Personally I do think some of the 2002 recruits were highly overated.
|
The jury is still out - but they're not getting off to a good start.
We were #2 in recruiting that year - Texas #1 - Mack Brown (minus OU) seems to be doing a better job developing his talent. |

Bollman (the O line coach) in the booth is very telling indeed.
If he's not coaching the O line tonight then who is? Obviously Peterson, and that's a step in the right direction, imo.

The Buck, no pun intended, stops at the top.
If the coaches aren't performing, it's JT who brought them here.
If the players aren't performing, it's JT that brought them here.
It amazes me that some people blame everyone except JT.
When Coop was here, everything was Coops fault. With JT, it is everyone but JT fault.

The way Tressel micromanages the coaches and the program, he's the one who needs to take responsiblity for the lack of performance by the O-line.
Tressel is the one who also calls the plays. If anyone is to blame for the lack of production from the offense, it's Tressel. |

I agree. Tressel needs to take it upon himself to see that the deficiencies on offense are addressed, and addressed quickly. An NC buys a coach one hell of a long rope, but Tressel seems bound and determined to burn it as quickly as possible. If Bollman is not dealt with, and/or the offensive woes continue, Tressel could be putting himself in jeopardy after the 05 or 06 seasons, as another poster noted.

When Matt Roth runs over, and I mean litterally, our OT (Barton I believe) then you must start to question the tallent that we have brought to Ohio State. I know Roth is good, but there are great DEs Ohio State has faced in the past and I have never seen someone dominate like he did.
Still I can not believe that coaching does not have a big impact on how this OL has performed. Players look confused they have poor form everything still seems to develop very slowly on the o-line, we can't run block to save our life, and pass blocking is well done about 5% of the time we throw the ball.
Then we have turnovers by stupid QB play, (both QBs).
The excuses are done.
I am not saying this to be an ass, but I don't know if we will beat Indiana next week. I think we should, and probably will, but I don't feel confident about the game. We could be looking at no bowl game this season, forget about new years day.
If Bollman doesn't get fired after the season, then I think you can only give Tressel one more year of grace unless this thing gets turned around quick.
To be honest, if it was going to be turned around by more of the same I think it would have happened by now. Tressel looked and sounded defeated in his post game press confrence. I really don't think he has any answers as to what the hell is happening.
I will tell you this, there will be boos this weekend if we don't move the ball vs. IU. Not from me, but I know OSU fans, and they know this is not acceptable and will let the team know.
Bollman should be fired, or resign at the end of the year. There is really no other way of looking at it.
