Smart move.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day said he will take over play calling duties from offensive coordinator Brian Hartline during the College Football Playoffs. Hartline was hired as USF’s coach

A man born on third base who think he's hit a homerun.

Nothing he does matters. The people of Ohio bought him 5 first round picks.

He wins one national title. Cute.

if we are being honest this is an unfair comparison

ryan day was an offensive coordinator so it makes sense he could take that over. if the comparison is to elko i think we all agree he would take over duties on defense if the same situation played out. pretty sure other schools have let coaches coach after getting a HC gif and it works out okay. we just lost to a team that won the line of scrimmage on our field. we could of won they did win. they earned it.

Yes. The only thing that would have even been close to this would have been to let Wiggins call the offense. Which would have been just as equally criticized if the outcome were the same.

Mike Elko is very smart and experienced. He knows what the weaknesses were this season and he is getting paid a lot of money to correct them. I'm sure he knows we must progress forward and not revert to our 8-4 history. The fan base will not stand for going back. Whatever it takes, do it !

Okay, but he did a pretty good job of doing his part for the team and throwing batting practice to the guy that hit the triple, considering how good of an OC he was for the previous coach
