With Meyer's "retirement".....
- Thread starter LionsandBear
- Start date
Tressel's approach it is. Will be interested to see how quickly he can rebuild those relationships that have been neglected the past 7 years.
Also very curious to see how long his very veteran assistant coaches hang around... Schiano... Johnson etc etc...
Meyer had the seniority and respect... Day is still raw...
I really don't see that much changes for Franklin, certainly I don't see that it's an automatic that he'll "take over the B1G." OSU will still be a tough out, Harbaugh is still at UM, and Dantonio is at MSU. Over the past three years, Franklin has won one game each against UM, OSU, and MSU. He's 3-9 against those schools . Meyer was 8-9 against PSU, MSU, and UM the past three years (only loss to PSU and they still made the CFP that year). If Franklin really is the coach we think he is, then 2-3 yearly against OSU, UM, and MSU is what he needs to achieve.
No one played Tosu closer the last four seasons.
Let’s pump the brakes a little. CJF is a great recruiter, but tOSU is still the number one brand.
If anything i think pressure goes up on the likes of Franklin and Harbaugh now. There is a window now to become the elite team with the Urban Legend now out of Columbus so its up the university and Franklin to take that step forward and grab the brass ring.
This. The opportunity to begin shifting the power structure in the division is there next season. Need to take advantage.
Oh I “forget” where I was going with that.
i see what you did.......also really cool gifCan you imagine the pressure that’s now on Day ? And “ yikes” if expected he loses one or two assistant coaches.
They still have tremendous talent no doubt.., butvtodays Head Coaching jobs.. full time... really are like operating as Mini CEO’s... so much other stuff they have to deal with from expectations , to managing the business , recruiting , press , alumni etc etc.
Think Day is a talented young Coach but he follows a Legend..,expectations high.., eventually OSU will lose to Michigan., and whomever is Coaching the Buckeyes.,,has to deal with the backlash.,,
It’s just the standard that Meyer has created... top recruiting classes.., Top 5 rankings... top Bowl Games.,, in the conversation every year for National title contender..we will be there soon... buththats where OSU is now...
KEEP THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR....We need a few more cliches. PUMP. THE. BRAKES.
EASE OFF ON THE CLUTCH...
FAST & LOOSE
IT'S ALL ABOUT SPEED
HE'S ON THE DANCE FLOOR
POUND FOR POUND, HE'S THE BEST
HE HASN'T DUCKED ANYBODY
THE CAR'S RUNNING A LITTLE LOOSE
THE CAR MUST BE RUNNING ON FUMES
YOU DON'T WIN THE RACE ON THE FIRST LAP
HE JUST GAVE HIM A LITTLE BUMP TO LET HIM KNOW HE'S THERE.
HE GOT HIS LAP BACK
YOU'VE GOT TO FINISH TO WIN
THE GUYS IN THE PITS WON THIS FOR US
Agreed. Only 3 Big 10 teams beat the Meyer-coached Bucks. PSU once, MSU twice, Purdue once. PSU's losses were very competitive as well.

I think everyone is jumping the gun. Remember, Meyer knows the program is in a great place for the transition.
So far, the 2019 class remains entirely committed. The roster is stacked, Day and the coaches did just fine without Meyer hands-on, MEYER will likely remain as a mentor, the coaching staff remains and will likely remain just as well-oiled as it was this season.
OSU won't likely be what it was under Meyer. But folks should hold off on the vacuum being created and the pressures on others.
PSU essentially did beat him in 2014, before the zebras intervened. PSU also should have beaten him the last two years.
The talent recruited by Meyer will help Day for the next year or two. Meyer did have some lucky wins the past couple years. If a couple bounces go against Day and they end up 9-3 for a couple years the OSU momentum may begin to slip. All of a sudden OSU isn't the premier Big Ten program.
True, but jury is out on Riley. OU benefitted from a very down Big12 (virtually no Baylor, no TCU, no Tech, etc). Defense was bad even by Big12 standards (or lack thereof)
LOL. Delusional. Just like 1991 when Penn State was going to show the Big1 0 how to win national championships.
Franklin vs OSU 1-4
Franklin vs Michigan Harbaugh 1-3
Franklin vs MSU 1-4
Franklin has lost the majority of his one on one recruits to Michigan or OSU when that recruit was deciding between PSU Michigan or PSU OSU.
Are Franklin and his agent still floating false interest from SoCal for a salary increase?
When is Franklin going to be courted by the pros? He should be selling used cars.
Franklin lost Lavert HIll, Quinn Nordin, K Hudson, R Gary in the past, this year Mazi Smith, Treevor Keegan to Michigan and Zach Harrison to either OSU or Michigan.
Now lets hear the OSU 62 points kicked your ass and beat OSU response from PSU fans that know deep down PSU will never be the power in the BIG10 conference they long for.
I can already predict good old storminorm responding as I type this.

Thanks for the correction. I had read somewhere that he only had 4 losses total to Big 10 teams which threw me off. I think that was an error. Iowa also beat them once, so I think he's lost 5 total.
And with all that great coaching and recruiting victories you still haven’t won jack###t in the BIG lately.
