to paraphrase Spencer Hall on Fullcast After Dark "the most annoying thing with crazy Ohio State fans is...they're right...when they say 'Yeah Ryan Day's just never winning this game again' you kinda have to agree with them"

Lady Radia posted:the day haters are mind blowing to me I can see it a bit. The Big 10 has been incredibly weak during Days stint at OSU and he’s had two insanely talented QBs, but in spite of that he keeps losing to his only real opponents. OSU is such a juggernaut at this point idk that it’s crazy for them to have wild expectations. They’ve been this good for decades now. I think the next two years playing in a real conference and with a real playoff will tell us a lot about Day as a coach. Personally I think he’s mediocre and won’t gently caress up OSUs juggernaut path while also not doing anything special in important games. Idk he’s like a modern Dabo, he’ll live and die by his coordinators and QBs

It's a lot like basketball to me, where the big name schools often just get to do what they want, confident that the refs will swallow their whistle at key moments. They KNOW it's an illegal play and they call it on purpose.

PostNouveau posted:It's hard to say, right? I mean, Michigan was good enough to blow out all those schools. See, i think Texas is good enough and it was the game plan and playcalling shifting too early with the leads they had. They kept the starters in and didn't keep the foot on the gas, which is like, what's the point? just put the drat thing to bed in the for good in the 3rd and then you can coast in the 4th and instead they'd try and sit on a lead to start the half which never really worked out for them and yet Sark kept at it. That's my largest gripe with him is that he didn't seem to learn from that week to week, like Mack hanging on to Greg Davis for a few seasons too many. I've found peace with Sark -- the team has got better every year and I won't complain about 10+ win seasons. The team is fun to watch. I don't think he's a like, year in and year out competing for championships coach and that's got to be ok, very few are and very few teams are. I think the second half collapses in games this season are on him and just gotta roll with it as he's the best coach since Mack and has the team in a good place.

Though being a Chip Kelly acolyte probably doesn’t help his case much.

The last 13 years have made me quite ok with a guy who can sometimes get us to this level and hopefully has a 7 or 8 win floor at all times. He seems to be an excellent game planner and a really bad in-the-moment decision-maker (see that goal-line stand for OU that cost us the game this year). You ditch a guy like this at your own peril, Ohio State fans. Kirby Smart is like, the only time it has ever worked for a school to go "Sure, the team is very good under this coach, but it could be GREAT under a new guy".

I think Indiana is set to benefit overall from the expansion just by escaping the B1G East. Between UM/MSU/PSU/OSU you have four programs who Indiana has collectively beat 6 times in the last two decades, three of which were Sparty in their various flop eras. Maryland is a peer program with a higher upside and even Rutgers is .500 against the Hoosiers. Even adding the chance of playing UO/USC/UW is worth it, they’re getting one or two more winnable games each year.

I'll add to this the Kyle Shanahan/Mike McDaniel quick out motion that runs upfield as my "cheating that's called brilliant play design" pet peeve. Also, I got a football recruiting mailer from Rose-Hulman lol.

He has lost to
8-5 against the top 10 (7-3 in the regular season), 12-6 against the top 25 (11-5). 67% of the losses were 1 possession games compared to 25% of the wins. Undefeated by unranked teams. Clemson, same period: 9-5 against top 25 teams, 6 unranked losses Georgia: 20-2-1 Bama: 14-6-1 School Up North 9-7-0, 7-7-0 if we don't credit Jim with Moore's wins. Frankenreilly: 7-10-2 12-6-0 stacks up incredibly well with what's generally viewed as the nation's top programs and the nation's top coaches. 2/2a with Bama. To be clear, I'd love to see Day fired because aside from maybe Clemson, no program or fanbase has deserved getting Nebraska'd this hard since, well, Nebraska. But the concept of him as mediocre, a caretaker, triumphing over a cupcake schedule and incapable of taking Brutus to his deserved heights is ludicrous. Ches Neckbeard posted:Who would they even target? They definitely would want to keep Hartline, dude just produces and croots the hell out of receivers. After Day's replacement inevitably flames out, I think you're seriously looking at a mildly rehabilitated Scotr Frost or Jimbo. Or Hartline after at least marginal G5 success.

Every Arizona space for the last week has been “Noooo Fisch is leaving!!!!!!” which is funny because I don’t see it anywhere out of the Arizona bubble…but those spaces are too nascent for me to tell them to chill. Anyway it looks like he is about to get a giant extension even though the school is broke because they spent all their money on a bad bet on a second online school for some reason. That is gonna go over well once the “SPORTSBALL” crowd finds out but whatever I am happy. https://x.com/jasonscheer/status/1729209427428044819?s=46&t=aKcI5w-ITyMblbTTR26ohw

whos that broooown posted:Gerry Dinardo wasn't far behind. Terry Hoeppner. Fun fact, its been 75 years since IU had a head coach with a win percentage over .500. Their most successful coaches in the modern era all came from Miami of Ohio. John Pont took them to the Rose Bowl, Bill Mallory was good for many years and Hoeppner would have had similar success if his brain had not betrayed him.

Might be trying to get Willie Fritz in as well but the residual AAC guy in me says I sure hope not right now. Obvious questions are me is how much does Patterson have in the tank? He obviously knows how to run a high end program but can he do it for the next five or so years without burning out again? What staff is he putting together? Is UH expecting a Kelvin Sampson sort of situation here? I know UH isn't going to be SMU in NIL and the portal, but is Patterson (who was vocally anti the portal at TCU) willing to at least try if UH is?

dudes are offensive geniuses when their 5*s are windmill dunking on directional schools but suddenly its a lot different when that talent disparity doesn't exist and there's a team on the other side of the ball that has watched more than 10 minutes of film. this isn't just a Ryan Day criticism, you can level this at most programs and almost the entirety of the NFL. the coaching pool is full of absolute dogshit thanks to years of so many nepotism hires that it makes car dealership owners look diverse.

Florida fired Corey Raymond and Sean Spencer, DB and DL coaches respectively. Getting Raymond out of LSU was supposed to be napiers best assistant hire but that group has severely underperformed. DL has also been a complete non factor. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more movement, but it definitely speaks to a warm seat.
