You can’t ask that of a large majority of the fire Day crowd. I asked it all off season and don’t believe I actually had anyone give me a legit list of coaches that would be an equal or upgrade.
It's because there isn't anyone out there who's an obvious choice. There's no semi-retired Meyer or Saban coming back from failing in the NFL. Everyone's frustrated and tired of not seeing OSU win big games. Day's done a lot of the things we wanted to see in regards to coordinators and coaching. It's still not good enough. He just has to find a way to get over the hump like Smart did, and part of that is luck. Maybe this is the year the ball bounces OSU's way in the post season.
Yea, my thing with Day is just that he doesn't seem to have that "it factor" in these tough fought close games. There's always something that prevents us from winning.
Firing Day because of a one point loss at Oregon is just stupid. We can't even have an adult conversation about that. If he loses to state Penn and scum, we have a problem.

It's not about 1 loss to Oregon, it's about the continued failing to pull out games like that. But yes I agree if he bounces back, beats Ped State/scUM + beats Oregon in the Big 10 title game then things are looking up.
If he loses to scUM this year he should absolutely be fired on the spot as soon as the clock hits zero. scUM is a bad football team, there's not much else to be said about that.
If he loses to Ped State or another game before the B1G title game (knocking them out of the B1G title game) his seat should be white hot.

With how the landscaped has totally changed winning 10/11 games a year but getting outed early in the playoff is going to be seen as a major disappointment for the upper level teams. You could say it's "insane" to want to fire a guy who wins 10/11 a year, but at some point you have to take the risk if you want to win the grand prize some day.
Everyone agrees about that. The point was we'll likely get another shot at Oregon and can win it (even without Simmons) and could've won a rematch against uga.
I'm with you on not wanting to temp fate but, do you really think a 10-2 OSU team is going to be left out of the CFP ? That second loss would have to be a blow out by someone we have no business losing to. Keep it close in Happy Valley and we will be in. Given that I'll be at the PSU game this year Coach Day better have the troops better prepared than this past weekend.

Is there a ton of CB talent on this team ? I thought so also until this past weekend. If there is a ton why did Day / Walton keep a guy who was so off his game it cost us the game. Does Matthews suck ? Would he have done any worse (If that was actually possible) ?
That's a crazy take, and I'm not saying that you're wrong. But there has to be something to that, if the coaches chose to keep Burke in. Unless they thought that the moment was too big to sub Matthews or CSH in.
As good as Offord is, it'll be interesting to see if he can start at a place like OSU from Day 1. There's still a ton of talent at CB on this team.

You definitely don't want to risk that 2nd regular season loss. If they got to Indy without losing again and lost there I'd say we are surely in. a 2nd regular season loss is going to leave you sweating depending on other results throughout the year.
