Silver Bullets Podcast: New coaches, Buckeyes headed for the NFL Combine, and more

We’re back for our February check-in after a few weeks to bask in the glow of Ohio State’s national championship season. But the news rarely sleeps when it comes to Buckeye football, so we’re back to get caught up on what’s going on. We start with our discussion of a new position in the government for former OSU coach Jim Tressel. “The Senator” is just a Lt. Governor (for now, at least), and it’s good to see the old ball coach finding productive things to do with his time. After Tressel talk, we dive into the changes on Ryan Day’s coaching staff since our last show. Did the Buckeyes make the best hires they could? We won’t know until we see how things shake out, but they were interesting additions. Some of the additions were merely promotions, and we’re interested to see how comfortable Day really is when it comes to Brian Hartline calling plays. Next up, we chatted about spring football starting up and the fact that changes are coming to the spring game...sorry, Spring Showcase. There’s a change right there! We follow that up sith some discussion about a potential expansion of automatic bids for the Big Ten and SEC. That right there is a slippery slope. Finally, we look at the former Buckeyes headed to the NFL Combine and which ones might miss particular drills or opt to showcase their talents at Ohio State’s Pro Day. There sure are a lot of Buckeyes heading to the Combine, so it’s a great year to watch it. We also touched on some former OSU assistant coaches and where their new jobs are, as well as a new number for a returning defensive back. We are in our monthly offseason schedule, but we could have more than one show a month depending on how much news there is. We will return to our weekly schedule in August, as camp opens and we get you ready for the 2025 Ohio State football season.
