    Sark announcement coming at happy hour.

    I hope he gets right to work on upgrading facilities. Open bar in the film room. Beer fridges in the bubble. Kegs on the sidelines at DKR. Let's get this shit going.

    Go big or go home. Stumblin Rumlin as OC.

    People will convince themselves next year could be better.  It's easier than accepting that we're in a holding pattern and will have to wait 21 months before we see the next regime coach a game.

    Probably one of the more depressing things about all this is the fanbase convincing themselves things COULD be better because we fired all of our coordinators, again, and not because we lost them due to them having wild success and going off to a HC'ing job elsewhere. By and in large the infrastructure of any successful program can withstand a bad hire here and there with the vast majority of their coordinators being poached along the way. Where we seemingly are cleaning house every 3 years and total regime changes every 4. We're like some war torn eastern European country like Scruvuvlvia or Bajoohavistan teetering between feuding warlords every time the seasons change.

    This is most likely reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.  Herman's initial staff was terrible in retrospect.  Someone who fucks up that badly probably isn't turning things around.

    Herman has the added pressure of coming off a paper tiger effort from Orlando. Strong's first year defense was scary but the offensive woes made it unsustainable for a defensive minded head coach from the jump. Orlando seemingly had a the chops to let the offense do its thing but ended up being the Cro-Magnon pencil salesmen he appeared to be. The drop off from last year to this year was nothing short of alarming. It was clear he had no answers when opponents started to scheme against him and he had no ability to adjust in game or week to week. I'm not as worried as the OC hire as I am the DC. Now we have to make a home run hire defensively, that new staff has to come in and undo all the poor coaching, install a new scheme, get the defense on the same page, recruit, and all in one offseason. Where have I seen this before...

  5. I mean it's evident that all of this needs to happen but it doesn't feel great... Strong didn't get it right with his transitional hires when he took over. Herman didn't either. Strong couldn't make up the ground necessary to create a cohesive team to do fuck all when he cleaned house. Now we're on the exact same tipping point with Herman hoping that he can make up the ground by reshuffling the majority of his staff. Having to clean house in year three, necessary or not, isn't the best place to be in. 

  6. We're not really in a great place here. Fire a coach at the end of a 3 year tenure and off of a 10 win season, sugar bowl victory the season before. When it's rather evident to most at this point, even at times last season, that Herman appears to not be the solution we hoped for and part and parcel to the problem we've endured for a decade now. Or ride Herman again with a supposedly Russian roulette of new coordinators with nothing but a flimsy promise that they'll be rented out for a year if Herman can't figure it out. Again, we find ourselves in a situation where the letting go of personnel sends a message to prospective replacements that we're a program that has no patience for short term failure. Flip side of that is we seem to keep hiring staffs that apparently don't know how to solve getting out of a wet paper bag with a machete in the short term. We're still walking that fine line of sticking with the hires we've made in the respect of continuity versus cutting our losses and trying to find a whole new solution. A 4th iteration of that solution is rather frightening at this point but I can safely say that my expectations have been tempered like a Babylonian whore in hopes of rescue from her destitute existence. This recycle of coaches, head or otherwise, is getting tiresome. I sincerely doubt there will be a hire that moves the needle at this point. Finna be a long offseason.

    That quote has got to be one of the worst in the 2010s from a college player. Almost as bad as "I didn't come to Ohio State to play school". Three years ago we were staring at a 5 win season after getting blown out at home to TCU. You really think we would have been happy if you jumped in your time machine and told us after that game that we'd be a 7 win program in a few years? What the fuck?! Sam has been a hell of a player for the program but jesus christ you can't say something like that around this fanbase. 

    Dude... what? Sam basically reached into the manila envelope of the generic athlete answers filled with about a dozen stock options on little fortune cookie sized paper-ettes and pulled out "rome wasn't built in a day" and "I don't know the fuck is wrong with my coaching staff".  I'm not quite certain how that can be considered one of the worst quotes from a decade from across college... Sam essentially didn't say anything to this fan base. Just QB speak. QB speak exists for the sole purpose of not being parsed. So why are you doing it?

  8. Think we're casting to negative a light on some QB speak from a young man who had a disappointing season overall compared to expectations. Haven't really been paying attention to whether or not he's had his head caved in after his comments after the sugar bowl. But obligatory what is he supposed to say? "Rome wasn't built in a day..." is about as vanilla as it goes. For all intents and porpoises, I don't think anybody knows where the offense went. Dude had some white bread answers after the last game of a shit season. Sam is far from where any vitriol should be directed.
