Former Ohio State grad and longtime nfl defensive coach. Al Washington is going to be out, Jim Knowles to coach linebackers along with the defense. Change was needed. Kinda glad the DC is going to coach LBs. Worked well with Fickell the last few years before he left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyPhil1781 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 When was the last time the team saw a coaching overhaul like this? Not saying it wasn't needed but more than I simply just don't remember it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just glad we're not doing back-to-back road trips to Happy Valley and East Lansing and that they're spread out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach was no doubt a dumpster fire, but his position group was also contingent upon J.T. Barrett, whereas the linebackers have been BAD despite quality play and super highly touted and ranked recruits who haven't been developed there.

NateDawg Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) It was a defense that couldn’t tackle and didn’t attack. When you have a Linebacker group graduate that were all highly recruited and never contributed meaningfully in college, you have to pin that development on the linebackers coach. Al Washington not returning was the easiest of easy decisions. Even if he is a draw to recruits and seems to be a good relationship builder. Coombs I would have loved to have stayed and coached our cornerbacks given his track record as a position coach and churning out NFL guys at the position. Maybe things were getting stale though. Hopefully these next guys work out and also keep the recruiting at their positions at a high-level. LB and offensive line are the two position groups we need to see the greatest improvement.

MSURacerDT55 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Kudos to Day for demanding excellence out of his coaching staff, it may be harsh but its no different than what Saban does. Hopefully those guys demand a certain toughness and attitude we haven't had since 14/15 Edited January 14, 2022 by MSURacerDT55 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuses for the gradual deterioration of the lack of physicality on the offensive side, the lack of dedication to consistently running the football, and the clear discrepancy of late against top tier competition in big time games. I’m optimistic, but I’m not absolving Day of blame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m optimistic, but I’m not absolving Day of blame. I think not winning the point of attack in the running game is a serious issue. I think if you look back at two years ago, even with Justin Fields, they relied on the power running game with JK Dobbins and the offensive line. As much as they seemed like a finesse team last year, when they needed the short yardage or to establish the run, they were getting beat up front. I think the reliance on the passing game was less part of the plan and more out of necessity. I hope at least they can get back to balance. Making a change with the offensive line coach I guess is the first move there. Edited January 16, 2022 by NateDawg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
