You may have heard some buzz about Ohio State having "the most talented roster in college football" for 2024.
It's been quite the storyline throughout the offseason, which started back when Ryan Day aggressively responded to the Buckeyes ending another season with consecutive losses. Suddenly, status quo became unacceptable - and here we are.
Except the most talented roster glosses over Day's teams' prevailing issues. Talent hasn't been the program's problem since John Cooper's first season. Coaching deficiencies - from nepo babies to underperforming cronies to guys who might be okay coaching somewhere other than this place - were assessed and in most cases exited.
