Said on the air so no link. Strong Ohio ties they say.

Doubt this is true and most likely just to have some interviews as required if it is. I hope it is. Uncertainty is the best possible scenario. Hopefully it all pisses off Day.

Ill admit, I cringed when they talked about him to Ann Arbor, and we got Harbaugh instead... and I'll also admit, that we may have been better off to have an Ohio guy, who could beat OSU...  We needed it with Bo, as Bump couldn't do it.  Jim couldn't either, apparently.  Sucks, but am being honest with myself here. Although I do believe we win next year.

Of course he is. Honestly shocked Saban hasn't already accepted the job. I guess John Cooper was the blood sacrifice for the decades of unbelievable luck they have had.

 

Fuck OSU.

LOL Saban will never leave where he is.  When everyone sees a prized recruit's mom driving a new set of wheels and another recruit's entire family moves from Hawaii to Alabama all expenses paid and there is no consequence... Ohio may be closer to the South but it's not actually the South.

Like I said in the other thread, I doubt Day will be the long term solution there. They can do better. 

 

Edit: I stand corrected. Day just signed a 5 year deal.

Probably some law that requires them to interview at least one other candidate.  "Bob, this is Gene.  Do you mind if we say you're interviewing? (Long pause) Cool, thanks. (aka ok, cool. hook em)"

Umm OSU gave Day a 5 year contract. So pretty sure the Stoops stuff is nonsense.

Also, the pipe dream of Kingsbury being the OC is officially dead as he signed a deal with USC per Feldman and others on Twitter.

I don’t get it.  Every single news source has reported that Day will be the new head coach.  So why should I think that this non-linked story is even close to being true?  Is it a coordinator position?

Heywaitaminute! I hear Brady Hoke needs a job now and is willing to rappel himself to Columbus on Charlotte's web all the way from Charlotte!

So I'll guess it's Bob Stoops that they want to talk to, although I would vastly prefer they speak with (and hire) his brother Mark.  Or, just maybe (hopefully?), they'll be talking to Mark as the possible DC under Day?  That wouldn't be so bad, either...

Yes.  Mark Stoops as DC for OSU would be a great hire for them.  Experienced Big 12 DC operating with the Big 12-like offense of Day (run by Tate Martell).  This doesn't seem so bad...

He actually did NOT say that. What he said was something along the lines of he would have been more worried as a Michigan fan if the report had been Bob Stoops was interviewing vs. Ryan Day is taking over.

Yes, and I have an exclusive transcript of the conversation:

OSU Admin : Hey Bob, thanks for talking to me.  We're going to hire Ryan Day but if he loses to Michigan a couple times we'll give you an offer.

Bob Stoops : OK

Did he say this was going to happen or was he theorizing about potential candidates? Literally nobody else has said this and Day already has a contract per multiple people.
