This will be the thread for hot takes regarding the special teams and overall coaching in our game against OSU.

Gutsy play calls by Sharrone. He's come into his own. He outcoached Day.

Special Teams is excellent. Doman shanked the kick off which enabled OSU to get the TD otherwise it was geat.

Turner is as good as Money Moody was.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I felt like the play calling once we got into field goal range the last two drives was way too conservative. It felt to me like an old Lloyd Carr game where we were putting the ball and the game in the other team's hands. We got away with it and I'm ecstatic, but especially without Will Johnson, I would have liked to see them play for the win on that last drive. I think Harbaugh 100% would have been more aggressive.

You sometimes hear coaches say that when the play works they're geniuses, and when it doesn't they're idiots. I certainly wish we could have finished the game by completing that drive with a TD, but the intent of the drive--to run out the clock--succeeded. For me, that was the most dramatic and pleasurable moment in the game, when I realized--long after Sherrone did--that the clock was running down on OSU and we were in great position to win!

And our fantastic D closed it out, which is also fitting. And knowing you can relying on the D, that they will finish the job, is any coach's goal.

I'll wait to see what we were trying to do on those couple of failed third-down plays before judging. All it takes is one guy to fall down or a defender to intervene somewhere and a clever call is nonetheless unsuccessful.

CRYIN RYAN LOST TO THE BACKUP COACH.

They performed an effective asymmetric decapitation strike on our program. Everything was set up for them going in this week. Then they got injuries to our best OL and our most indispensable defensive player.

Bye Ryan.

Hello Sherrone. And welcome back Harbaugh.

Just so proud of Sherrone, the coordinators, the position coaches, the analysts, all the support staff. You did it, and will always be remembered for the most amazing demonstration of resiliency in the face of incredible circumstances!
