Who's "THE" Ohio State's OC?

The guy who just took the USF job.

My first choice if Campbell doesn't take a bunch of the staff with him would be to continue on from within his coaching tree and retain as many as possible. The program has been so laser focused with the way we do things that I don't think the culture and the way they do things would change with the right leader among them. We'd probably just be looking at some different strategies and level of aggression on the field.

I have a very hard time believing Campbell wouldn't take the vast majority of the staff with him.

I don’t hate the Scheelhouse idea, but as someone else said, it would take a lot to leave nfl

Not saying you have to be smart to be a good football coach. But Entz always seemed like a big-time dumbass.

I think you do in today's world. There's so much more than just coaching football.

Your Woody Hayes and Bear Bryants of the world couldn't do it now.

If were brining back the Cynado . . . How about we bring in Sage Rosenfels.

One thing that really sucks is that even if we find someone who is a good coach it’s very likely that they will just move on a lot faster than Matt Campbell.

We had the ******* unicorn.

I disagreed with @Lineup, then @Die4Cy reminded me of Norton & Sanders. Seems like what's good for the goose, ...

Don't dumb me @Lineup, I've come around and agree with you!

Taylor Mouser

No. Please no.

I could see Mouser in an attempt to keep players and commits.

No. Try to keep commits yes, but don't hire just for that reason.

if its mouser im turning in my diploma and going after my tuition

Yes. As we all should.

Mouser left is gf to stay with Campbell, he'll be going with him.

Fine by me.

Blame SEC/BIG10. If this was 20 years ago, Campbell stays for life IMO.

Here's my fear, being realistic where ISU stands in the NIL hierarchy. Even if the perfect hire is made, and the team is still rolling 3 years from now, what are the odds the new guy sticks around for 10 years like Campbell did?

My other fear is the 2026 roster is going to be awful compared to what we all thought a few days ago....

Woodley/Kempt. Fug it, get crazy, passion means more than experience.

Paul Rhoads had passion

He's not making as much as you'd think in that role. ISU HC is a big step up paywise... now he could REALLY love living in L.A. who really knows? Calls must be made though

 

[HoibergIsMyHero]

I thought Mouser would be more well liked around here as a potential candidate. Is it the play-calling? Maturity?

 

[ghyland7]

I get it, and I am hopeful we find somebody good.

Indiana has waaaaaaaaaaaay deeper pockets and donor support.

 

[jcf817]

Nice! Let's get THAT guy!

Whoever it is, the program has to keep building from here. It is not a foregone conclusion that ISU will forever be a stepping stone job. The current uncertainty in CFB is contributing here.

I don't see anybody on ISU's staff, other than Heacock, who is has the requisite experience and background to be a P4 head coach.

We got a Mark Cuban laying around to donate?
