Now THAT would be ELITE.
Boynton signed Jeremiah Johnson for the 2024 class, always a promising sign
How likely do you think this can happen? Percentage-wise. Por favor.
With a contract buyout of $2/3M, I've got a beach house, complete with bailing bucket and water wings, that says he is gone. I also expect MI will pay the extra 1M to start the search earlier.
Wow, talk about a Francon eruption.....
John Groce is available too ~ just down the road
AJ B come on down!

AD Gene Smith is retiring in June after 19 years at the helm. Delicate transition to new AD after two decades and I'm sure they want ample runway for this coaching hire.
Dude is only the 8th AD in OSU history.
For his sake, I hope not.
Ohio State won't find a better coach than Chris Holtzman. They have the players that are just not playing together.. Hope they get someone who leads like Michigan's coach. A big loser!
Sounds like he is ready to make the jump back to B10...scUM, perhaps, lol
I find the demise of Ohio State almost as tasty as the demise of Michigan. I really do. The way they did Thad was pretty sh*tty. I like Thad. Damn good coach. He didn’t deserve that. This feels like karma to me.
I know it is a subjective deal. But it kinda seems like Ohio State has a track record of doing people dirty more than most D-1 Schools…
Even going way back….Bob Knight(take it with a grain of salt) b*tched for years about the way they did Fred Taylor wrong.
I understand the play. They want Bjork to usher in the next coach.
I don’t particularly care for Chris Holtman. But firing the guy before the season is over… seems a little over the top/ excessive.
In other news…If Holtman really did diss Brad…by implying he wasn’t on his level…well that’s a nice bit of karma too.

50/50...always, lol
That would require Zaga to open, which regardless of the noise, I don't see it.
It is when you have an appealing job.Firing a coach mid-season for poor performance reasons is a sure fire way to attract better candidates.

Chris Holtzman is the weather man for Channel 5 in Charleston SC.
They did Holtmann dirty by firing him mid-season.
They did Thad dirty
Ohio State just showed how not to handle a coaching change
Ohio State could have parted ways with coach Thad Matta two months ago. Instead, AD Gene Smith delivered a hard-to-figure June 5 stunner. Now, potential replacements are locked in on other jobs and big-name recruits are already headed to other campuses.
They did Jim O'Brien so dirty that he won millions of dollars in a wrongful termination lawsuit
OSU must pay O'Brien nearly $2.5 million, court rules
An appeals court has affirmed a lower court ruling that Ohio State University owes nearly $2.5 million to former men's head basketball coach Jim O'Brien. Last year a judge ruled that O'Brien's $6,000…

They did Randy Ayers dirty by firing him and then trying to short him on his buyout (he wound up settling for half)
Is there a trend here?
A lot of dominos would have to fall in the right places with Chester and Geoff.
Totally depends on whether Geoff and/or Chester get jobs ...
Let's say they both do ... I'd say getting one of Mike or Antigua is right at 75% ...
I also would not put it above Brad to tell someone to kick rocks if it means he can get Antigua or Mike on staff ...
Oh right, good call. I totally forgot about O’Brien. Yeah that’s a classic example.They did Holtmann dirty by firing him mid-season.

Somehow the Ayers-one…escaped my radar back in the day.
Thanks for the post on this. Yeah it’s official: Ohio State Sucks. Definitely a trend!

Kick rocks? As in someone on our staff? I would certainly hope that would NOT be Chester and I of course give Brad the benefit of the doubt that he is smarter than that.
Do you think Thad would go back there??
Say it ain’t so.
That’s way too close to the college guy that just won’t quit his abusive girlfriend…because he’s whipped and he lacks self confidence.
I hope that’s not him. Don’t do it Thad.
