I’d be surprised if Holtman is employed by mid season

Frye hasn’t proven completely that he can coach the oline yet let alone earn a head honcho job like this.  Just my opinion. 

This is a very misogynistic post. I’m offended 

All the coaches from Franklin on down are turds.

If Sonny is smart he becomes Jahad’s best buddy. 

The question isn't whether he can do it well or not, it's whether he has too much on his plate. He needs to manage the team, the narrative, and the culture at all times.

In what universe is Frye an acceptable choice to be OC at The Ohio State University? 

I’d be a great DC with our defensive roster in 2019. Hafley didn’t do any masterminded scheming in 2019. 

Our 9.5 million dollar head coach couldn’t get his players transitioning on and off the field and was probably to blame for putting too many men on the field during the fake punt play. 

Who all pretty much won their respective bowl games and we barely beat not because of our defense but our inept offense this year. Oh how easily we forget. 

EVERY SINGLE TEAM in the NCAA, I don't care if they're Alabama or Citadel, gave up explosive plays this season. It's the nature of the game with the offenses we have today. I'd rather it be a defensive game like it used too. I could just as easily blame the fact that Day, once again, stopped running the ball even with Hayden being effective, or the fact that players were constantly confused on whether they should be on the field or not know the plays, or his inability to actually score in the red zone in the fourth as well on losing this game. 

Stop the nonsense guys. The fact that we kept Georgia to ZERO points in the third quarter should have been enough for our offense to put the game away the way they were performing, but they didn't perform in the fourth either. 

Any of those scenarios happen we're pretty much going to get the same output as keeping Knowles. I'm aghast at how much Knowles is being used as a scapegoat here. Could it be because Day took so much backlash this year due to some very inept offensive output? 

This right here is everything you need to answer your questions. 

Ohio State gave up 533 Georgia 467

Michigan gave up 488 TCU 528

No matter how you shake it that's a lot of yards given up by all teams in the playoffs that are supposedly the best four in the nation. Michigan hung more yards on TCU and still lost. They weren't really even in that game. It was a one point win by Georgia. There are a lot moments that I can choose that would have lead to a Buckeye victory had they been different. Not all of those were mistakes on the defensive end of the ball. 

How did the rest of "lesser" BIG do in the lesser bowls? I think pretty well. We beat them all. Some not so easily. And if memory serves me well, we were struggling with those "lesser" teams not because of our defense. As a matter of fact, the defense kept us in those games. It was because of the defense that we walk out of Happy Valley with a W. The fact that the narrative is now to put all blame on the defense is mind blowing to me. Day has been HC coach since 2018 and he has regressed in many facets of the offensive game, meanwhile Knowles has been here for all of a year and vastly improved very good young men on our defense who, if we're being honest, don't measure up talent-wise for us. 

You guys want to analyze this stuff to a pulp yet you're not really using your noodles to do this rather are going at this on an extreme emotional basis and letting all the so-called media pundits think for you. 

Was I mistaken when I saw Rossi had the ball in his possession as the time out call was being whistled in? 

Right the defense literally didn’t do anything last night. Folks are doubling down on irrational thinking 

There’s no question CJ had the ability to do what he did last night. If the Heisman was being given out this week he would have clinched it last night. The question is why has he never used his legs before?

I had the same question except in the opposite direction with Haskins (RIP young man). He busted out a huge run during his first start against ScUM only to never run again. 

So, is Day encouraging his QBs not to run? Because I could have sworn it took a huge outcry by fans and commentators for this to change. 

Who has dominant Defense in the playoffs? How many points were scored in the other games? 

 

Sounded like he took full ownership of the D woes to me. More than any other coach in this program 

In the game I was watching Georgia also gave up big plays and were even held scoreless in the 3rd. I’m also willing to bet Georgia has a better defensive roster than we do. 

Crazy how we have more football experts on our forums than on the sidelines year in and year out. 

I’m thinking Day is a little less estrogen driving than some of our fans in his thinking that this could have been done in less than 12 months especially with the Defensive room Day allowed to be depleted prior to Knowles getting here.

wE pAiD HIm wHy hAsn’T hE fIxED myLife??? 

We hired him to fix everything in one year with half the talent of last years - namely two or three DE’s we’ve had who scared the paints off of OCs trying to figure out how to run their offense without getting their QB KO’d? 

I wouldn’t call you delusional I’d call you irrational or perhaps just spoiled.

How does a crap poster on Twitter and on our boards say “this defense is worth 2 million dollars” and it ends up being a piece on 11W? 

Did we say that when Coombs ran a shits storm? Or the last years of Meyers tenure when our Defense was considerably worse with more talent? 

This is just insane fandom and narrative building. It’s been ONE year for Knowles. One year. And before another moron says “Hafley did it in one year” take a look at Hafley’s defensive roster in 2019 and compare it to ours.

Blessed New Year Buckeye Nation. 

Dabo was also playing the wrong QB all year. But that’s a conversation for another time.
