Michigan Rewind, Prediction Check, and Where Ohio State Goes from Here

Silver Bullets Podcast

This is not the podcast we wanted to have, but it’s the podcast we’ve got. We look back at a calamitous day filled with bewildering coaching decisions in Ohio State’s latest loss to That Team Up North, look back at our score predictions and our picks to click, and try to make sense of such senselessness.
After our Michigan rewind, we look back at the other scores around the Big Ten to see how everyone else made out. It turns out Purdue did poorly again and now Ryan Walters is out as head coach. That’s hardly surprising after such a brutal season. Wisconsin failed to achieve bowl eligibility under Luke Fickell. Penn State took care of business against a bad Maryland squad. Rutgers rolled.
The end of the season is always a time to look back on preseason predictions, and we took a look at how the Big Ten shook out compared to how we predicted it would. We were close on a lot of the final standings but also way off on a few.
Finally, we discuss Ryan Day’s prospects for coaching at Ohio State beyond this season. Does it depend on a postseason run? Does it depend on a deep postseason run? Does his future depend on a natty? We discuss where Ohio State could even go from here if the Buckeyes move on from Day. We throw a few names around. Let us know what you think.

0:20 - The Buckeyes almost couldn’t lose The Game and did it anyway. Our list of things that went poorly is long.
30:46 - Our look around the rest of the Big Ten scores is interrupted briefly by the news that Ryan Walters is out at Purdue.
53:55 - We compare our preseason predictions for the final B1G standings to what actually took place. We won some, we lost some.
1:12:00 - Where does Ohio State go from here? Not in terms of when and where are the next game, but if/should Ryan Day be let go, who are the people who should be in the discussion as a replacement?
