Ohio State Snowflakes: The Coaching
November 26th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
The best damn staff in college football.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:22 PM ^
We outcoached the hell out of them. Insane. Threw enough to make them change and ran it down their throat. Defense bend but don’t break. They were getting 5 yards every play on run and like 15 every pass and we almost shut them out second half?! Also they lost their shit with the penalties.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:23 PM ^
Im forced to take everything I ever said bad about this staff back. Harbaugh always has a good gameplan for OSU but wow. That was beautiful
November 26th, 2022 at 4:24 PM ^
At the end of the first half I thought about this thread and said, "Oh its going to be ugly with that clock management."
But that 2nd half...WOW! Jim and the coaching staff pulled out all the strings and put on a masterful display. That was amazing!

November 26th, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
Sun stroke maybe
November 26th, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
This is too funny. All those passing yards in the snow last year and yet it was the weather.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:26 PM ^
Fuck Ryan Day. Still waitin’ to hit 100 OSU?
November 26th, 2022 at 4:48 PM ^
Well he didn't say all in one game...they might get there one day..but not sure Day is going to last much longer.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:28 PM ^
I’d like to propose a toast. To Jim Harbaugh, for making us Michigan again.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
Didn’t drink at all during the game.
Two victory beers afterwards.
First time in my Michigan fandom seeing what it’s really like to be Michigan at its best. And I fucking love it.
No flu or weather excuses this year. It was a perfect day for football. And like we said all damn year after the snowy game, it wasn’t the weather. It was a better team beating down a mentally soft opponent.
OSU brought more fight this year, at home, with perfect weather…and got beatdown even worse than a year ago.
Dear OSU fans: told ya so.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:29 PM ^
Give Moore and Minter a raise. You have got to keep them here as long as possible.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
The best part is: We keep playing football! What a win!!! For the ages. Loved those first down long shots. Saved.the half back pass for the least likeliest guy to ever throw a pass -- ever. And it worked. Play of the game. What a win!!! Incredible. WOLVERINES!!!!
November 26th, 2022 at 4:32 PM ^
Harbaugh owns Day! Minter again delivers the excellent 2nd half and the O delivered big plays.
Go Blue!
November 26th, 2022 at 4:33 PM ^
Here is some Schadenfreude for you...
November 26th, 2022 at 5:25 PM ^
Fuck em.
11-1 and you want to fire your coach.
Good. Do it. It’s about time OSU found out what it’s like to wander the wilderness of mediocrity. They’ve been spoiled like nobody else in the country except Bama.
If we acted like them Harbaugh would have been gone years ago and this - beating great OSU teams in back-to-back years - would have never happened.
They need some Rich Rod and Brady Hoke type of years to gain some perspective imo.
November 26th, 2022 at 8:20 PM ^
Betcha a quarter there's a "Call Urban's Agent" thread somewhere on the Buckeye boards.
November 27th, 2022 at 12:31 AM ^
Naw, they’re all ready to hand the keys over to Luke Fickell
November 27th, 2022 at 12:51 AM ^
But we already beat Luke Fickell . . .
November 26th, 2022 at 4:35 PM ^
Absolute masterpiece
unreal!
November 26th, 2022 at 4:35 PM ^
ITS NOT A FLUKE YOU BUCKEYE SONS OF BITCHES
November 26th, 2022 at 4:37 PM ^
Coaching was masterful. Your best player wasn’t good enough to play and his backup had one hand. You couldn’t run at all because they were overplaying to stop the run.
And you had JJ and the receivers ready to meet the moment.
Just glorious game planning and execution. Not gonna lie, it felt like “one of THOSE” OSU games in the 1st half. But then JJ made a quick throw to CJ avoiding a blitz, CJ breaks a tackle, and game on.
I don’t have words. I thought it was a sure loss with Corum like that. I’ve never been happier to be wrong.
Go. Blue.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:37 PM ^
Really excellent on our side.
On their side though...
I sort of thought they might dial up a heavy dose of cover 0 to stuff the running game, JJ was pretty shaky last game, and it would take JJ hitting the target to get them back to a base look.
But then JJ hit the target over, and over, and over again, and they never came out of cover 0, was it worth it guys? How many roughly 80 yard plays did they give up?
This was coaching negligence, they've got to get rid of that coordinator.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:06 PM ^
Four plays went for at least 69 yards and a touchdown. Cornelius Johnson caught 69 and 75 yard touchdown passes in the second quarter, then Donovan Edwards ran for 75 and 85 yard touchdowns in the fourth.
November 26th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
The 45 yarder to Loveland is pretty impressive too.
November 26th, 2022 at 11:30 PM ^
No doubt! The fact that was only our fifth best play of the day is amazing.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:37 PM ^
Breathtaking, like literally I'm having trouble breathing after watching this. The experience of watching that game was like riding my favorite roller coaster happily buzzed on my favorite wine with all the strangers on the ground giving me a big thumbs up the entire time.
It still seems impossible, but it really happened and these coaches deserve a mountain of credit. They held up just long enough to start throwing haymakers and they landed, and landed, and landed.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
Beautiful! That is all!
November 26th, 2022 at 4:42 PM ^
- Against a rival
- On the road
- Against a ranked team
- A top ten team
- A top 5 team.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:42 PM ^
We won .... ! Coaching ... offense ... defense ..... Who cares! Woo Hoo
I will say this about the coaching ... class act putting Blake in there at the end to finish it off.
He was a HUGE reason for how good we have done this season.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:43 PM ^
Halftime adjustments? Check.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:44 PM ^
Harbs back to back, love this team
November 26th, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
As one who has argued that JH was not balanced enough this year on offense....those second half adjustments were simply brilliant.
We have seen great second half adjustments all year, but they were usually more noticeable on D. Today it was the offensive adjustments that made all of the difference.
Contrary to what one might have predicted, when OSU stayed in the single high safety coverage, Michigan burned them with explosive passing and running plays. And the players executed very well.
Michigan outcoached OSU on both sides of the ball. OSU has a very well-designed passing playbook. They are bristling with 5 and high 4-star talent. But...this year and last, Michigan had the game day and game plan coaching advantage. And it was not close.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:50 PM ^
Bend don't break. Make them go the distance. Oh, yeah, and the OSU red zone offense is about last in the nation.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
We were outcoached in the first half. But what a great second half.
The trick play using #20 after setting up OSU that he was just a fill-in big back on the 3rd & 1 play? Fucking genius.
I bow to the genius that is JH. Pay the man, please.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:54 PM ^
I think outcoached is a bit strong. OSU started with the ball and M was down 3 at half. Number 2 offense in the country scores on the opening drive. Michigan plays to win the second half all season. I think Jim was testing how OSU plays MIchigan at game speed.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
The way OSU attacked the edges in the first half and shutting down the offense? I think it rates "outcoach" status. But I get your comment.
Ultimately, the always spot on second half adjustments made by Michigan all season? Just crushed the Bucknuts and earns JH legend status.
The Khaki Jesus is back! Go Blue!!
November 26th, 2022 at 5:19 PM ^
Does Harbaugh deserve Tuck kind of money?
November 26th, 2022 at 4:48 PM ^
In the post-game, Urban Meyer all but announced that he is going to try to replace Ryan Day. Basically said Day has serious issues.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:52 PM ^
I would like to go to a playoff game in Atlanta.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:52 PM ^
Halftime adjustments have been outstanding all season but today's turn around exceeded any reasonable persons expectations.
November 26th, 2022 at 4:54 PM ^
The coaches won this game months ago when they A) moved Sainristil to defense, and B) convinced Oluwatimi to transfer to Michigan.
November 26th, 2022 at 9:22 PM ^
And recruited Mason Graham
And took a flyer on Eyabi Okie
And ....
November 26th, 2022 at 4:59 PM ^
there’s a whole lot of “man, was i wrong about harbaugh” on this thread.
y’all need to remember this moment.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:01 PM ^
The staff has proved themselves over and over. Great job by the entire staff. No qualifiers for me. Well done.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:03 PM ^
BPONE is vanquished...
November 26th, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
Winning streak versus OSU.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
Massive advantage in coaching last 2 years! Watched game in Cabo OSU fans rushing to pay tab w 3 minutes left to go.
November 26th, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
Anyone else catch Meyer say "we" when talking about OSU half-time adjustments?
Fuck him and Ohio State!
