Tough year for the bucks...
An Ohio State football coach was carjacked during a recruiting trip in Cleveland.
According to Cleveland.com, the incident occurred when tight ends coach Keenan Bailey was recruiting near Ginn Academy. The incident resulted in a police chase and the arrest of four suspects between 15 and 18 years old.
Bailey, 28, was not harmed in the incident and has resumed recruiting, Cleveland.com reported. Bailey posted a photo of himself in Canada on Tuesday.

I see our incursion into Ohio is beginning to turn the locals

I think WD may have made a road trip.
December 12th, 2023 at 7:04 PM ^
My associates had nothing to do with this.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:03 PM ^
That's crazy. glad he's okay. Apparently he was their "sign guy" before getting promoted to TE coach
December 12th, 2023 at 4:36 PM ^
No, no, you misunderstood. He was their GANG sign guy before being promoted. He threw out one of those crooked finger looking numbers today to the wrong gang and got carjacked for it
December 12th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
Apparently you have an intimacy with such things about which I am completely unaware.

He mistakenly thought this meant, "Boys, I love your Blue Bandanas." It does not...

Was it the Van Buren boys? They won’t jump one of their own

+1 for relatively obscure Seinfeld reference.

How does a low-level assistant have enough money to afford a car nice enough to be carjacked? Investigation.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:03 PM ^
If this happened to a Michigan coach, we'd be investigated for giving cars to recruits.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
Ryan Day is trying figure out how he can blame Michigan for this. The 11Warriors story tomorrow will be "Connor Stallions third party scouting staff carjack OSU coach on recruiting visit."
December 12th, 2023 at 6:51 PM ^
Speaking of giving cars to recruits....

penis envy is not for everyone.
this is why you always wear saucony when venturing into the netherlands.

The perps were so fast that Day waited outside of the police department with scholarships after they made bail to play for the world famous team from columbass.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:17 PM ^
i like the overall framework of this joke, but I'd suggest that Michigan State would be the better target:

Fun fact, Sparty NIL packages stand for Name, Image, and Lawyers. Pick one up at the booking station of your local PD.
December 12th, 2023 at 6:48 PM ^
What, no ESS-EEE-SEE SPEED?
December 12th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
If he was recruiting for toughness, he's at least in the right vicinity.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:05 PM ^
Would it still happen if he dressed up like Mrs. Doubtfire?
December 12th, 2023 at 4:09 PM ^
I hope Coach Harbaugh has a solid alibi. Dime droppers all over Ohio will be dropping Jim's name.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
iTan dood.
Might help a little.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
I’m glad the coach is ok. I just wonder if the prospect was offered, and - if so - whether he’ll accept.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:17 PM ^
Stalions is a kooky dude
December 12th, 2023 at 4:18 PM ^
Isn't the first time a teenager drove off in a car brought to them by an OSU staffer, won't be the last.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:24 PM ^
Lol. It must be going on for years. However, I thought the NIL / AMG G63 vehicles were a “white glove” service drop off at the recipient’s door.
Their process may have changed.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:21 PM ^
I don’t care what team this dude is from, these kids are assholes.
December 12th, 2023 at 5:20 PM ^
Yeah, I hope justice is served and they get 30-24 months in county lockup.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:26 PM ^
The Ginn Academy was founded by legendary Cleveland Glenville HC Ted Ginn, Sr. It's an all boys school in a pretty rough section of East Cleveland do not terribly shocking that this happened but I'm glad the coach wasnt injured.
FWIW Glenville is a major talent pipeline to OSU for Ohio kids but coach Ginn never shut the door on Michigan recruiting like some of his fellow Ohio high school coaches did when Tressel & Meyer were running the program. Ginn's a good man.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
Yeah, definitely some needed context.
In some news that only we care about, now they just put Mo Hurst on fucking IR and I am sad. This team is held together with duct tape and used big league chew. He outplayed his contract so bad I don't think we will be able to afford him next year. I can't recall a year where the injury bug hit us this bad.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
Hey that's nothing. Jed Wills went on season ending IR earlier today and MKC just said Delpit will probably go on IR through the end of the year. So to recap we've lost the following so far for the year
QB
RB
LT
RT
DT
SS
Throw in Myles playing with one arm, Ward out three games and Cooper's banged up. He wont win it but Stefanski's coaching his ever loving ASS off this year and somehow still winning in spite of all that with our 4th QB. Unfuckingreal.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:56 PM ^
Thornhill has missed games too
December 13th, 2023 at 11:38 AM ^
mGrowOld, you live in Cleveland, iirc?
Thinking you live in Cleveland is the only thing keeping me from building my own nuke in my basement then driving it to Cleveland.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
Football guy of the week. Carjacked? Nah, gotta get back to crootin'.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
"The incident resulted in a police chase ..."
Well, there's one key difference between Cleveland in Chicago. In the latter, the incident would generally not result in a police chase.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
Or he lost the car to the Transfer Portal and had to make something up.
December 12th, 2023 at 4:54 PM ^
TE coach--are we sure Sanristill didn't just knock the car away at the last minute?
December 12th, 2023 at 4:58 PM ^
Moral of the story...You shouldn't drive the new Dodge Hellcat your planning on giving to your 5*'s to their ghettos.
December 12th, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
I don't wish this on them. He should've taken a rent a car.
December 12th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
He could have taken an Uber/equivalent.
December 12th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
So glad he is okay. The world is full of dipshits
December 12th, 2023 at 5:40 PM ^
If it were Hartline it would've been an ATV-jacking.
December 13th, 2023 at 12:11 PM ^
if it was hartline ransom would have been involved.
December 12th, 2023 at 5:51 PM ^
Proof that Ohio is a shit hole!
December 12th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
Probably a bit awkward to see it in the recruit's driveway later.
December 12th, 2023 at 6:11 PM ^
He was looking for somebody that understood the pistol formation.
I’ll show myself out.
December 12th, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
Given that this was an OSU coach's car, the perp was probably small
December 12th, 2023 at 6:18 PM ^
When I took a job in Cleveland, it was a very easy decision to buy a house in the sticks and drive 40 min to work every day
they do not fuck around in that city. im more comfortable in Detroit, Chicago or Cincinnati
