I wonder if Gene Smith wasn't retiring if they would've canned him awhile ago. 0 road wins in over a year has to be unacceptable for any AD.

Super guy, just couldn't get it done and a new era needed to be ushered in. Anything is fair game when it comes to Columbus Tech. The local media LOVED the man and would still probably agree with your comparison, as do I.

I think Pat Kelsey would be the HR hire OSU is looking for personally.

Bjork doesn't take over until July. So they just wanted to wipe the stench of Holtmann off in hopes to sell a few more tickets in the last three weeks of the season?

Bjork is already in Columbus and is basically in the wings operating as AD in waiting. Don't be shocked if he's the one calling the shots on this.

It's like the opposite situation of Kentucky, but they've also been wildly more successful in basketball than Kentucky has been in football. Do they think they should be a perennial title contender? At least a Sweet 16 participant every other year or so?

Big fan of Pat Kelsey. Born in Cincy. Played at Xavier. Crushing it at Charleston. Think OSU is such a big job you really need to have been in at least a semi-big seat at some point. You're gonna be dealing with NIL conversations that are larger than your old budget and all the overwhelming stuff of being at the largest athletic department in the country. I think he'd be awesome though. He's gonna be a great coach. Greg McDermott? He might be a Creighton lifer, but I bet he's ready for the next big adventure. Groce? I wouldn't be surprised if they interviewed him either.

The most pressure is on the football and men's b-ball program, but the expectation is there across the board. I think Groce will get a look but I don't expect him to be hired. He's had success in the MAC but his time at Illinois wasn't spectacular. Maybe they'll lure Matta back from Butler. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I wouldn't be surprised if they interviewed him either. I think it depends how OSU views itself in the CBB landscape. Buzz Williams has been pretty consistent, but his ceiling is Elite 8/Sweet 16. Which should be more than enough for OSU, but like I said, it might have greater aspirations. I'm not sure he excites a fanbase, either. I'm seeing Sean Miller, Dusty May, and Lamont Paris as the favorites according to odds --- favoring Paris the most. He's from Findlay and played at Wooster so that could work. South Carolina is 21-3 and cruising right now.

However, his name seems to circulate every season as a mid-major coach that should be in consideration for a P5 job. Even if our program in particular has been trending in the wrong direction. Agree with MDWST. Lamar in any unlikely event that Boals is plucked.

For my money most OSU football diehards I know couldn't care less about the basketball team unless they're doing something good. More bandwagony in that regard I guess is my point.

I’ve been in the city the last 9 years. I have no P5 affiliation so I’m rooting for Holtmann and have always kept a pulse on DePaul. If he produces the way he did at Butler, he’s a legend. If he produces the way he did at OSU, he’s a success. The bar isn’t high and the bones are there (campus in Lincoln Park, Wintrust Arena is amazing). Hopefully the NIL dollars flow in a little easier now. Looking forward to seeing how he handles the portal.
