Submitted by Baldbill on

apparenlty Beck is leaving OSU to take over as the Offensive coordinator and QB coach for Texas and new head coach Tom Herman.

he will be assuming play-calling duties supposedly.

That's weird.  First, they just hired a new QB coach (was what Beck was doing) who is from the Meyer tree.  Second, Wilson is an air raid guy.  Meyer is not.  Their offenses are predicated on fundementally different concepts.  Would they go hyperspeed air raid?  That's a system overhaul from Meyer's power run read option stuff since he was at Florida.  Second, if they hire Wilson, then wouldn't that only leave three defensive coaches on the staff since Fickle left?  And what would Wilson do?  An OC and OL coach doubling exactly what Warrnier does?  And leave an unbalanced staff with three defensive guys one of who I think coaches special teams as well?  That's a weird staff compasition.  And not that OSU cares at all, but Wilson comes with some serious recent player mistreatment allegations.  It would make sense to hire Wilson has one of those offense analyst guys.  Hell, I wouldn't mind if UM did that.

There's actually been rumors of JT transferring if this were to happen, as it did. Obviously he cannot throw very well, Wilson's offense relies on the vertical passing game, and now his two former coaches are teamed up back in his home state. He can take a grad transfer year to go play closer to home as Urban probably wants to move on. 

 

It's not very practical, I know. It would make more sense for him to stay at OSU and to have Wilson adapt to his abilities for a year. But crazier things have happened.

Apparently Dwayne Haskins looked great and is already second on the depth chart and can throw bombs.  Its one of those situations where the backup QB is always the best player on the team (see O'Korn, John) but depending on what Urban has seen he might think they are better of without JT.  

I certainly wouldn't be upset to see him as still QB at osu next year which I think speaks to the limit his downfield accuracy puts on them against a team with good db's.

They just hired Ryan Day as a QB coach/coordinator. Chip Kelly is not going there, but looks like Kevin Wilson will be added to the staff as well. Wonder when Harbaugh will make his hire. Hopefully soon.

OSU does whatever they have to to win. Whatever! I kind of envy it. Bad pub on new OC? "Ehh, we'll handle it. He's an amazing offensive mind and was a thorn in the B1G's side at his last job." They don't care if it = Ws

If they hire Wilson we won't have to worry about Barrett at QB.. Doesn't have the arm or accuracy for a vertical offense.... as many have said it wouldn't be too crazy for barrett to Transfer to texas. from reading other forums Bucknuts fans seem to think Barrett has hit his ceiling at OSU.. That leaves Burrow and whoever else. Burrow can throw a great deep ball. I watched him torch my High School Alma Mater many many times..and had a good spring game showing last year from what I understand.

Well, if you read Ohio State Twitter, they are fine with Beck going anywhere that isn't called Columbus basically. It does seem like with Beck's influence, the Buckeyes became a far milder version of what they could be in critical moments, culminating in skipping the Fiesta Bowl altogether on Saturday, but I am definitely not inside the circle on that one, just a disinterested observer.
