"No Indiana coordinators are taking head coaching jobs. That program has complete alignment. . .Hartline has two goals: be the best coach at USF and win a national title. You can't be 100% in both places." Jake Butt is skeptical of the commitment to both Ohio State and USF

"We have to acknowledge, it is not in the best interest of Ohio State Basketball to make the NCAA Tournament." Jonathan Smith talks about the positive side of missing March Madness.

"I don't think you want a player here that has expressed not wanting to be here long term... and you're certainly are not going to walk him up to free agency and let him go." Bishop & Friends talk with Aaron Portzline about the Columbus Blue Jackets possibly trading Zach Werenski.

"I can't blame those coaches for looking at Curt Cignetti and Ryan Day going head-to-head and saying 'Curt Cignetti beat him. Just now, with less talent'. . . Fair or not, that's how we measure this." Jonathan Smith explains why other coaches rank Cignetti above Ryan Day.

"But if Ryan Day wasn't sure that Arthur Smith was the right fit from a culture standpoint, from an interview standpoint, as a guy that people will want to play for standpoint - then this doesn't happen." Jeremy Birmingham on the culture impact Arthur Smith will have on the Buckeyes.

"At this point, conversations being what they are, I fully expect now that Oregon will be the team to sign Chris Henry Jr."

"I think Brian Daboll would be a great hire for this. . . Someone who comes in and is the Matt Patricia of the offense and let Ryan Day be the head coach." Adam King is on board with the idea of the former Giants head coach becoming a Buckeye.

"The Alabama and Georgia series will not be played by Ohio State...the marquee non conference games that have stakes now exist in the college football playoff." Austin Ward on the Buckeyes upcoming nonconference series

"I think he needs to run it some, I don't think it will be designed runs. Ohio State needs to be able to use it at times, not just extending plays in the pocket...They have always been reluctant to run the Quarterback." Austin Ward on Julian Sayin needing to evolve in the run game
