I really like Ryan Day.
I feel awful for him.
One thing you’ll note about all 5 of these candidates is they are all from OHIO.
All nice enough guys, but hey foreigners, IT IS NOT A GAME.
IT IS OUR LIVES!!!!
Wish List Of Replacements (If Needed):
#1.
It’s like that villain in Harry Potter or whatever, Voldemort?
Michigan people can’t even say the name Urban Meyer without shuttering.
The man is 7-0 in The Game and still has plenty of life left in him.
Mike Vrabel
Birthplace: Akron, Ohio
Physicality.
You want to dominate the line against THEM?
The man grew up here.
The man played here.
The man coached here.
And the man has significant head coaching experience in the highest level of the sport.
I wouldn’t mind shaking out the cobwebs today to see if uhh, hypothetically, he was interested.
Jim Tressel
Birthplace: Mentor, Ohio
I don’t care that he’s 70 years old.
The man did it 9x out of his 10 chances.
And he made it known IMMEDIATELY upon his hire that that’s what he was here to do.
I’d take Jim Tressel back TOMORROW.
And we wouldn’t even need to change the playbook.
Day loves to punt!
And I know he lost his only chance vs. Michigan.
But that was with a team that was in turmoil and beaten and bruised by the NCAA.
A Luke Fickell coached team will punch you in the mouth and keep swinging.
But he beat them both?
And he consistently does it with little white dudes that go on to be doctors and lawyers.
Could you imagine what he could do with 5 star talent?
When he would walk into 99.999% of games with the clear talent advantage?
Plus, Ryan Day does this job for $10 million a year.
I bet Buttermore would do it for 150K!
Honorable Mentions: Matt Campbell (Massillon) , Mark Stoops (Youngstown), Jim Harbaugh??
INSTILL SOME OHIO PRIDE AND TOUGHNESS BACK INTO THIS PROGRAM.
QUIT DANCING, QUIT TALKING, AND JUST WIN!
