To channel MidvaleDave, "Fix it Pat fix it." As much as I am a critic of this hire, give O'Neil a couple more games to settle in. Much more than that without improvement and Fitz risks losing 12 years of defensive progress from a defense that was not much more than a sieve after Vanderlinden and before 2008 .Buckeyes' Day: DC Coombs didn't call plays Sat.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day said secondary coach Matt Barnes, not defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs, is likely to assume playcalling duties moving forward.
When you make a mistake you have to fix it. Fix it Pat. Please.

I don’t care how many guys were lost from last year, giving up 313 yards in less than 20 minutes of football is completely unacceptable (I checked how many yards Duke had at the 10 minute mark if 2nd quarter). . It’s abundantly clear the guy is in way over his head.
The defense reminded me of the ILL game last year where they supposedly had like walk-on tight ends playing LB. It was a bunch of guys running around with no clue. that's what the first half looked like. Against Duke. Might be fixable, but a combination of less experienced plus possibly some less talented guys, and a new system might be responsible. But maybe, just maybe, he is not a good coach. It shouldn't take too long to find out. Nebraska and Rutgers are middle tier to lower tier teams this year. If we give up 450 ypg and 30ppg to those two - 6 weeks into the season, we have a deeper problem than new guys/system
He's not half the man Charlie Weis is!!
Yeah...I mean I've been as critical as anyone when it comes to Fitz staying "local" with his coaching hires, but let's agree - it's not like O'Neill is some wild pitch out of nowhere - has college experience (including at NU), has DC experience at the NFL level - I vaguely recall Hank not engaging in recruiting at all - I'm sure Fitz liked the idea of bringing in a slightly younger DC who would be able to pitch in here and who has a resume that would turn heads. Only time will tell if it is a good pick, but I'm not ready to lose my mind three weeks into the season.
Yes!!!!! Pro football is not the same game as college, but I repeat myself. It’s the only thing I know about football.
On the field - we should not remain bacon light in the shadow of their vulgar porcine darkness.
