What insights were shared about Ohio State football's spring practice?
Welcome back to the Bill and Doug show. Doug Landryson, Bill Landis. He said, let me go get a tissue right when I hit the button to run the intro. It's first day of spring practice. Everybody's shaking off the rust around the Ohio State football program. We were out at the Woody on Tuesday morning. We got to watch about an hour of practice, including five full periods, which was nice. We got a little handle on things. We came back and heard from Ryan Day for about half an hour. We are expected to be back there on Thursday to watch another hour of practice and I think potentially hear from the coordinators maybe. I think that might be the plan. Um, there's Thursday. No Thursday is, uh, Julian saying Jackson.
They are the coordinators in their own way. Julian saying as the faces of those two sides of the ball. So we're going to talk to those guys. Um, but we, on this show, we're going to do a big Wednesday show on our sub stack feed. We're not going to get into every single thing that happened because the thing bill is a little crazy is we had not talked to Ryan day or early anybody around the team, like at the Woody and any kind of news conference capacity since, uh, The season ended, so we had a lot to cover on Tuesday. We did, yeah. It felt... It wasn't like a disjointed press conference. Maybe it was a little bit. There wasn't so much ground to cover. You show up after that long not talking to people, you're not entirely sure what to ask about.
It was fine. We got some decent information, I think. But yeah, there was a few different topics discussed. Yeah, often we want to... Like, a day like this, you want to talk about ball. You want to talk about, like, how the players are going to fit into the plan. But also, Arthur Smith, Cortez Hankton, and Rob Disher had been hired to the coaching staff since we've talked to Ryan Day. So, like, we could have done an hour on those three hires, right? Yeah, and they brought in 51 new players and lost, like, 30. So, you know, we didn't... And it's hard because... You want to move on, but I don't know if we're ever going to have... And maybe the answer is they just don't want to talk about players that are gone, so they weren't going to speak to players by name.
But he didn't really get asked about like the idea of Fahim Delane and Quincy Porter and Mylon Graham and Aaron Scott and Bryce West and sort of this young underclass of second and third year, big time recruits who hadn't really gotten on the field, but left like there, there was no question about that. Right. Nothing along those lines. No, there was a question asked about getting more experienced, which in that answer, Ryan Day kind of referenced the exodus generally, but nothing specific about how that all went down or why or how they feel about it. Yeah, whether they were surprised, whether they felt they learned any lessons, whether they... want to avoid that in the future, whether they now understand that's going to be part of the future.
And, you know, like you're on to Terry Moore and Earl Little and Kyle Parker and Devin McEwen. And of course you are. But on the other hand, like this was, we haven't talked to anybody since the portal. Like it's a sea change, sort of a little bit, not just of the people involved on the roster, but to some degree, how Ohio State is doing business. that I think it would be really interesting to get Ryan Day to delve into, but he's trying to make sure that practice went smoothly and figure out, make sure all the new coaches know how to run the drills. Yeah, I think there will be time for that. So they're this week. They're off next week with spring break. They come back the week after. I would imagine we have at least two other Ryan Day press conferences before the spring game, if not three, like one every week before the spring game.
So I think the time to drill down a little more specifically on some of this stuff will come. But yeah, that was not really part of the questioning on day one. Yeah, so let's talk about what did happen.
