Summary

On this Tuesday episode of Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means offer a shorter version of their typical rapid fire pod, taking nine questions from text subscribers over the course of an hour. And they are all directly about Ohio State football. No conference realignment talk for the moment. How long will Jim Knowles remain Ohio State's defensive coordinator? How important is run-pass balance to the offense? What are the expectations for Oklahoma State transfer Tanner McCalister? What veteran defender could have a big 2022 season? Should Ohio State have to worry about a flip from 2024 QB commit Dylan Raiola? And more. Thanks for listening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey, hey, where you been, look I talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:25.0

Welcome back to Look I Talk.

0:27.0

It's Douglas Murray, Stephen Meredith, Stephen Means, and we're doing a, I don't

0:30.4

always say many rapid fire. This would be like a normal rapid fire for most podcasts.

0:34.0

Usually when we do rapid fire, I try to grab 20 questions. This time I grab nine. So it'll

0:39.6

be more like an hour, a little less than an hour, better than two hours. But we have

0:43.6

a lot of stuff to get to. When we originally thought about this, we thought, hey, we'll

0:46.9

cover some football stuff and maybe we'll, you know, get some stray realignment

0:52.7

questions that people had. There's just still stuff happening. And I, I think maybe

0:57.7

people need a break. So we're not doing realignment. This is a high estate football questions.

As we record this at 12 30 on Tuesday noon, their reports coming out that the big 12 might

1:07.8

be trying to fix pack 12. I mean, there's just a lot of stuff moving around. So we're

1:13.4

1:28.2

how long will he stay at Ohio State? Is this a guy that once a head coaching job or does

1:33.2

you want to retire as a potentially championship winning defensive coordinator at Ohio State?

1:38.0

Nathan, what's your view on this? I think this is maybe his last job just from the

1:43.8

read that I have so far. He was a head coach at one point at his alma mater at Cornell.

1:49.8

It wasn't a especially successful stint. And he's now at the top of the defensive coordinator

1:59.4
