Kerry should definitely be on the sidelines as a position coach. His enthusiasm is infectious, and I agree, the DC experiment is over. I love seeing turmoil in Columbus, though.

More then happy to watch things sour there. All tweets and stories about it hopefully find their way to one undecided safety recruit and then we hope for Iowa to find a few L’s soon

Prayers for this young man. Hope he gets it figured out.

Ohio State lineman Harry Miller to medically retire from football, citing mental health

Ohio State offensive lineman Harry Miller announced he is medically retiring from football Thursday, and shared that he had intentions to take his own life prior to the 2021 season.
Miller, a fourth-year player for the Buckeyes, said he had notified head coach Ryan Day of his suicidal thoughts and Day immediately put him in touch with medical professionals to seek help.
Miller had been absent from this year's spring practices and was deemed unavailable a few days ago without explanation. He shared the reasoning behind the decision to retire in a detailed statement on social media.


"I would not usually share such information. However, because I have played football, I am no longer afforded the privilege of privacy, so I will share my story briefly before more articles continue to ask, 'What is wrong with Harry Miller,'" his statement read. "That is a good question. It is a good enough question for me not to know the answer, though I have asked it often."

After meeting with medical professionals, Miller said he tried going back to football while covering up the scars on his wrists and throat with tape.
"At the time, I would rather be dead than a coward. I'd rather be nothing at all, than have to explain everything that was wrong," he said. "I was planning on being reduced to my initials on a back of a helmet. I had seen people seek help before. I had seen the age-old adage of how our generation was softening by the second, but I can tell you my skin was tough."
Miller, a student in the Ohio State college of engineering with a 4.0 GPA, will continue his studies. He said in the statement that Day is also finding a way for Miller to help other players in the program who might be addressing mental health.
"I hope athletic departments around the country do the same," Miller said. "If not for [Day] and the staff, my words would not be a reflection. They would be evidence in a post-mortem."

This isn’t a good trend long long-term.

Agree to disagree

I’m from Ohio, so I get the pull that the program has for most of this state and I get how good Ohio high school football is.

But that being said, talent is *never* going to be the issue for OSU if they continue recruiting nationally.

One 2024 Ohio OL recruit going to Michigan doesn't mean anything. It's beyond ridiculous how much overreaction has happened since Saturday because of that result.

It is insane. Some of their fans are calling for Day to be fired lol. Day is 1 of 2 coaches I’d replace MF for. The other is Saban.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Whoever eventually replaces Saban at Bama will incur the same reactions as Day is getting multiplied by 10. or 20 or 30

It will be considerably worse. 45-5 at Alabama right now would be catastrophic.

Everyone thinks the fans at their rival school are nuts, but it’s hard to grasp how crazy OSU fans are unless you’ve lived in this state.

They’re the worst. They’re so bad they make me root for Michigan 🤢

I never even realized it until I left my little pro-Notre Dame bubble in Youngstown and went 45 minutes down the road to Kent State. They're operating on a whole different level.

 

[MacIrish75]

I wouldnt go that far but there fans are extremely cocky. I live in Ohio too and their fans think their shit doesn't smell they were so cocky going into Saturday thinking Michigan wasn't even a threat or on the same level as them

Northeast Indiana is an amalgamation of ND/OSU/UM/Purdue/IU fans. OSU fans are by far the most obnoxious.

There's enough in the Browns fanbase to let me know years ago,... way before they won that natty over Miami... Bama and tOSU have beyond nutbags who will get violent, be beyond super obnoxious or just generally be asshats as the average fan way more than your other regular bases IMO...

Yeah I live in Northwest Ohio and its the same, big mixing pot of UM ND and OSU fans. I grew up near Ann Arbor though and I do not think anything is as bad as Walmart Wolverines.

If Michigan has Walmart Wolverines, the Central Ohio Buckeye Fans I’ve met must be doing their shopping at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet.

And the kicker is those are the OSU fans that can’t name 5 players off their team. They know the QB a WR and maybe a defensive player if they’re going to be a top 10 pick.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

When Ryan Day loses to James Franklin or gets boat raced on the road to Iowa and Purdue, maybe they should panic.

Absolutely not.
Day is not elite in any sense.
They play a lot of mediocre teams really close & only pull away because of lopsided talent advantages.
Did you hear Urban at halftime? He was sickened by OSU’s gameplan. He couldn’t believe how bad it was on both sides of the ball. That’s the third time I’ve seen Urban noticeably bothered by OSU’s gameplan on live TV. Urban is a perv, but dude knows football.
Day inherited a top 2 program and has dropped it out of the top 5 in short order. What is OSU’s signature win under Day?

They beat the shit out of Clemson in the 2020 CFP.

But I generally agree. Harbaugh's comment last year was perfect. "Some people are born on third base and think they hit a triple"

Day inherited an elite roster/program and has next to nothing to show for it. He's not elite.

 

[Sully81785]

I live in Columbus and one of my greatest enjoyments in life is going to a bar to watch a game that OSU ends up losing. The meltdowns are real…and amazing.

All of this. Nothing Day has done since Meyer left has impressed me in the least. You just got your ass whipped by a team with almost zero run game with their Heisman candidate out, their back up with his is GOOD hand wrapped up and a QB that hasn't shown he can beat anyone in the air all year. The game plan was of Titanic proportions. Undisciplined penalties, uncharacteristically not tough. Its a bad football team in a worse conference.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

So if Ryan Day isn't elite, is he SWAC?

This is the kind of banter that takes programs directly into hell for them to never return. He's 45-5 overall in his tenure there and loses to Michigan twice, so they're making short lists to replace him.

I don't know if it is more dangerous or stupid.

Hopefully they get run off the field by Georgia and the vitriol gets even worse.

pOSU fan twitter accounts have to be melting down right?
