HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Whew the beat threw some fastballs today… I love our beat to be honest. They don’t sunshine pump and if things aren’t going well they’re pretty ruthless.

Ryan must’ve been asked about his job security like 5+ times.
He should be asked. It's one thing to lose to your rival when they run the biggest organized cheating operation in the history of the sport. It's another thing to get pantsed by your rival when they are having a shit year, in your own building. Ryan Day said screw that comparison and just dropped his own pants and handed them to Sherrone Moore!

  • Day said Ohio State brought in some different types of athletes on the defensive line because it may want to change some things up with its front in the future. “I think all these guys can make a difference early on in the process. … We wanted to bring in some guys with different skill sets that may not fit the prototype of the guys we’ve seen in the past.”
  • On Justin Frye: "For all our guys, there's been things that they've done well and things that they haven't done well. ... The No. 1 job for any position coach is their room. ... Are you building enough depth? That's the challenge for all of our guys."
  • Day said Ohio State will consider different options on the offensive line.

Even mentioned moving Donnie back inside which actually might be the way to go because we need to compliment our outside stuff with inside run.

I like how we've gone full retard and are now expecting losses simply because the seemingly never-ending temper tantrum has people pretending like Ohio State is a 3rd tier program all of a sudden.

If a game played by 18 to 22 year olds colors your outlook to the point where you have to be constantly negative and expecting the absolute worst at all times, you need to re-examine your life/lives.

It's clearly time to step back and not be a part of the forum for a while. Peace out everyone.
There is toxic negativity, but I'd argue there's also toxic positivity. Your dismissive nature of criticism of Day as it just being over-reactionary hate is arguing in bad faith. Being a Ryan Day cheerleader who can only sing his praises but not admit his faults doesn't make you a better, virtuous fan or person. There is negativity because we just laid a big fat egg against our most hated rival. I think it's to be expected that people would be upset. But this board also commends the players and coaches when they do well. To paint all people who aren't happy with Saturday and doubt Day is the guy as just being miserable is incredibly disingenuous. Maybe don't take it so personally

Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Pins Rivalry Loss on Himself, Says He Expects to Be Ohio State’s Coach in 2025

On the Michigan loss and moving forward​

  • Reflecting on the Michigan loss: “I feel like the defense played excellent. … From the Oregon game on, the adjustments that were made worked. … We could have done a better job getting the ball to the perimeter. … The offense didn’t work across the board. … I think one of the key trends of the game, you get to the red zone five times and you only get 10 points. … Ultimately that comes back to me as the head coach. … But when you look back on it, there’s definitely ways that we could have gotten the ball to the perimeter. … It’s the coaches job to put the guys in the best position to be successful, and that didn’t happen on Saturday.”
  • Day said Ohio State has started to process the Michigan result and work toward what lies ahead. “As much as this hurts, we’ve got a chance to go play for a national championship. … We have plenty good enough players to go do that. … Frustrated with how the season’s ended, but everything is out in front of us.”
  • On Jayden Fielding after he missed two key field goals in The Game: "We wouldn't put him in the game if we weren't confident in him. ... We'll continue to look at how he does in practice."
  • On what went wrong to put 12 men on the field in the final minute: "It was a miscommunication, shouldn't have happened."
  • Day said he feels confident in his senior leadership heading into the playoffs, and while the loss is still on everyone's mind, there is excitement at the possibility to try and go win a national title. "I think there's a mix of emotions there."
  • Day said he tried to give feedback on both sides of playcalling, but reiterated that the loss is ultimately on him.
  • On whether he had too much commitment to winning the rushing battle against Michigan: "You don't just get stuck on one thing, but when you see one thing that's undefeated over 17 years, you gotta make sure the guys understand that. ... I think we've could have been more creative (in the red zone)."
  • On what makes him feel he's the coach to lead the Buckeyes into the playoffs: "I can't sit here and tell you as I look back on the four years that there's one thing in common. ... Our guys, first off, love Ohio State. They are completely bought in. I think they played hard in that game. ... I think our culture is as strong as it's ever been ... we had a bad thing. ... The mind set is go win the whole thing now. ... Every time you go through some of this, you learn more and more. And that has to be the case here."
  • Day said he expects to be at Ohio State next year.
  • On what he'll address about The Game this offseason: "I felt like we addressed some of those things this offseason. ... You've gotta identify the areas you've gotta upgrade to go reach your goals."
  • Day said there's pressure for the highly-touted 2021 recruiting class who came back to achieve goals to leave with some hardware. "For sure. That's it. These guys, they came back for a reason. When you lose this game it is completely maddening and frustrating and all of the above. The good news is, we still have a goal out in front of us."
  • On whether Ohio State played "tight:" "We came into the game as confident and as loose as we've been since I've been here ... as the game went on, things happened, got a little tighter."
  • On whether he's overthought the Michigan game: "I think you can approach it a million different ways. ... Execution fuels emotion, and it goes back to the coach has gotta put us in a position to be successful,
  • Day said it hasn't entered his mind to take a job elsewhere. "No, this is a wonderful place, and I've got a great job. ... We've got a great way to make this a little bit better and go win the whole thing this year, and then figure out what went wrong and address it."
  • On Justin Frye: "For all our guys, there's been things that they've done well and things that they haven't done well. ... The No. 1 job for any position coach is their room. ... Are you building enough depth? That's the challenge for all of our guys."
  • Day deferred to Tony Petitti and the Big Ten on whether flag plants should be banned.
  • Day still has total confidence in himself as Ohio State's coach, but understands everyone's frustration. "There's no way to defend losing four years in a row. But I know this, we're gonna play as hard as we can in this game. ... We're right there and we've gotta keep swinging at it."
  • Day said Ohio State will consider different options on the offensive line.
Just sayin': They still have a very good team and could win it all. I just hope they show up ready to play in the playoffs.

I've been back and forth this week emotionally. Wanted Day gone on Saturday. Today I feel different.

I really hope that this loss changed him. I keep seeing people say "that's who he is" but unlike any other HC at tOSU in my lifetime, Day doesn't have a body of work pre-OSU. I may be pissing in the wind here, but maybe he can learn from this and come out guns blazing and just wreck mfers from here on. A new era starts now. I want the old Ryan Day to fuck everyone up on our way to a title then roll that shit into next year. Bring back the soulless freight train that could be Ohio State football

Ramzy drops a lot of knowledge in this article. My personal fav: "Day allowed what should have been a track meet to become a hammer fight, where the visitors' only strength was hammer fighting."

Agree. We should all want Day to figure it out in a hurry and win big this year. Retaining him certainly has big advantages. Bigger comebacks have happened. Billy Napier was supposed to have been fired before game 6 this year yet here he is still standing and probably on the verge of getting UF back to talking about conference championships.

Day just needs to open it up yet be patient. There isn’t a defense out there that can shut this explosive offense down if they have to cover sideline to sideline. Dink and dunk until we get to the red zone then call something deceptive. Unstoppable except for tipped balls at the LOs
