Maybe even an upgrade! A great recruiter and a co-offensive coordinator!
Home Run Hire At RB Coach
- Thread starter stu4don
- Start date
Almost impossible to be an upgrade but I'm a huge Deland fan. Excellent hire if true though.
He goes from coaching the second best RB in the country to the absolute best! ; )
Love this hire.
Chase, this message is for you.
When you look at all the returning starters on this team that made it to the title game, if whoever the starter is next year hits gold , I seriously don't think you can use the talent argument. On Paper, they can match up with anyone. Ohio State loses alot. WR position will be more lethal for us. Better passer at QB position. Most important factor is our defensive line needs to be healthier/better.
Michigan gets pressure on Ohio state blitzing 4. I think we can do that next year.

Man huge get, especially since this guy was a co-offensive coordinator. I think this speaks to how well respected and liked Freeman is.
I personally can't stand Franklin. There's just something about him that makes him look like a smug a-hole. It surprises me he recruits as well as he does.
The 2025 Ohio St. roster, say the top 35 players, IMO is better than any other roster in CFB.
Like Notre Dame, Ohio St. will start an inexperienced QB with zero meaningful starts, which will carry concerns all the way to game 1.
Seconded. Been saying such since his hire, since his Vandy career was overrated and he did some slimy things during the rape incident/trial by four of his players
But worse, he is smug, as witnessed preceding the OB. His win % against OSU, Michigan, MSU, SEC and the Irish is like 28%
No, I think he means it. They have four on the DL, and then they blitz four additional players. They're going for the sack!
Agreed.
Sorry my friend, what I meant is wolverines are able to get pressure, be disruptive vs ohio state by not blitzing. During the title we could not do this.
The massive talent advantage at reciever for the buckeyes is diminished if we can put safeties overtop of Smith....Tate.
Don't think we can beat them until we have the personel to do this.
I feel like in 2023 we were able to do this. Just unlucky.
