Ryan Day ALWAYS says the right things. He's great at the podium. He's less great at managing games and preparing his team to win big games. Im at the point where I'm not going to believe or assume anything about this team until Day proves he can do it. A gaudy W/L record against Penn State, Maryland and Purdue isnt good enough at Ohio State when you consistently lose the vast majority of the games that matter.

[@Andy-AJC72]

Can THE Pod please put Doug in the press room so he can ask some real pointed questions? Day deserves the Ferentz treatment.

[@erictell9780]

Agreed put Doug Lesmeris in there 😂😅🤣

[@bigpoppa5759]

It’s not on Ryan Day to make field goals. But IT IS on Ryan Day to hire a special teams coach that knows what he is doing AND find a kicker. This is a recurring issue in our program and that’s a Ryan Day issue.

[@oh.....5075]

I've never ever seen a person that has a job who shows up each and every year without reaching any goals that makes as much money as Ryan Day does, and yet people still keep making excuses. I'm tired of him admitting when its bad and wrong that they haven't reached their goals

Missing 2 FG’s under 40 yards is certainly on the kicker. But we have not had a consistent, reliable kicker in years and it has caused us to lose 2 major games over the last few seasons. That is on the coaches. There are high school kids hitting 60 yarders. Go find a kicker

[@easternecho1622]

You are 100% correct. But after marching the ball down the field, WHY are we settling for field goals? Let's face it. In order to win a football game, you need to score touchdowns!

Maybe two interceptions, OL didnt give Howard enough time, Howard didn’t see open receivers AND he didn’t trusted his throw after 2 INTs? That was what I saw after watching the game again. When it comes to The Game it has always come down to what team control the line of scrimmage, and who makes the fewest mistakes. 2 INTs and two missed field goals will doom any team.

The talent assessment and development is 100% on the staff. How you can suggest otherwise by saying it's not on the them to execute is mindboggling. You say stuff like that when it's a game or two.

It's not as simple as saying "make 2 chip shot field goals and you win the game." Instead of kicking the winning FG, Michigan would have scored a TD near the end of the game and would have won 17-16.

I noticed the reduced production by the offense since Nebraska. Part is due to the injuries to the Oline. Olines function as a unit and even if the back up is good, it takes time. (Btw, tshabola is not good). The other part is the game plan. I smelled Day’s involvement in the game plan and play calling starting in the Nebraska game. And it’s continued and topped out against scum. He has a real problem trusting his coaches and players and it’s hurting the team. He isn’t progressing as a coach. He’s getting worse. A few years ago, the problem was defense. Now it’s offense, or more specifically, him. If he’d just stay out of it and let Chip do his thing, we’ll be fine.

COACHES are the experienced ones! NOT the players! So your game plan better be in the very least solid. Meaning, why are we running up the middle and ignoring JJ Smith?! But if we throw to Smith and he drops a pass (a mistake) .. well then you can still throw it to him again and again! As opposed to running up the middle again and again .. with the same repeated bad result! So in using your advantages .. JJ Smith, etc .. you might not score 45 and have a great game if he drops a pass .. (or you miss two FGs) .. but we still could have scored 24 or so .. with ANY sort of decent plan .. and WON the game! DO NOT lay this at the feet of the players .. when the head coach was so much more egregiously bad!

I’m ok if we lose a 3rd game if we attack how we’re supposed to…..
