Welcome back to the Bill & Doug Show. Doug Lamouris and Bill Landis after practice four for the Ohio State Buckeyes of spring football. We were there. We didn't get to watch on Thursday, but we get to talk to people. We talked to Matt Patricia, the defensive coordinator. We talked to linebacker Garrett Stover. We talked to cornerback Jermaine Matthews. We talked to new transfer defensive tackle James Smith. I would like to announce a retirement. It is not my retirement. It is not Bill Rabinowitz's retirement. It is not Tim May's retirement, as much as some people may want those things. But it is the retirement of a line of questioning, and we can talk about it later. I'm done.
What insights did Matt Patricia share about Ohio State's defense?
I did what I needed to do. It served its purpose, and now we will move forward. We can start with that, Landis, or we can talk about other things because I was getting nervous that I wasn't even going to get my question in in its final moments to Matt Patricia, but I did. I interrupted him by accident in the middle of an answer to make sure I got it in because everybody was like, Matty P, Matty P. There's a lot of urgency when you're talking to Matty P these days. People have things to say, things they want to ask Matty P.
So we're a little FaceTime with Matty P. He's very rich. He's very rich. It's good to know rich people.
So it was, I mean, like, you know, Matt Patricia did a great job last year as the Ohio State defensive coordinator, indisputably. But it was like, Matt, why did you stay here? And he's like, man, just don't want to move the family. And I wanted to just be like, What about the $1.5 million raise? $1.25 million raise. If you just love it here, then just love it. Love it for the same amount of money you made last year. It's fine. But can't we live in the world about it a little bit? I'm sure it's true. I think it is true. I think it is true. But also, you're making $700,000 more than any defensive coordinator in America. And if you just love the malls, maybe you'd stay for three, Bill, not 3.75. So it's fine.
There's nothing wrong with it. But we have to be a little realistic about it, don't we? Because he did say he had other offers. He has stuff out there.
Yeah. I mean, you won't find the Matty P loves Columbus. Boy, wasn't he a swell guy to stick around for his love of Columbus story on Bill and Doug's platforms.
Find it elsewhere.
Which is fine. He did a good job. I'm not saying he was undeserving of the raise. He was. He did an excellent job. If I'm ever doing a press conference after I get a $1.25 million raise, guess what I'm talking about? The cash.
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah.
I bought a boat. Yeah. There's a lot of construction in Columbus, but I could buy a boat. So that's why I stayed. So let's talk ball. Some interesting stuff about like guys in guys out with the defense. I thought you had an interesting question about Orville Reese and his versatility last year. And is there somebody like that yet on this defense? And kind of like, then if not, then what, what did you think of Matt Patricia's answer to your question?
I mean, he kind of didn't... I guess he answered it. There's probably some truth in what he said. I am a person who, after the fourth spring practice, would like all of the schematic and personnel answers now, please.
How are new players being integrated into defensive packages?
And I get that that's kind of what spring's not about, or at least not really what early spring is about. So... he said basically like we don't know yet um i'm sure in the back of his mind he has an idea but he doesn't want to talk about that just yet because they're trying to whatever work on hand placement and feet and all that stuff. And they haven't even really begun tackling it. So they just have had pads on for, for two days now. So there, there wasn't an answer. I think like when, when I asked that question that the two guys I had in my mind were Quay Russo and Christian Allegro, two transfers, I think he could probably include Riley Pettijohn and TJ Alford, two returning sophomores in that conversation.
Yeah. And my assumption at the moment is that they probably don't have that.
