He shouldn't even get too much of a pat on the back for beating scUM this year (if he does), they are that awful.

Wait wait wait. Beating TCUN is one of the major gripes the anti Day crowd has but now you’re telling me when he wins this year it doesn’t matter!?!? Moving the goal posts to make your point….

You know it’s worse when no one can give a name of a candidate that would be a better replacement.

And a lot of the reasons given are tied to not winning big games. I get that. Really, I do.

But there’s some pretty good examples, I’m sure we can all cite, of coaches who recently won a bunch of games and did so in ways that I don’t think that we want for our program / alma mater.

So, there’s the obvious at tcun.

Would you want Smart up here? Not exactly a tight ship.

DeBour? Thanks… no.

Sark? Hell, I’d drink tequila with him… but not sure I want him as the HC.

Lane? Is he still married? If not, hide your wife, hide your kids.

Others? Serous question… I’m not as well versed at the HC options that may / may not exist.

I think that we’ve already established that tOSU should not be a place where a HC cuts his teeth, no? So, in a lot of ways, this needs to be a name we all know.

All I know is that I’ll take a program that puts guys in the league, stays out of trouble, has a solid APR, generates a ton of $$ for the athletic department, is a perpetual top-5 program at the precipice every year… and a NC every decade over a program that wins 2 NCs a decade and has Issues off the field, doesn’t do anything for the kids educations, etc.

It’s a real dilemma. That said, I think we all know that tOSU admin is considering the holistic position of HC over just winning. Only care about winning and we become what we saw at tcun for the last three years. None of us want that.

I won’t take my flags down because we lost a game here or there. I will stop hanging flags if we went dirty to win.

We're not getting rid of Day mid-season. His gig depends on what he does against psu, scum, mighty ducks II, and how we do in the playoff. Beat the Joepas, Vulverines, and ducks and we're back to even. Run the table in the playoff and he's Kirby Smart. If he doesn't, it's over. Either way, it's a little early for the torches and pitchforks.

This is how I see it as well.

This is such a tired argument. Dan Lanning is a first time head coach at an elite program who started after Day and he coached circles around him on Saturday. A lot of it just comes down to how you are wired.

Ryan Day has one timeout remaining.

He suddenly realizes that 5 minutes ago he could have gone for a two point conversion after the Buckeyes most recent touchdown. If they would have made it they would have another shot at victory in overtime. Even if they missed, they would be in the same exact predicament anyways. A literal zero risk move.

"Why didn't I go for two?" Day growls to himself between clenched teeth. "I'm such an idiot!"

A jarring yet familiar noise snaps him out of his stupor. He wipes his eyes. It's the referee's whistle. His motions indicates that Oregon has just acquired a penalty. This may just be the break the Buckeyes needed...

He looks to the Oregon sideline and instead of the site of an angry coach, Dan Lanning stifles, trying to contain his laughter. "Something isn't right." Day says to no-one in particular "He doesn't even care about the five yards..."

Day's eyes dart to the game clock. Panic begins to overtake Ohio State's 10 Million Dollar Man. "Wait...how does this work? How does the game clock work?"

Ryan Day has one timeout remaining.

Ryan Day isn't a head coach at heart. He isn't an offensive coordinator at heart. He is still a QB coach at heart. He will kill to get 5 star QBs to throw the ball and get 5 star WRs to catch the ball and everything else seems to be whatever.

So our QB room full of 4 star and 5 stars, an abundance of riches all but maybe one or two head coaches in the country would kill for but we are in such a dire situation at the position that we had to go to the portal to get a starter? Why aren't any of the highly rated guys we already have developing? I understand the Ewers situation, but I think everyone on Earth knew he was going to Texas as soon as he could get NIL there.b
