Juicy question cuz I know there’s a lot of Ohio State friends of mine that see Mike Vel just got cut loose by Tennessee and that’s the guy they want they think that’s the guy that can reverse the sure they I’m sure they do is that at all

Possible the only way I think it’s realistic is if somebody bites on Ryan Day in the NFL to me I’d be surprised if that happens but in the same way that maybe the crafts are are contemplating the future for bich or were without the idea that Vel could possibly be an option for

Them if they do part ways with Bill there’s no that that’s not happening in Columbus Ohio and the athletic department at all I I don’t know how you would I’m sure all the Ohio State fans you know want that yeah I don’t know how you you you get Ryan Day Out you can’t

Fire him I understand that his record is astoundingly astoundingly good I understand that but you understand the way that the Michigan Ohio State rivalry is viewed better than most yeah and also you know what just happened against Missouri transfer portal or not you know they didn’t score a touchdown in a bowl

Game after losing to Michigan for a third straight year and Michigan just won it all you were when you were saying this by the way what I’m doing is you can excuse me call it glowing I call it spitting facts and this is exactly what Ohio State fans are talking about right

Now livid yeah and freaked out that this whole Michigan Ohio State Paradigm has been flipped on its head and Mike Vel just appeared on the open market for coaching so there’s no there’s no there there is what you’re saying I wouldn’t say there’s no there there I mean trust

Me I’m not hoping for it at all I I I I you know and I’m sure Mike Vel wants to stay in the you know level of sport where there’s rules around free agency most you know most coaches I know who you know have the options would rather

Be in the work in the NFL than in college football college football calendar is out of control and it’s way longer and it’s way more chaotic and there’s way less structure to it I’m not saying Mike Rabel wouldn’t love to you know I go back to this and this is

Probably not a fair comparison but like Dan Campbell who’s done an amazing job obviously with the Lions yes you know he’s a Texas A&M guy through and through but I don’t think that’s the right you know I think he looks and goes all right I have a good situation here I’m already

Invested in this now obviously he’s building something as opposed to now you know you have Mike vel’s out the door but I still think Mike Vel given what he did should be a hot commodity in the NFL as well oh there’s no doubt about it so

It’s not like he doesn’t have options I mean a lot of the guys I know who coached in both are like yeah I’d love to coach in the NFL it’s both to college oh I’m just asking the question because I know what Ohio State friends of mine

Are are thinking and talking about I just don’t know how like you would have to hope that you know it’s not going to be the Panthers they’re not going to hire another college coach or whatever but like it would have to be an NFL team

Go I want to take a chance on Ryan Day right now and I just don’t think like Ryan day is a really good offensive coach and one of the things that I know like his Camp has tried to sell is hey he knows he know he’s a really good

Offensive coach and he knows how to work with with young quarterbacks and develop them and so yeah there’s going to be a bunch of bunch of quarterbacks who are coming into the league maybe that would be a pairing but I’m a little skeptical just Ryan day’s name and stock and I

Don’t know how much this carries weight with NFL owners but this is probably as low as it’s been in like three years if you had said this two years ago I’d be like yeah I could see somebody but just a combination of cuz he has spent a

Little time in the NFL as an assistant it’s not like he has no NFL experience but I’m a little skeptical that Ryan day will end up getting a head coaching chance this cycle coming off what they have and that’s the only way that Ohio state would not say we’ve got Vel he can

Come home he played here but what do you do with Ryan day then pay him off honestly I’m and I’m not wishing anything at all as a matter of fact he’s my favorite coach since John Cooper there and I don’t want Vel part of this mix at all certainly if

Harbaugh’s moving on I’m just saying this is what the fans that I know I’m sure yeah I’m sure I just don’t know like Ryan you know Ryan day’s record is remarkable there I know he’s lost he is remarkable yeah I just I cannot imagine somebody would fire a guy who’s 153

Pretty much yeah and the Big 10 and you know it’s just like no I know he came within a honestly he probably came within a missed field goal last year at the last second of winning a national title I’m only asking this because if the greatest coach of all time and we’re

Wondering if the greatest coach of all time might not be where he is right now because rael’s free I can ask that of the Ohio State head coach he’s 56 and8 I mean it’s an absurd record catch the rich eyes and show every single day on

  1. Didn’t Taylor Lewan just say on this show he thinks Vrabel has a 0% chance of going to college?

  2. I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you if you think Vrabel is going to college.

  3. Reaching for memes to fill the show when beating to death the Ryan Day leaving OSU gig. Recruiting rankings today: Georgia, 'Bama, Texas, Miami. OSU . OSU is #5 with 5 stars 12-4 stars Michigan is #15- No 5-stars 18-4 stars.

  4. Theirs's like 11 to 12 jobs that might be opened in the NFL and he said he'll be surprised if someone bites on Ryan Day.
    That doesn't make since to me; wouldn't be surprised if he got the Seahawks opening.

  5. If I’m a Vrabel, the only way I go college is if my duties are restricted to coaching period. No recruiting, no nil involvement, no portal involvement . Of course, Vrabel hails from Akron. Trade Day to the Titans.
    Bruce must have a walk in closet just for his tennis shoes.
    Rich – you don’t have any Ohio State friends – you big fibber.
    This just in….. Day to Coach Bama.

  6. Stop saying ALL ohio state fans,yada yada yada…the majority of us know that Day is a very good coach..a missed field goal last year..a qb mis diagnosis this year. Give it a rest.

  7. Rich is 1000% right. You can’t win 10-11 games and lose to TTUN every year. 10-11 games is good for other teams but not in Columbus.

  8. Rich, OSU just got a new president and is in the process of searching for a new AD. Last thing they are going to do is change the HC for football at this time
