-
My guess is Henderson goes pro, RBs have a short shelf life in NFL and sooner you get there and with less wear and tear on the body- more money you can make.
JTT should come back, don’t think he’s quite 1st rd just yet- but DE’s are a premium position like QB where they get drafted high regardless.

Columbus, Ohio - The aftermath of the legendary Alabama football (https://www.tag24.com/sports/football/college-football)coach Nick Saban's retirement (https://www.tag24.com/sports/football/college-football/nick-saban-alabamas-iconic-head-coach-announces-retirement-3063834)has sparked a mass exodus of his players to the transfer portal, as teams look for a with one of the star Crimson Tide players.
Coach Saban's retirement sent shockwaves through the college football world on Wednesday night. But what's perhaps even more shocking is the wave of athletes (https://www.tag24.com/sports/athletes)seeking transfers in the wake of his departure.
One standout player who's entered the transfer portal is Caleb Downs (https://www.tag24.com/sports/athletes/caleb-downs-the-countrys-no-1-high-school-safety-commits-to-crimson-roll-tide-2562303), a former No. 1 ranked safety from the 2023 recruiting class. Speculation is rife that Downs, who was part of the Alabama squad that defeated two-time national champions Georgia, is a prime target of Ohio State.
Downs quickly became a trending topic on X, as fans took notice of his recent follows. He started following a host of current Ohio State players, including recent Buckeyes commits from the transfer portal like quarterback Will Howard from Kentucky and running back Quinsjhon Judkins.
The Buckeyes seem to be making strategic moves in the transfer market, and fans are eagerly watching to see if Downs will join the ranks of the scarlet and gray.

I've had high hopes for him each year for it seems like a decade and various injuries and OL Deficiencies have conspired to hold him back. If everything lines up right, he could have a special year!

More good news. Bryson Rodgers was having great bowl practices. Hartline picked him for a reason.

Ohio State is seriously going to be loaded in ‘24. They should be the early NC favorites along with UGA.

It’s actually funny that what you said is the narrative- but you’re right. In many circles it is.
IMHO- Day has only lost one game to Michigan that he should have won.
In 19, he smoked them. ( and let’s not forget- he was also responsible for the offense for the two seasons prior to that which also smoked Michigan.)
In 20- UM wimped out- but we all know how that game would have gone.
In 21- Michigan was just plain better. OSU had Coombs as DC, and teams ran on them all year, including Oregon, in Columbus. Michigan just pushed them around.
In 22- this is the one where Day clearly froze up and choked. OSU was a better team, Corum was out, and the game was in Columbus. The players also followed the coaches lead and you could see it clearly. So many self inflicted errors. How Ohio State played ( loose and aggressive) in their next game v Georgia validated it.
-In 23, Michigan was clearly the best team in CFB. Hands down. OSU had a very tall task to try to go into Ann Arbor and get a win, against a better team. They came VERY close to pulling it off. But Michigan was not only better- they played a near flawless game. Few penalties, and zero turnovers. Day’s margin for error that day was zero. I don’t look down on him for not beating UM that game. Nobody would have that day.
If you actually think about it- how many games has Day lost where he had the better team? ( and you can’t seriously count Missouri because their offense was a shell of the offense that won 11 games)
I can only think of 2. 2022 Michigan and 2019 Clemson( and the refs worked hard to get Clemson that game). And- he avenged loss by blowing Clemson out the next year and badly injuring their program.
So yes- that is the narrative. But it is more based upon perception than reality. That, and an unrealistic fan base.

Um no,O-Line - guard/RT are questions,Justin Frye better earn his keep or he's out the door with DAY if the O-Line falls on it's face.He has to portal in some bodies for depth. I'd be looking at Bama/Washington with HCs leaving. The LBs could be shaky and need a solid safety. While Jelani Thurman the no 4 ranked TE coming out of HS in '22 or Gee Scott jr. will be the starters at TE .Incoming Will Kacmarek from Ohio U is 6'6" 250 lbs a former DL can help pushing defenders around he has only had 42 catches and 2-TDs in 2 seasons but should get better with the talent around him
Incoming Will Howard does appear to be a step up at QB he threw for a 61.3% comp avg against Missouri, the team that held Ohio State to three points, Howard completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 270 yards with three touchdowns and a pick. Against Texas, a College Football Playoff team, he completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 327 yards with four touchdowns and an interception.So that is encouraging from what I've read Howard seems to produce more when he's rushed. He finished 2023 throwing for 2643 yds,24 TDs,10 picks and 351 yds rushing
-
So yes- that is the narrative. But it is more based upon perception than reality. That, and an unrealistic fan base.
Not unrealistic after 5 yr to expect better than that O-Line play - that's on Day with a month to prepare and making 9.65 mil per yr. Fix the trenches or hit the boulevard.

The defense is going to be outstanding. I am a bigger fan of the guys Ohio state has coming back than the ones they have grabbed in the portal. I don’t see Howard as an upgrade, and there is more than just smoke to Judkins being toxic in the locker room. A lot of teams said thanks but no thanks to him when he hit the portal, including Ole Miss for the price he was asking. The Bama center could be the biggest move for them. He is a very good lineman, and it’s an area of need. If he figures out the snaps or they slide him to guard he’ll be a great addition.
OSU and UGA should be 1A & 1B in the rankings to start the year. Oregon may be a front runner as well.
Buckeye boosters are fronting HUGE $$ to take a run at this in 24. It will either be successful or the house will burn down with a full regime change. When the big guns throw $1-$3 million at a whole bunch of players they expect a title, and they de facto own the team at that point. If it doesn’t go how they want heads will roll.
-
I'm sure the boosters are ponying up but I wouldn't say huge.Not sure this is regulated at all or a cap even.And where did you here about Judkins being toxic in the locker room? Maybe but that's the 1st I've heard but IMO they all are and if they are reciveing NIL they should pay for their schollie

That’s funny. Nobody said no to Judkins.
Nubbz- sometimes you just have to ignore certain people with their “Michigan” takes on things.
you see- when a bunch of players come back to Michigan instead of going into the draft like last season, it’s because they’re a great brotherhood and want to win it all. But when a bunch of players come back to Ohio State, it’s because I NIL money 😂

You’re not being realistic about the o- line. Unless you think they should be the best offensive line in college football every year.
you have to remember they put three starters into the NFL from last year’s offensive line, which was pretty damn good. This year’s offensive line improved virtually every week and by the end of the season did a fairly good job against an extremely good Michigan defense. Remember Ohio State had more yards and more passing yards and more first down than Michigan in the game. They rarely got pressure on the Ohio State quarterback, compared to what they did to Alabama and Washington.
and you can’t even count Missouri, because that was not even their offensive line. Perhaps their best lineman, the center, didn’t even play, and he is the person responsible to call the offensive line plays. And then they used a second string guy who graded out in the 40s on PFF. And on top of all that they had no quarterback, so the opposing team didn’t even have to worry about defending the pass.
I actually think their offensive line will be one of the better ones in the country in 24.

Obviously, I agree
just need the QB

This year’s offensive line improved virtually every week and by the end of the season did a fairly good job against an extremely good Michigan defense. Remember Ohio State had more yards and more passing yards and more first down than Michigan in the game. They rarely got pressure on the Ohio State quarterback, compared to what they did to Alabama and Washington.
What was Mizzou game? yes you can count it or it's cherry picking - I'm not a Wolverine fan,they weren't prepared simple as that,coaches and players
-

Bjork would arrive having just fired Texas A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher, which came at the cost of the highest buyout in the history of the sport. Texas A&M owes Fisher more than $76 million of the fully guaranteed deal. Bjork did not hire Fisher but was athletic director when the contract extension that led to the buyout was issued.
In the wake of Fisher's firing, Bjork executed an unartful coaching search that ended with the hiring of Mike Elko. It included a public courtship of Kentucky's Mark Stoops that backfired, as Stoops ultimately ended up staying at Kentucky. Texas A&M is not expected to make a push to keep Bjork.

Ohio State is hiring former Penn State and Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien as its new offensive coordinator (https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2024/01/144958/ohio-state-hires-bill-o-brien-as-offensive-coordinator).

Nothing like absolutely loading the roster to hire a very mediocre OC.

I'd prefer Ryan Day to Bill

Yikes. I don't get the infatuation with this guy? Other than riding Tom Brady's coattails, what the hell has he actually done?

Disagree he coached with Bellichik before going to PSU then the Texans. BOB also went 2-3 yrs with Saban ,so he had to pick up some pedigree. IMO Day had to choose carefully as he is on a very short leash.As long as tOSU wins at home vs the Ann Arbor Astros he survives another year if they are solid the rest of the season.

What did booger do in AA before picking up Weiss,Minter and the shining star Stalions?And Belichick is/was hell of an Xs & Os guy. The guys he put around Mr Bundchen where very solid,sans some injury seasons

Well let's see....
Jeem took a University of San Diego D2 college team from worst to first with back to 11-1 seasons. He then went to Stanford and took over literally the worst team in P5 and flipped them from 1-11 to 12-1 with a BCS bowl win. He then went to the NFL and took over a 49ers team that hadn't been to playoffs in a decade and went to the NFC championship game his very first year. He then proceeded to go to 2 more NFC championship games and a Super Bowl. Jeem never had a losing season in the NFL in 4 years and had a 70+% win percentage- which is pretty god damn impressive in the No Fun League.
I'd say booger boy was VERY proven before getting to Michigan.
BL'OB? Not so much. Again...what has this bloated loser ever done beside ride Tom Brady's coattails? He's just a less fat Charlie Weis.
-
I dunno what to think of BOB. I know a lot of people are critical and I've read some football guys who don't see how he and Ryan Day's systems can co-exist. That said, he made Christian Hackenberg look competent. People also forget his healthy Alabama offense torched one of the most loaded defenses we've ever seen. My feeling is that Day made this move because he is tired of his running game looking like ass and wants a new look there, but BOB is still a quarterback guy like Day.
-

BOB took over a sanction ladened PSU squad and made it respectable. Indicators are that Michigan will prolly be needing the same
-
so, Day is hiring BOB so Michigan can't get him to replace Harburger?
-
You drinking Bud light pot stirrer? I asked him What did booger do in AA before picking up Weiss,Minter and the shining star Stalions? So i get a diatribe about San Diego,Stanford and San Fran,no wonder these weasels fans can't keep up with the what happened

Not sure what to make of it either.
But am enjoying some of the Buckeyes irrational fan hypocrisy.
most have been SCREAMING for 3 years that Day needs to hire a play caller. So they go get one- a damn good one- and people bitch. 😂😂
Day is a very creative offensive mind, and game planner. That part will probably still be mostly him

this is my 2 cents on this....
Day is EASILY one of the very best offensive minds and offensive play callers in the game. Bar none. I understand that being a HC and running a MASSIVE program like Ohio State's is incredibly time consuming and all the responsibilities that go into being a HC are enormous....but to me hiring BOB to be the OC doesn't make a ton of sense. He's an old fixed in his ways fart. And he's a complete dick with a massive ego. And an ego that is unearned imo. I do think there could wind up being some friction there- just because BOB is a jerk off. Would've made much more sense to me for Day to go hire a young innovator up and comer to bounce ideas and strategies off. Not a failed New England retread makeover project.
-

Lol. Oh wow, he lead Penn State to 7-5 seasons. How amazing. Michigan will probably get a slap on the wrist. I doubt they'll get penalties as severe as Penn State. We'll see though.....in like 5 years....

not a huge stretch IMO

Uhhh.. what? You asked what Harbaugh accomplished before Michigan.. It was then listed off, which is a pretty powerful resume and you shruge it off as diatribe??? So you ask for facts. They get presented and then you blow them off because it counters your opinion on him? Odd interaction to be honest. You can dislike him as much as you want.. you can go the "cheater" route with the Stalions story.. but you can't dismiss Harbaugh's success at the college and pro level. It's not really disputable.
-

Again What did booger do in AA before picking up Weiss,Minter and the shining star Stalions? Deliberaterly ducked out of the 2020 game vs tOSU then had a full pad practice instead.By that time he was 0-5 vs tOSU,prolly saving his arse. Jeem was 10-3 his 1st two years with hokemon's players.Claimed he didn't know Stalions with video of Stalions running right past him and Minter. Calling a TO and shouting adjustments/schemes right to the D against tOSU in '22.
Connor was in the video dept. with the navy football and knew quite a bit about deciphering.Penalties won't be as severe as PSU's but no doubt covid and the felonious survaillance kepted him from a pink slip
And of course Tugger was 2-1 vs Jeem too ;D
-
Uhhh.. what? You asked what Harbaugh accomplished before Michigan.
No reread that - this is why you guys have trouble with the news - reading comprehension. Take your time in AA before(not before AA)Move you 💋 if that helps

In other words his accomplishments before they arrived

Don’t try to get a new blower. They all suck. This is my 3rd Toro in the last 12 years. Last year’s was the Power Max. Super fancy.. absolutely sucked. Left an inch of snow on the ground every time.
im back to the Toro power clear.. when it’s really cold and snowy, it’s great… when it’s close to 30 and it’s wet snow, it’s absolutely awful.
my neighbor and I laugh because we almost need to share our snow blowers depending on the temp of the snow.
and no, I’m not at a point I can have a Great Lakes yet. It sucks because days like today where I snow plowed twice and had to drive across the city, I could have used it.
long story short.. keep your ‘79 Toro.. my dad still uses his from the mid 80’s and I’ve thought about kidnapping it.

It' a freakin' pain to start as it is pull cord, damn near collapsed after about 20 rips before removing any snow. I've been backing out the plug and spritzing in starter fluid every time that gets irksome,no problems in the warmer weather when I was tuning it up sarted right up.My neighbor picked up a new blower last year and it seems to be tearing it up. i think it is a cub cadet ,but there's a small engine repair mechanic I have taken the dicer repairs to and he said Cub-Ariens-Honda. So we shall see,oh here is an interesting article: https://thisgardener.com/snow-blowers-made-in-usa/
But look at this according to the NYT,they should prolly stay out what actually works unlike their polluted views. Thought their favorite would catch your attention
What is the number one snow blower?
Toro SnowMaster 824 QXE is the best snow blower according to NY TIMES due to its distinctive auger design however is not necessarily the best for you.
PS- there are skid plates below on the botom sides of the auger housing that can be adjusted
-
fearless Tom Osborne didn't win an NC for well over a decade from what I've read - should have let him go then.And The Pats losing twice to the giants was hardly on BOB,we'll see
-
not gonna get patience like Tom got in the 70s and 80s when coaches are making this type of $$$
and he would have been let go if not for Devaney sitting in the AD office down the hall.
1979: Tom Osborne received a pay raise from $36,040 to $44,000, elevating him from lowest-paid Big Eight coach to the highest.
In 1997, Tom Osborne's salary was $138,000
I imagine BOB is getting 2 million more than Tom did in 97
-
I’ll let you test out new ones first. My original Toro wasn’t an electric start, which is why I even tried to upgrade.
I tried adjusting the skid plates. Worthless. I had my dad try. Worthless.. then we watched YouTube video. Still worthless and he’s old school engineer that seemingly can figure out how to fix anything.
Wouldn’t be an issue but driveway is a slight incline and when it wasn’t cleared well and it’s driven on, just creates ice. So please test away my man and please find a great one and share. I’ll even shout you out an O-H
-
Never owned a snowblower. Always shoveled. Don't have them anymore.

Bastages my house sits a little high,thankfully at about a 10 degree incline .Problem I have is My house sits at the end of a street right before a circle.Trucks always drag snow the distance then swing out wide to angle into the cul-de-sac. Leaving me the recipient of a pile at the end of my drive like a Zamboni just unloaded.The Old Toro(thick guage steel) will move it but sometimes I have to use mutt/pick axe to break it up 1st

Well then you didn't get hammered like around here.Only the Mountains,Buffalo,Chardon and HELL seemingly get more.Wind coming across the inland sea Erie just dumps all sorts of excersize/heart attacks on us. Gonna have a Porter just thinking about it but it's not noon yet
-
hah, the guy that usually plows snow of this small town I've known for 50 years
when I see him in the bar, I buy him shots of Tequila (his fav) until he pleads for mercy
he will straighten out the plow goin by the driveway and when it gets deep will back up and push the wind-row off the front of the driveway

Our houses always faced North. Winter = North winds. I've shoveled several feet off our driveways. Not easy.
-
Quite a few yrs it was horrendous - the stuff they dream about at the Ididarod. Didn't matter about getting the drive as the plow crews could just get the main drags. The secondary roads and side streets it was like sh**,f*** good luck. Normal 10 minute drives took like 45 if you were fortunate not to run into the plow crew that does my street

That’s a hell of a pick up. He was the #1 rated player in the 247Sports portal rankings.
Ryan Day is stacking the deck. Fundraising with all those NIL collectives to try and load up to beat Michigan.
Pressure is seriously on him this year to get that Michigan monkey off his back at home. They return basically everyone but Marv (albeit- a huge missing piece) and have got some big additions in the portal.

My garage faces north and still a lot of leaves find their way in.I have 2 oaks an a Maple in my backyard bordered by a creek that is like 12-25' below grade with trees all over.So many times when raking and leaf blowing I stop to feel wind direction and it always changing/swirling.Great excercize tho

looks like a lot of the CRYSTAL BALLZ are flowing in for 5* QB Julian Sayin to Ohio State. Wonder what that means for the other 5* QB they just signed, Air Noland. I'd have to think he'd hit the portal eventually after spring or fall ball if Sayin comes onboard and starts outperforming him. The portal QB Will Howard is your starter, obvi. Unless Devin Brown really levels up and pushes him.
You'd THINK that Michigan would be very enticing to any portal QB right now. Reigning national champs, returning a ton on defense. Returning arguably the best TE & RB in the conference. WIDE open QB starting job available with McCarthy leaving and no heir apparent. Obviously not knowing who the coach is going to be probably killing them from landing anyone in the portal.
-
Ya know Brown didn't get out of the blocks right.I think he still could have his spots he tossed a few nice balls albeit in garbage time but running him in short ydg was a mistake and the leg never healed completely.That Julian Sayin,could be a diva,maybe a bad 1st impression on page 57 of the portal thread I left a link he makes a christ like pose - A bit pretentious and haughty - just sayin 😜

Ohio State is hiring former Penn State and Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien as its new offensive coordinator (https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2024/01/144958/ohio-state-hires-bill-o-brien-as-offensive-coordinator).
Penn State Head Coach (2012–2013):
PROS: Handled aftermath of Penn State’s Sandusky scandal with stability
CONS: Publicly dismayed with the fans who expected him to run the program exactly as Joe Paterno had
Houston Texans Head Coach (2014–2020):
PROS: Consistently won a lot of games to include multiple division titles and NFL Playoff appearances
CONS: Roster talent noticeably declined once handed the reigns of GM to end the 2019 season; Players didn’t like him; Texans fans disliked him even more (see the pattern here?), especially after trading away DeAndre Hopkins
Alabama Offensive Coordinator & Quarterbacks Coach (2021–2022):
PROS: QB Bryce Young won the Heisman under his coaching
CONS: Offense took a noticeable step back from Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian’s earlier time as high-octane OCs, especially in the red zone, despite out-talenting the competition at most every position; Tide fans hated him
New England Patriots Offensive Coordinator & Quarterbacks Coach (2023):
PROS: ?
CONS: The Patriot’s Offense under O’Brien somehow statistically worsened after coming off Matt Patricia’s coaching the year prior, to include caretaking QB Mac Jones’ further decline from a 2021 Rookie Pro Bowler to NFL bust; Patriots fans disliked well into season one
Ohio State Offensive Coordinator & Quarterbacks Coach (2024–present):
PROS (Prediction): Strategic Fall Guy hire for Ryan Day – should the Ohio State offense have a second straight season of falling offensive production, Buckeyes fans will be quicker to blame O’Brien than Day
CONS (Prediction): Despite Ohio State’s dazzling talent advantage, the offense will underperform and appear stale, crusty, predictable, and one-dimensional; Buckeyes fan will quickly turn on O’Brien
As for the fan's unified dislike of O’Brien, it gets worse the longer he sticks around, much of this having to do with his poor handling of the media; Bill O’Brien’s Wikipedia photo channels a Bo Pelini presser:

BOB got hired by Belichick twice and was good at developing QBs at the college level. Both Christian Hackenberg (PSU) and Bryce Young (Alabama) played well above their potential under him. Young won the Heisman Trophy in 2021 under O'Brien, and Alabama finished in the top 10 in scoring offense in both of O'Brien's seasons as coordinator, averaging 39.9 and 41.1 points per game. OSU sources(Birminham) have said they were looking for an OC with head coaching experience so he could help Hartline from WR's to OC, and that Hartline was on board with it.
Pretty good article on what O'Brien will bring, multiple looks and formations with a liking for working the middle of the field

OSU is doing it right with the NIL. Using NIL money to keep proven players on the team instead of going to NFL/transfer and using NIL money to get proven players like Downs and Judkins in the portal. Should always do it like that instead of wasting it on HS kids who haven't proven jacksh*t.
OSU boosters and fans donating like crazy to NIL collectives out of a burning desire to beat Michigan right now. Ryan Day doing some serious spending trying to build a super team to beat Michigan this year and save himself from getting fired.
-
I think all of us would do the same (spend someone else's money to build a super team.)
I mean why not? I know Dabo has some I'm staying true to my recruits philosophy, but it seems to have overall hurt he elite status of his program. (In a vacuum I'd prefer that, but this wild west spend to be the best culture I think you need to adapt.)

they were bought before. with bagmen. SEC famous for this. now it's all out in the open and above board. prefer it this way to be honest.

When Harbaugh takes the NFL job, O$U can buy all their best players for the next 30 days.
Even if they don't start, it weakens them.

good for them.
Michigan needs to hire Moore already and go start fundraising NIL $$$ so they can start spending portal cash when it re-opens in the spring.
I really don't see the big deal here. Ryan Day just doing his damn job. He should be encouraging NIL fundraising and spending that cash in the portal. It's part of his fking job.

so...can get back to talking bout THE GAME. I know Michigan still has yet to fill out the staff and spring ball will be hugely important to see who they can portal in and who will get the edge on the obviously hugely important starting QB job....but feels like to me Michigan is playing with house money in '24 in THE GAME.
Michigan loses, well it's a transition year in which they're replacing the HC, rebuilding nearly the entire offense, and it's a road game. Moore is already 1-0 vs Ohio, Michigan has won 3 in a row, no expectations and not much pressure will be on them to win imo. Ohio State on the other hand? All the expectations and pressure are on that program and more specifically that coach. They pushed the chips into the middle of the table and went all-in on the NIL front to keep a bunch of guys from going pro and get them for their SR years and got themselves some big fish in the portal. If he don't get it done this year- almost feels like it's just never gonna happen and it's an if not now then when situation for them imo.
Ohio State absolutely should be favored and probably will be by probably 6-7 points. Michigan will have a puncher's chance however. You think they'll be able to run the ball and figure that out- and you know for sure they'll have a legit defense. And what usually always travels? Running the football and playing defense. Will be an amazing game imo. 2023 was one of the best ones I've ever seen. 2016 was epic and so was 2006. Think 2024 could be a down to the wire thriller like all of those were.

Kind of depends on the circumstances. Next year, both teams would have already qualified for the championship game before The Game, which makes The Game not really as much of a game.

It's hard to imagine any assistant coach in college football being hotter on the recruiting trail right now than Ohio State secondary coach Tim Walton.
On Sunday, Walton secured the commitment of Na'eem Offord (https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football-recruiting/2024/02/145294/five-star-naeem-offord-the-no-1-cornerback-in-the-2025-class-commits-to-ohio-state), the No. 1-ranked cornerback in the 2025 cycle. If that wasn't enough, he already landed second-ranked cornerback Devin Sanchez (https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football-recruiting/2023/11/142443/five-star-cornerback-devin-sanchez-the-no-2-cb-in-the-2025-class-commits-to-ohio-state)in January and 10th-ranked cornerback Blake Woodby (https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football-recruiting/2023/10/141651/four-star-2025-maryland-cornerback-blake-woodby-commits-to-ohio-state) in October.
His impeccable run on the recruiting trail may not be over yet, either. Ohio State sits in great position to land fourth-ranked cornerback Dorian Brew (https://247sports.com/Player/dorian-brew-46129785/) and is also a strong contender for elite safeties Faheem Delane (https://247sports.com/Player/faheem-delane-46133036/) and Trey McNutt (https://247sports.com/player/trey-mcnutt-46133808/), both of whom Walton has a big hand in recruiting alongside new safeties coach Matt Guerrieri.

It would make sense to move The Game, to mid-season (or cancel the Big Ten Championship Game - which will not happen). I do not want to see the same two teams playing consecutive weeks. It would give a chance for Ohio State and Michigan fans to enjoy other rivalry week games, while still having their own rivalry game mid-season.

From what I've seen and heard on here and elsewhere I'm pretty much the only fan of either the Buckeyes or the Cheaters to agree with you, but I do.
In my view, the importance of THE GAME has unavoidably diminished due to structural changes in the sport anyway. Beyond that, I see two problems with THE GAME being the week before a non-divisional CG:
The first problem is the one you pointed out. I just hate the idea of any two teams playing in consecutive games. Beyond that, consider last year. Without divisions both the Buckeyes and the Wolverines would have clinched spots in the B1GCG before their game in Ann Arbor. Thus, both teams would have known in advance that they would be playing back-to-back and that only the second game mattered in terms of the league title and CFP status. Just wait until we get to THE GAME and one side decides to rest their starters because they have more important games coming up.
The second problem is that kids can't maintain the hyper-intensity you want for big games indefinitely. The SEC schools mostly play an FCS game late for exactly this reason.
In the new potentially four game playoff, Ohio State's season could potentially end with:
- Rivalry game against Michigan
- B1GCG against USC/ORE/PSU
- Playoff game
- Playoff quarter-final
- Playoff semi-final
- National Championship Game
That is insane.

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.

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?

Chip Kelly to OSU as OC
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

I don't disagree with the spirit here, though in this case UCLA wanted to fire Chip but didn't think they could afford to, which is why he was interviewing everywhere.
-
Luckiest sons of bitches in the sport when it comes to coaches.
Chip must have REALLY hated recruiting as the head man or he must have REALLY thought he was getting fired. Or both.
Unreal. Most schools would be screwed with the timing after BoB ditched them like that at the last second. They turn around and land a guy at least 10x better than BoB instantly. Fking wild.

With both them and USC, this is something I wonder about. How many SoCal B1G alums are there and how many will actually buy tickets and go see their teams play USC/UCLA. Also, will it fade as it becomes routine?
Think of a guy like @betarhoalphadelta (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=19) (using him as an example because I know he graduated from Purdue and lives in SoCal. Purdue doesn't visit either of the LA twins in 2024 or 2025 but they are scheduled to play at UCLA in 2026 and at USC in 2028. How many Purdue fans/alums will go to those games?

It's only starting.
Chip hated recruiting. Always has. And now throw in the NIL shit and unlimited transfers, and he was done.
Just wants to coach. He's got enough $$ to not worry about anything.
-

Fixed that for you. UCLA is terrible. Toxic situation. No fan support. Second fiddle in your home city, which now has (unlike 10 years ago) two NFL teams. And the coach wasn't well-liked but was too expensive to fire.
Losing records in 2023 B1G teams: MSU, Indiana, Nebraska, Purdue, Minnesota, Illinois
You think the head coaches of those programs will voluntarily (i.e. not getting canned) leave to be a coordinator at OSU?

It pisses me off. Here I was, trying to extricate myself from college fandom. Of course I knew it would be easy because, hell, Purdue's never going to the Rose Bowl Game again and I live 2000 miles away.
And then USC/UCLA join the B1G. Which means my geographical isolation just went out the window. Jerks.
And yes, I will probably try to get tickets to BOTH 2026/2028 games. I say that as someone who is so soured on being a fan that I don't even watch the games on TV. And I'll probably go see my team. I've got one fraternity brother "in the area" i.e. down outside San Diego, and I'm pretty sure we'll make an event of it. He's got young kids and I've got older kids, and it might even be a family thing.
I'd also be likely to try to see a basketball game, although only if it's on a weekend. I'm not driving to LA County on a weeknight. Purdue and UCLA have the John Wooden connection AND they're both strong basketball schools, so that might actually not be creampuff vs creampuff like football.
If *I* will be doing that, I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of SoCal B1G alums that aren't soured on their fandom that do the same.
-
Tons of Wisconsin alums in California will go to those games for sure.

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.
