I laughed hard when that hire was made. At least we were going to win one.

- Thread starter HUNT
- Start date
It still absolutely confounds me. I still don't have a good explanation of how it even happened. I don't know what hire could've been worse honestly.

Story here is that our AD forced Riley to fire his longtime DC and hire Diaco and then he told everyone in the athletic department (including our 4 time national championship winning volleyball coach) that Diaco was the best coach we had on campus.

Re: Ohio St, and the problems on D
--Much talk that Coombs will no longer call the D. …while I tend to believe that Day has indeed made a change, it is still unconfirmed as of right now.
--If the switch is being made, word is DB coach Matt Barnes will call the shots, w/ few other viable options. Barnes called the Terp D in ’18 w/ help from Buh & Heater, after Durkin was relieved of his duties. The Md ’18 D returned 5 starters (per Phil S) from a ’17 D that Durkin called that gave up a 37.1 ppg. That # dropped to 28.7 in ’18, so maybe Barnes can help here. But Barnes is no long-term solution & you can’t pin OSU’s D problems 100% on Kerry C. Watching from C-Deck last Sat, I can tell you the body language of much of the D looked like the game was taking too long, and they had somewhere else to be. And don’t be fooled by the 247 rankings on this side of the ball. Too many 4 & 5-star guys simply are NOT 4 & 5-star guys. Still, Kerry Coombs owns a large portion of the problems on this underachieving D.
--H Garrett is getting most of his snaps at the 1-T, as OhSt at this point has no replacement for T Togiai who was a run-stopping machine there last yr. Too many natural 3’s & too few options at the nose. Though, true frosh Tyleik Williams got 3 snaps there late against Oreg & drew quick praise from many. Still, it was 3 plays and don’t see him truly making a move until Yr 2 at the earliest.
--One of the few bright spots Sat was the play from the outside corners. They got Cam Brown back after he missed the Minny gm and most of LY w/ a torn achilles. And 1st-yr guy Denzel Burke is an absolute stud. Burke played the most snaps of any defender against the Ducks. JT Tuimaloau has also caught on quickly & will play A LOT from here on out.
--Deep safety Josh Proctor is out for the year, just when he was turning a corner and becoming the safety most Buckeye fans thought he would be. The downgrade from Proctor to B Shaw was as big as it gets. Enough so that OSU will likely try other options there tomorrow.

Great info. Thanks sir.
Appreciate all the notes
Good stuff, Buck. Barnes is going to be calling the shots, which has been in the works since pre-season.
Thanks guys.....and wow on this being in the works since preseason
I prefer over today.

Forgot that I can't even bet this in IL. So frustrating.
