Summary

This Thursday Buckeye Talk is brought to you by an important question in discussing which head coach has been better between Ohio State's Ryan Day and USC's Lincoln Riley. One of our loyal text subscribers has asked Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis to discuss the two while having a deep discussion about what is more important to a resume: A Heisman Trophy winner or a College Football Playoff win: The discussion kicks off with the trio deciding which coach they feel has been better; The topic shifts to breaking down what either Kyle McCord winning a Heisman or Day getting his second CFP win would do for Day's resume; Finally, they decide which holds more weight for Day who has made it clear that OSU's identity under him is being a program that competes for championships while producing elite quarterbacks.

Hey, hey, where you been? But God talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:30.0

Welcome back to Bucket Talks. Stephen means Nathan Baird and Drew Gillis. It's big pod Thursday,

0:38.0

which means we to really just take a bigger topic and expound on it in a big way. And this is

0:42.0

the leftover question from a rapid part we did earlier in the year that I thought was just

0:46.0

a very interesting take that a texture had a son of a text 614330315. If you want to have

0:52.0

interesting questions that we'll use on this pod and for other things that we repurpose. Like, hey,

0:56.0

say Nathan's a Andrew that we do on site 614330335315. And I just thought there was a bigger picture

1:02.0

question to what he was asking outside of what he was just asking. So from Scott and the 615.

1:08.0

I think every coach ranking I see Lincoln Riley is ahead of Ryan Day. Well, of course I disagree. And I'm

1:14.0

absolutely biased. I assume that Riley's multiple Heisman winners are what put him ahead. My question is

1:20.0

what would do more to put their head a Heisman winner or another playoff. And I don't want this to just be a

1:26.0

Lincoln Riley discussion. The reason why he's bringing him Lincoln Riley offices because there are

producing first round quarterbacks, you think of Lincoln Riley and you think of Ryan Day first.

1:37.5

But the idea of here's their resumes. Let's start here. Ryan Day took over in 2019.

1:43.4

It's 49 and 6. He's 32 and 2 against big 10 opponents, including two big 10 championships.

1:50.1

His bowl record is 2 and 3. He's got three college football playoff appearances. One in three

1:55.2

in college football playoff games that includes the one win over Clemson in 2019 and then three losses,

2:00.1

a loss to Clemson, a loss to Georgia and a loss to Alabama and that's a championship game.

2:03.9

He said four Heisman trophy finishes seasons just since he's gotten to Ohio State in general.

2:09.8

That's the Wayne Haskins in 2018 that's just in fields in 2019. That's CJ Stroud in 21 and then

2:15.4

CJ Stroud to get in 2022. All three of them have gone on to be first round draft picks.
