He Was THE NEXT SUPERSTAR QB for Ohio State (What Happened to Kyle McCord?)

After Dwayne Haskins, Justin Fields and CJ Stroud, Ohio State was looking to continue their QB pipeline with Kyle McCord. There was good reason for his hype as at one point, he was a 5 star recruit and seen as a future NFL guy. Sadly, Kyle only got one season to prove his worth and he ended up being underwhelming and left for Syracuse. Today, I want to talk about the rise & fall of Kyle McCord, enjoy!

The word in Ohio is that him and his father gave coach Day ultimatum. About his playing ,you do not give Ohio State a ultimatum.

[@DeshCanter]

Yeah, because Ohio State had so many other options. Just take a look at the Missouri game for reference. The fact is his dad did the right thing. McCord didn’t play badly against Michigan. Day set him up to fail with no pass blocking and utterly predictable play calling. Day was a coward for allowing his young QB to take the heat for his own failures. Pathetic. Now his plan is just bribe guys to come in and win for him. No wonder why his RB room took off.

What’s not mentioned here is that McCord’s father wanted to be assurances that he would start, no way was Ryan Day going to do that, or should he have done that. So without a promise of starting he chose not to compete.

Its always funny to hear people say we "ran Kyle out of OSU"... Kyle didn't want to compete for the starting job again and made his own decision that he felt was best for him. I understand his decision and respect his choice but no one made him do anything. He wanted a guaranteed opportunity being it is his last year in college and went to a place where he was able to get that. Good luck to him, but no regrets on this side.

[@DeshCanter]

His coach didn’t support him and your nasty fanbase crucified him. It was trash and I don’t blame him at all for taking off. CJ Stroud lost to Michigan twice too, and by larger margins. Buckeye fans projected all your venom at him when it should he aimed at Ryan Day, who called the plays and set McCord up to fail on multiple occasions.

[@justjean9500]

@@DeshCanter respectfully you have no idea what you’re talking about. There’s nothing that shows Kyle wasn’t supported by the coaching staff. When the season ended Kyle chose to leave because Day was opening the QB competition back up and Kyle being in his last year of eligibility wanted something guaranteed. Which I understand and respect, but you got it though. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@thestrongseminarian]

Before everyone in this comment section decides to blame the toxic fans at OSU, there are many things to consider that this video doesn't even touch. Kid threw into coverage all the time. His throws were often off. He was not good. He was not ready for football at a major program. Granted, his O-line was not great, but McCord had the jitters in the pocket often. The two biggest reasons he went 11-1 is that he had maybe the best supporting cast of skill players in all of college football on offense, and the defense was always able to keep the team in games. We will see if he is a huge upgrade a Syracuse, but many Buckeye fans feel as if he did not develop as a top tier QB should and it was the team that went 11-1, and not necessarily because of McCord's leadership. There are also two major factors you neglected to mention that make his transfer more understandable. OSU fans would question the idea that McCord was brought to OSU as the "quarterback of the future" given that Quinn Ewers committed the next year. In an OSU fan's understanding, Ewers was the QB of the future, not McCord. That is at least how this OSU fan and all my friends remember it. However, the whole Ewers situation was screwed up by Day and McCord become the default QB at the top. I think we can all see the difference between McCord and Ewers. Secondly, McCord's dad is known to be a notorious a**hole. The story goes that back in December, McCord Sr demanded that Day name Kyle the starter before spring camp, knowing that Day had been talking with Will Howard all along. Day wanted competition to drive Kyle or whoever to be better, McCord Sr did not want it at all. Knowing that Will Howard was coming and that his son could possibly lose his starting position (not to mention the work Brown was putting into being the starter), McCord Sr pushed Kyle to transfer to ensure he would get playing time to help his prospects of going to the NFL. Some of it is a business decision for getting to the NFL.

[@darrenramsey]

We bet Syracuse will play favorite to win Sugar Bowl Champ vs Ohio St on Happy New Year’s Day 42-17

[@DeshCanter]

Summary: Your HC coach set up his young quarterback to fail and then stood by and watched while your nasty fans tore him to shreds rather than taking responsibility for his own failures. Garbage. What’s really bizarre is how blind you guys are about Ryan Day. He benched Joe Burrow. He yawned while Quinn Ewers skipped town for a better program, and chose McCord over JJ McCarthy. That’s a playoff QB and 2 National Champions that Day passed on. A huge weakness of Ryan Day’s teams are there are single points of failure at too many positions, QB being the most glaring. Good luck with Will Howard, the most recent addition of Ryan Day’s Bribe and Bling football. I wouldn’t want my kid anywhere near Ryan Day as a coach.

He cost us the game this year and basically.. cost us the whole season because that one loss kept us out of the playoffs and out of the B1G championship.. Kyle had very little to show for playing a full season.. especially when he played the majority of each game too. There have been several recent OSU QB’s that put up way better numbers than Kyle and in half the game time.. then Kyle has the gall to offer coach an ultimatum of he either he has a guaranteed starting position next year or he’s walking.. the ducking audacity given all the circumstances! Then for him to not get that guarantee and run for the portal before our bowl game.. yeah no, Kyle deserved every bit of criticism he got.

For him to make that demand when he didn’t earn it.. or threaten to transfer out if he didn’t get it.. no.. that’s not cool.

[@sleipnir7124]

Thank you for a good video and fair presentation. As an Ohio State fan, some of this really is disappointment at what could have been. Our offense took a noticable step back just as our defense started coming into form. I do not think it is fair to blame McCord. He is not the same QB as Haskins, Fields or Stroud, but we all knew that and no one reasonably could expect him to fill those shoes. I think many Buckeye fans fel McCord only needed to be a game manager for us to win and were frustrated when that did not happen. Part of it was QB inconsistency, lack of mobility and sometimes making poor decisions. Also, I noticed that McCord seldom hit his receivers in stride, often onderthrowing, which killed YAC. Still, the deficiencies on the OL (together with his lack of mobility) did not do McCord any favors. The problems on offense have a lot to do with poorer OL play. Ultimately, I think McCord will do better in a system more fitted to his strengths. But I guess we will see ...

Kyle was a B+ QB , mot a bad QB, 11-1 and a pass away.

[@user-lv6rf2wk4f]

Kyle IS a B+ QB in a college offense. B+ college QBs don't make the NFL let alone start. Day runs a pro style passing game with the route tree depending on both the QB and the WRs reading the same coverage (Pre and Post snap). You must be capable of on time, tight window throws. Kyle struggled with this (as many QBs do once they hit the pros) CJ Stroud grasped the concepts and threw with ANTICIPATION which essential in Day's offense. And he wasn't a pass away, he threw a pick against ND... it was dropped. Nice guy but he wasn't it.

Time will tell if you are right about Coach Day and that take is not unfair imo. But to say he "couldn't beat the team up north" glosses over the issue of a multi-year, mafia-like cheating scandal, the commencement of which perfectly coincides with their overnight shift from a joke team that ducked Ohio State and their three remaining games (also refusing to compete in a bowl game) to a playoff contender.

I'm just sure that ohio st is as pure and clean as the wind-driven snow and that they would NEVER try to figure out any other teams signals...oh wait! They did that?! And the players bragged about it too? Well, well, well. You people from ohio have gone so far past the line of reason that only the devoted enemies of Michigan will pay any mind. Its not whether you're embarrassing yourselves anymore. Its how long you will continue to do it. Ohio Soft University. If you don't find a way to win against Michigan this year with all the advantages you have then I guess that will be proof that the "joke" that Michigan used to be must indeed be cheating...FOUR YEARS IN A ROW. 🙂 Could you imagine?

[@baractusobamiuscaesar5540]

I mean no offense, but the video is pretty misinformed. The stats do lie in this case. First off, McCord suffered an ankle injury vs Penn State that rendered him statuesque for the rest of the season, because it would not heal. His throwing motion includes a pronounced step forward that leaves him more vulnerable to sacks, fumbles and QB hits in the pocket, something that he could not afford to do behind an average offensive line. That, coupled with poor decision making and spotty throws in critical moments (See the game-winning drive vs. Notre Dame-- He showed poise here, for example, but nearly threw 2 costly interceptions that would have sealed a loss), made McCord a tough sell to the Ohio State staff going into year 4. I couldn't say Ohio State fans ran him out of town, but they certainly played a part in the final decision. I'm of the mind that Ryan Day was not pleased with his QB.

No one ever mentions the horrendous offensive line or the inability to run the ball. The receiver's can't or wont block which eliminates big perimeter runs.

McCord was in the system for 3 SEASONS! He never showed promise or flashed the ability of a 5 Star. He's got a good arm that's it. CJ Stroud became a 5 Star after the Elite Eleven Camp and there was never a doubt on whether he was better than McCord. You can't blame the fanbase for that. Go re-watch the Akron game in '21 and tell me he's it. He wasn't. Day knew it that's why he refused to let him throw in mop up games and made CJ promise not to run. He knew Kyle wasn't it. He's mediocre and at tOSU, mediocre ain't it. If Will Howard has the grit of JT Barrett or Fields they'll be fine. Day can live with a General, even if he ain't the best passer. But all around Mid AF? Nah. He doesn't read pro style Defenses (at all) Absolutely ZERO pocket awareness Stares down receivers or receiver (Marvin) Can not go from the chalkboard to the field. Never grasped the concepts of the offense in real time The constant calls for grounding are mind numbing (Panic Mode on EVERY play) No emotion or drive to win (he never hinted at being a leader in the huddle) 3 Seasons.

@darthsilversith667 those little double periods you use doesn't stop the whole nation from seeing buckeyes fans as the most cancerous fanbase in all of CFB

[@gha5243]

Michigan went wrong, that's it. If they beat Michigan they win big ten title game and probably win a natty if they get past Alabama.... Which is completely possible. Close loss at Michigan... That's IT. Guy is good.

[@6413Teddy]

McCord added nothing to the team. His talented receivers made the difference, take them out and add above average talented receivers McCord would have not been a 1 loss QB. He was not the field general that Ohio State needed.

[@ochosinco9275]

it was his first year starting be patient and let the kid fucking develop. Holy shit y'all are so spoiled he's going to be a very good QB at Cuse

[@CSDonohue11]

It’s surprising that coming with MHj from High School that He didn’t flourish having Stud WR that already played together and won a lot in High School If he couldn’t succeed in that situation He’s most def not NFL level

[@markv6228]

Brown was not that good seeing him in person no reason why McCord was not given the chance he should have gotten

[@MIResident]

Don't worry, Kyle, CJ couldn't beat Michigan either.

[@user-jz1hx6qp2o]

Dont forget about the best qb of them TATE Martell

[@nicholastaiariol2631]

He would still be the starter 😂😂

[@buckeyenut1452]

He played scared. When you are the leader of the team you have to play like you got the biggest set in the room. He had talent I will never take that from him. But superstar? We shall see he has a brand new start in Syracuse. Wish him the best but I think it was a mutual separation, for the right reasons.

[@user-ee2zj9ij2s]

Stroud also lost to Michigan

[@Neibert]

He had turible coaching. Alabama QBs go to the NFL. Roll tide!

[@Fallschirmjager4242]

Because Bryce Young is so much better than CJ Stroud. You've got to be kidding.

[@hispanieldaniel]

McCord is on the spectrum and is blue/yellow colorblind.

[@michaelwoody2111]

McCord isn’t why they lost. Coach is soft and the fans drink his Kool-Aid year after year. If Day had decided to run the ball, versus wanting to throw all over the field, they might have won. They were moving the ball well running but Day wants to “look better” by passing for a lot vs grind out a win.

[@user-ee2zj9ij2s]

If they beat Michigan all the naysayers would shut up.

[@timper4326]

Nobody in the Buckeye state called Kyle the next superstar. Ewers was next in line, he left. We had offered a kid from North Carolina and he decided to go elsewhere , then Raiola. Kyle was just next man up, if Brown could have stayed healthy, he might have not gotten a chance. We're in the same boat now. We got Howard and Sayin and Noland. Next man up. And Kienholz.

[@patrickolaughlin6027]

I'm glad it didn't work out , let's go Cuse!

[@adoniswilliamson3010]

Ohio State going to regret running him off 😂😭 just wait on it

[@IllMatic97]

This won't age well

[@Fallschirmjager4242]

Not at all he's a beta bitch that's scared of competition.

[@jw8797]

@adoniseilliamson3010 😂 they won’t bro

[@jumaaneworld3135]

Honestly he should of stayed at Ohio State and yall trippin he wasn’t that bad😂😂😂💯

[@oh.....5075]

if it wasn't for Ohio State's defense McCord could easily lost three games. Say it like it is he was low engery and extremely inconsistent.

[@messagetous]

Steele Chambers

[@bradonelkins687]

He was fucking terrible fym if I remember correctly it was 39% of his passes that were incomplete were just gawd awful throws

[@georgelucas2571]

Ohio State fans might be the most spoiled fan base in football. Like do they even remember having a losing season?

[@Plants28]

I'd say Alabama is more spoiled. And then ohio state.

[@darrenramsey]

It was really spoiled by the time study, Big Ten History Book 📖 Woody Hayes didn’t want Minnesota Golden Gophers for seventh seasons, until 1960, Golden Gophers won Rose Bowl Crown on their 5th National Champions ever since OSU angry gray 🐜 crazy monster sickos burned down N. High Street and we saw last Friday night on FOX 28 becuz TTUN won 2023 National Champions to beat Ohio St unBuckeyes that’s what drive 100,000 gray 🐜 stupid sickheads at protests against Ohio St True Buckeyes who never cheat on mathematics, science, etc., etc ...

[@swansong419]

They won in spite of him not because of him ! Not a leader of men ! Let his daddy do all the talking and make his decision to leave! 😂

[@walterlangkowski4723]

Didn’t like the toxic OSU culture and fan base so he dipped

[@retiredteacher1979]

This young man didn't want to compete. He wanted a starting job given to him. He and daddy McCord had a meeting with the coaches demanding he be the starter or they were going to leave. While OSU competes for the Natty, cry baby McCord will be competing for a .500 record.

[@montevans7110]

Kyle MCCord can’t move . To be a Qb now a days you have to be fairly mobile . Should of went to Penn st anyway . He wouldn’t have this problem.”unbiased opinion”

[@todd8928]

Nice spring game osu.....some real powder puff stuff!

[@Krabz96]

He got carried by a stacked offense and coordinators

[@hartsickdisciple]

I think you'll see in 2024 that this wasn't the case. He'll do well at Syracuse.

[@michaelstevers6032]

McCord should have stayed

[@nofrenz2065]

He couldn't run as fast as the buckwheats...he's not bkack..there's your answer

[@sisco302]

There is nothing wrong with Kyle McCord. He simply wasn’t given time to develop under Cryin Ryan. He will be a very good college quarterback and is a very good quarterback. Time will prove this. The problem at OSU is a culture problem. They suffer from elitism and think they can recruit their way to a natty. There is no team culture. Without being committed to the team and proper player development the Big 10 Championship and natty will continue to be a fantasy. The Missouri bowl game loss spoke volumes about where OSU is as a program. And as a team. This year won’t be any different.

[@dweez4703]

This is why Harbaugh left at the perfect time. Even if Day beats Michigan, the fan base will say, u still couldn't beat Harbaugh

[@wattsinc.]

​@@dweez4703day is 1-2 against harbaugh

[@juancarlosfonjul4557]

They have the highest payroll by a lot. Still, they chased Joe Burrow and Quinn Ewers out the door. They pillage the states of Florida, Georgia and Texas. Get all the best talent, play in a week conference and still lose in thr playoffs to the SEC.

[@RoyalDoesHisBest]

mccord gave his heart and soul to ohio state??? no tf he did not! bro called the michigan game "just a game". bro was never a buckeye

[@evanwilliams6406]

You can take it for what it is. I think that is him staying focused on the big picture and more focused on playing Michigan and what the prestige of that brings. We fans have a different perspective than players do. Players feel the crowd energy but they are out there playing. That is at least what I take from it.

[@FMM._]

Guarantee he’s not the only one at OSU that said or thinks that

[@robertlack6682]

Said it all year long..... He was the embodiment of mediocre and was the weakest link on an otherwise championship caliber Ohio State team......a shame Stroud didn't stick around one more year. Would have won the championship no doubt in my mind!! Had and has NOTHING to do with the Ohio State fans.......... It simply is what it is....... And if you take Marvin Harrison Jr. out of the picture his stats and achievements take a serious nose dive..... No way anybody can argue that.... And maybe he will flourish this coming year under a new coach.... But it didn't happen at Ohio State because he simply just wasn't at that level yet..... No bones about it! CJ. Stroud would have, did and does shine no matter who his receivers are..... Don't understand how some people try to use Ohio States fan base as an excuse........ Did you see or hear of any other ELITE college programs showing any interest in McCord??? Case closed!! No body is disrespecting him... At least I'm certainly not..... Just calling it what it is....... He is NOT a Heisman caliber quarterback and that's the expectation at Ohio State...... Just like Alabama, Clemson, Michigan and all the rest of the Elite college programs.......

[@timleineke1997]

Ryan day happened to McCord. Day failed him. You can see from these highlights he has mobility in him. I'm guessing day suppressed that and try to make him a CJ Stroud

[@Elliesbow]

what went wrong? Dude lost 1 game and the toxic coaching staff and fan base drove him out of town. LOL

[@darthsilversith667]

Um, no lol He lost us the game and then he told coach that if he didn’t have a guaranteed starting job next year that he was leaving via the portal. That is him running himself out of town because he didn’t want to lose his job to a freshman 😂😂😂😂

[@nomadboe]

Ryan Day sucks... They gave up on him

[@liam6208]

He was never meant to be anything. He’s was unathletic asf and overrated to begin with. End of story.

[@user-jf4nj3ez2k]

He sucked. That's what happened. Plus his father is an over involved parent. So The Ohio State told him to hit the road

[@Chicagocity1717]

Ohio State is a soft program

[@achilles11751]

Your soft

[@sleipnir7124]

So are you saying playing against cheaters makes you soft? The only game they lost during the regular season was a tossup away game to a practical criminal syndicate.

[@myinternetzoo]

You're clueless.

[@therealmccoy5921]

I’m not on you tube to look at pics show video. Wtf wasted time

[@ScottFisherCFB]

If only copyright did not exist

[@09flstcmcodonnell42]

Nobody ran cow McCord out of town he ran himself out of town his daddy let his brain work for him you don't guarantee you'll be a starter maybe he got a guarantee at Syracuse but that ain't happening at Ohio State some of these comments you people put in here are totally delirious you don't really have a clue what's going on

[@daddyomflims69]

The fan base is just way too toxic imo

[@darrenramsey]

We really pray for many true Buckeyes who really don’t watch unBuckeyes play like Chump becuz we don’t hafta complain about 10:34 unBuckeyes can’t win CFP and many unBuckeyes always complain blame lie deny vomit germs at anywhere restaurants, unOhio St
