Regarding Ryan Day, it might be difficult to put schiano in there given the circumstances and Penn state allegations in his past. It’s not fair but would make the university look tone deaf. Same with Wilson and IU stuff. Day provides no questions/distractions. 

 

Yup, that was my thought too.

Same. Even though I’m not aware of any facts that show Schiano or Wilson actually did anything wrong, their pasts are murky so it makes sense to look elsewhere under the circumstances.

Yes and no. Zach Smith should not have been on the staff. Urban let him stick around for too long in an act of favoritism and got burnt as a result. Seems pretty black and white to me and I have no interest in a drawn out investigation into who’s wife said what and when.

I initially wondered why Day was chosen-- then remembered the history of the other two. OSU is loaded with talent, but if Meyer goes, they will have players transfer and many recruits will decommit. Could be some tough times ahead (like the post-Tressel years).

They only had one rough post Tressell year,  2011 with interim coach fickell. Went undefeated in 2012, urban’s first year.

Now I definitely expect fewer QB runs in 2018.

It’s Demario’s time. 

[YoloinOhio]

So what do you think about Urban coaching during the week but not in game day 9/2 thru TCU? Who will be making big in game decisions? I assume Day is calling offense and Schiano calling defense or will Wilson call the offense and Day just oversees and approves or changes like Urban did? Do we know what the split of DC duties is between Schiano and Grinch?

 

 

Do we know if he can be in the locker room, skull session etc on gamedays? Can he travel to Dallas?

 

what about recruiting? Can he contact commits or targets? Make in-home visits? Be present on official visits? 

 

I just realized how much we don’t know about the team right now. 8 days.

GAME WEEK!!

[YoloinOhio]

I was so pumped listening to the Day and Schiano pressers today. Captains will be interviewed tomorrow night!

 

Few interesting tidbits - Michael Jordan starting at C over Brady Taylor

 

Barron Browning starting at mlb (but he said Tuf Borland could return as soon as this week)

 

Martell will play.... when and where is the question

Day and Wilson to share play calling duties. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Almost forgot how much I love game trailers.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...can't remember but did Urban do better when he first got there with someone else's recruits? Osu could have 3 losses this year.

Well Urban's undefeated season ('12) and his natty ('14) came primarily with Tressel's recruits, so it's fair to make that argument.  But since then, Urban's recruiting classes have graded out at levels that Tressel never achieved, and the team has been historically successful during his entire tenure so far.  As for this year, it's tough to tell.  New QB, questions at OL, LB, and even the D-backs make it hard to predict how the season will play out.  The team appears to be really stacked though, particularly at RB and DL. Several beat reports are predicting that the offense will break school scoring records this year.  Can't wait to see how it plays out.

Sure, I’ll  correct you. This is the best team he’s had since he got here. They are absolutely loaded. He went undefeated in his first season with Tressel’s guys which is a great coaching job in retrospect. The 2014 team national title team was a ton of his own guys. He was hired in nov 2011. His first recruiting class was 2012. Despite this lack of a follow-up title, his best team in terms of talent level, until this year, was 2015. It was a team dripping with nfl guys. 

 

put it this way - in the last 5 years OSU has signed 47 top 100 players. The REST of the Big 10 has signed 34 together. 

 

The coaching staff is elite. The players are elite. The two-deep is ridiculous with the depth. It’s a machine. 

 

I never thought I’d say this but your comment combined with some of the National people (who are hilarious) makes me think they are underrated this year. Has no one compared the rosters and coaching staffs of these teams in the big 10?
