Fuck him.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:09 AM ^
Should we start a fund for a nice retirement gift?
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
Get him a man bra.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:27 AM ^
Mansier.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:40 AM ^
Or was it the bro?
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:44 AM ^
Yup, it was a Bro.
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
Frank wanted a catchier name, and came up with the Mansier.
January 22nd, 2021 at 2:47 PM ^
It's manzeer.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:28 AM ^
Keith Jackson is retiring, you say?
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:37 AM ^
A cooler with the finest Columbus poop
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:45 AM ^
Something nice for his front lawn perhaps?
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:03 AM ^
As long as it’s aimed at his front door.
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:54 AM ^
Aim at his "backdoor".
January 22nd, 2021 at 2:04 PM ^
That statue is not too far from my house. The guy who put it up was denied a permit to put up a garage on his property so decided to give the town a big F-U. Then he decided to light it up. Hilarious.
January 22nd, 2021 at 2:57 PM ^
No way, another mgoblogger with a Westford, VT connection?! I grew up just up the hill from there. One of my friends is tempted to start a go fund me to raise funds to put a giant live long and prosper statue across the street from this.
January 22nd, 2021 at 4:15 PM ^
Kinda reminds me of this...
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:58 PM ^
will happily pay for the paper bag for someone to shit in and the lighter to set it ablaze on his doorstep
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:20 PM ^
How about a big bag for all of the douche he is.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:50 AM ^
Best post on this Blog in recent memory!
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:51 AM ^
Exact thing I said when I seen it on the board.
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:09 PM ^
I felt the same way for a long while but looking back on things, and perhaps realizing that working with Harbaugh might not be a bowl of cherries, it is understandable why someone might leave. Just wish he had picked someone other than Ohio State.
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:56 PM ^
Day wanted his mentor and buddy from BC, Don Brown, which set this board into overdrive. Matty was the FU consolation prize. Not a bad $800k / year do what job!
January 22nd, 2021 at 2:03 PM ^
If the stories about Don Brown limiting who Shawn Nua could recruit are true, then he probably did that to Mattison as well. So I wouldn't be so quick to put it all on Harbaugh.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:33 AM ^
It was a sarcastic sad
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
Never heard of her
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:48 AM ^
Well I guess he went out with 2 back to back CFP appearances. Although, both ended up in a loss.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:57 AM ^
Good.
January 22nd, 2021 at 4:45 PM ^
At least he got there.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:49 AM ^
Good... traitor
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:38 PM ^
I feel extra betrayed.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:50 AM ^
I am guessing OSU won't be replacing him with Mike Macdonald.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:45 AM ^
But they are getting the guy from the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:56 AM ^
lets hope his defensive coordinator skills aren't as smooth as his sultry, rock n' roll voice.
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:07 AM ^
Jeff Skunk Baxter. The guy could lay it diwn!
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:27 AM ^
As could Larry Carlton, one of the greatest studio guitarists ever.
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:21 PM ^
I'm a big fan of Larry Carlton. Saw him at the Winter Park Jazz Festival in the late 80's. Holy cow is he talented and enjoyable to watch / listen to.
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:06 PM ^
I used to be in advertising and I worked with a lot of musicians on tracks for commercials. Skunk Baxter was one of those people. When he walked into the studio (back in the 90's), it was like he was coming in from 1973. Long hair in a ponytail, ankle boots with stacked heels, bell bottoms, and the 'stache. Seemed like a good guy.
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:37 PM ^
It's a little known fact that Mattison LOVES Styx. The players often referred to him as Mr. Roboto while he was here.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:50 AM ^
Perhaps before I retire I'll switch jobs to go teach my last couple years at the high school down the street that "wins things" a lot but also everyone in the area acknowledges is absolutely the worst.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:51 AM ^
I hope it was worth it Judas
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:51 AM ^
Never won a national title. He bailed on us the offseason before 1997 and his OSU teams didn't get it done.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:00 AM ^
He was part of Florida’s NC in 2006 as co-DC with Charlie Strong.
Still did not win a NC with ND nor OSU, so the turncoat behavior was not rewarded which, I think, is your larger point. OSU’s defense was not a strong point in the CFP over the last couple of years.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:05 AM ^
Dangit, forgot that one.
But we can say that he, a Midwesterner, never won it all with a Midwest school.
January 22nd, 2021 at 10:27 AM ^
His final legacy: being a coach on a defense that was so poorly conceived that you ended up with the best wideout in football being covered by a linebacker named "Tuf."
Hope it was worth it ending up with your last stop being "I coached a defense that squandered a ton of talent because our schemes were so pathetic and basic that a Madden obsessed child could solve them."
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:09 AM ^
that's actually not what happened at all, but yea.
the defense this year didn't have the secondary talent necessary to run the 1 high base cover 1 that day wanted to run. why didn't osu have the secondary talent necessary? 3/4 of the starters from last year are starting in the nfl this year. the other one (wade) had to switch positions to play something he's not good at out of team necessity. the starter replacing wade at slot corner was kicked off the team before the season started. the starter opposite wade at outside corner was hurt in game 2. so osu ran a ton of 1 high base cover 3 all year, which alabama (and penn state, and indiana) ate for lunch. that was the option osu specifically picked, gambling on making alabama (and others) take 10-15 plays to get in the red-zone and holding from there. as you saw, osu forced several red-zone 3rd (and 4th) downs, which alabama converted anyway, because, turns out, they're really good. osu's other alternative was play 1 high cover 1 while letting alabama score on 70 yard pass plays because osu didn't have anyone capable of playing man outside at a high level.
i do agree with you that osu didn't play the right scheme this year for the talent on hand, but as you know, they had to replace the dc, were down two starters to injury, and covid destroyed any attempt at a normal spring and fall install, and prevented osu from practicing most of the back half of the season. osu was still tinkering with its starters during the northwestern game!
January 22nd, 2021 at 11:33 AM ^
You lost. And BAD. No one here cares about your analysis
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:23 PM ^
I liked reading it and I'm glad you're on the board.
