Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has been making the news a lot lately. He has been on a recruiting hot streak, gaining many of the nation’s top players. One under-the-radar news story is that Day was going to be giving up playcalling duties. While Bill O’Brien may be moving on, Day is still committed to giving up calling the plays. He got brutally honest about it in a recent interview.

Roger Goodell gave his annual State of the League address before the Super Bowl. One of the hottest topics was the league’s gambling policy.

As teams try to fill out their coaching staffs for 2024, Barry landed a new gig with the Miami Dolphins as the team’s new linebacker coach and run game coordinator.

Joel Klatt is one of the many college football analysts who have voiced concerns about the state of the game. With the new NIL rules, the transfer portal has been highly competitive. Players are leaving programs rapidly, and the amount of money being thrown around is massive. Klatt recently said the current college football structure is “unsustainable.” Joel Klatt On College Football: “Unsustainable” https://twitter.com/joelklatt/status/1752852317513347521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1752852317513347521%7Ctwgr%5Ec56d468b4c9730f1cf83cbd072693d8ab39c61be%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthespun.com%2Fcollege-football%2Fjoel-klatt-warns-that-college-football-is-on-unsustainable-path This comes on the heels of Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley taking the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator job.
