Football: Quarterback battle still in question after Spring Game

In a quarterback room featuring five different quarterbacks in contention for the starting job, none stood out above the rest in this year’s rendition of the Spring Game. Ohio State’s Scarlet team came away with a 34-33 win against the Gray in the annual Spring Game at Ohio Stadium. The five...

Missed this when posted, but in having my ear in coaching circles down here, it seems like the deciding factor on why this kid didn't flip to Miami is because he wanted to play with Cam Ward but thought he'd stay in the NFL Draft (Miami got Ward about two weeks after signing day).

If he leaves, my expectation would be he ends up in Coral Gables. Sounds like it was very close at the end.

This is just the tip of the ice berg as more kids sign contracts that they truly don’t understand and don’t fully realize what they are obligated too.

I'm not sure where the confusion is, but seems to me you should know if you have a contract. Surely he has a lawyer?

Lawyers are wrong all the time. Contracts get voided all of time. Maybe he didn't understand the full legality of what he was signing. Maybe a lawyer told him to sign it, but thought if there was any issues in the future it would be easy to get out of. I just see this sort of thing happening a lot moving forward. I mean professional athletes get screwed in contract negotiations all the time and they are grown ass men who are supposed to have college educations. :LOL: Not trying to imply he got screwed here just that grown men have issues understanding the full scope of contracts they are signing and thats with lawyers at hand.

Hence my comment on his dad. Apparently he was representing him when they signed the binding sheet about a year ago.

I'm aware of the history of bad contracts. I'm not sure who isn't the smart one here, but it seems someone should have dug into this before starting up his sight. If he hurried and signed their contract to get the payday, then shame on him.

I think his extension will be more than enough to keep him here. This is his culture he built, these are his coaches.

Hire Urban again. Him and Ohio St. are perfect for each other. A smug coach who likes to smell his own farts, a smug institution that likes to smell it's own farts and a smug fan base that likes to smell their own farts.

Or don't. There are plenty of guys that would want that job.

Just leave my beautiful man Marcus alone.

I’ve had the same concern. Lock MMFF up w big $ buyout clause.

The OSU motto this year was title or bust. When bust inevitably occurs, it might get interesting.

I wouldn’t even be shocked if they made a move for Cignetti and offered to foot the bill.

Losing to Michigan 4 times in a row create desperate people.

Are they really talking about firing him?
I mean, that's kind of crazy
But I get it with the Michigan block
And I also get it, considering he is a little bitch who wants to fight old men

I don’t think anyone has ever liked him, they just tolerate him. There are some BK type parallels with him in that regard, but they are magnified with Day because their bar is title every year.

It becomes much harder to tolerate someone who can’t win a title, or even beat Michigan for that matter.

My brother was at the game and said the tumblers have his picture on them. What an arrogant lil bitch. I can see Knute Rockne, legend and deceased, but current coach?

I want them to hold on to Ryan Day for as long as possible. I think Marcus has built his program exactly the way he has wanted, proven he can win at ND, has his coaches in place who love ND, lock him up with huge money and call it a day.

Assuming that is secure, I don't want OSU getting Cignetti. He would be super dangerous there.

I don’t remember the exact language in the contract, but I remember reading IU basically baked a poison pill into it that would make Cignetti untouchable to MOST programs, but I’d assume Ohio State is immune to financial poison pills.

When that ruckus was going on, the camera showed Day. The look on His faced said he was clueless on what to do. He wasn’t in the middle trying to get his team under control which is where Holtz would have been.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying the scent of one's farts.

I doubt they'd really fire Day but if they wanted to, the playoffs make the timing very interesting. They'll be in it, and the coach hiring cycle will move forward without them. Though I guess if they lose in the first round it'd still be early enough, and if they advance he'll save his job.
