So ESPN has their Allstate Playoff Predictor. https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/s...e-football-allstate-playoff-bracket-predictor

According to these simulations, if OSU wins out and doesn't make the Bigten Championship game, they have a 93% chance to make the playoffs. I don't know how this is possible, but I would use it in the locker room if I'm Day. I don't think this team has a playoff run in them, but maybe this motivation could reengage them.

I‘d say I’m amazed at the vitriol for Day but I’m not. We have one of the worst fan(atic) fan bases in all of sports. I don’t know how half of Buckeye fandom survives on the daily. Most wanted him fired and he delivered a national championship. Less than two years later and the worst of the worst are back at it. I wish I could heave ho the lot and send them to Michigan fandom. Oh well. We root for the same team, but we are most certainly not the same. I pray for peace and happiness for those distraught souls In our radical fringe. Oh well. Go Bucks!

Did you watch any of the Tuesday presser? He literally laughed at the idea of playing any young guys and repeated, "We're not gonna start playing young guys."

THIS DUDE HAS GOT TO GO.

This stuff cracks me up. Woody won three national championships here and still got run out of town for having three sub-10 win seasons in a row. I do not feel one iota of guilt over how 50+ years of high standards have been maintained at this program

Woody got fired because he wasn't taking his medicine and PUNCHED AN OPPOSING PLAYER. Yes, our fans are the textbook definition of lunatics, but let's not lie about what actually happened.

Would you hire someone with this resume:

2 conference championships.
1 national championship
85% winning percentage
First coach from his school to win conference coach of the year in 40 years.
7 heisman finalists
20 first round draft picks

Not saying the guy doesn’t have his problems, as we all do. But I have to bet most other programs would be happy to have our problems.

Your mystery coach had a 93% winning percentage after The Game last year. Now he's below Urban (90.2%) and he's headed towards Tressel (82%). Next stop?

I'm not going to quietly let the fanbase hang 2-4 on Ryan Day just because now they want him fired.

They. Fucking. Cheated.

They weren't cheating in 2024⁷

Are we really doing this? I hate to rain on the parade of most of the fan base, but college football has been completely flipped on its head. I think the days of teams going undefeated or losing one game are over. Second string guys just aren’t sticking around to bide their time. They are transferring to a lesser program and playing right away. So, when a first string guy gets hurt, he’s being replaced by a third string caliber player. There is little depth and key injuries can sink a season in this modern world of college football.

When Sayin went down, so went to season, unfortunately. We can get into why the backups weren’t properly developed, etc., but that’s just the reality of where we stand as a fanbase. We’re used to “next man up” and that player being a high quality option. That isn’t the case here this year at QB.

Everything being said, I’m fully on board with cleaning house of some of the underperforming assistant coaches. Hell, I wouldn’t be mad if Arthur Smith was shown the door as well.

Day has earned the right to fix this situation and I think the fans owe it to him to be open minded and see how this season shakes out. We can bitch and moan all we want, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that he has run a quality program that 99% of the others wish that they could be.

Fuck this shit. losing Sayin didn't magically make the defense SUCK ASS. they did that all on their own. Losing Sayin didn't magically make the coaches FORGET TO TARGET THE BEST PLAYER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. The coaches did that all on their own. We just got fucking boat raced by a team that lost their starting QB for the season and had their starting RB out for injury. Why didn't losing their QB and RB make Oregon's defense suck?

Not sure what to believe at this point

But I do wonder if Day, apart from having been a great OC, will be remembered as Ohio State’s Larry Coker

I think that is a little harsh unless we fall off a cliff. Coker was immediately a national title winner if I remember then they were irrelevant after we ended them and fired a year or two later. Day has had much more sustained success than Coker. Stoops/Mack Brown might be the right comps for Day

Coker was a terrible tactical coach and couldn’t keep up anywhere near the same level of talent acquisition as his predecessor so I don’t think either of those really fit Day. At least not as dramatically as it did with Coker.

I keep using the Earle and Coop mash up as the comp I think fits Day. He took over a machine, like Earle, but in the end couldn’t sustain the same overall success. Like Cooper he just has a big game problem.

Big games reveal the fragility of his set up. Great when nothing goes wrong, can take a little bit of adversity to the plan but if/when things get off track you get the catastrophic loss.

Also like Coop (not Earle) in his demeanor. A lot more Frank the Tank “no one freak out” than Cool Hand Luke in his make up. I question his overall leadership (not his empathy and kindness). You have to have a certain firmness in you to be a true leader of men and I think he’s more of the passive aggressive wig out type that doesn’t command a ton of respect. Just pure speculation on my part.

I get Mark Richt vibes from Day. Irrespective of the fact that Richt didn't win an NC, I think that's where we're headed if not already there. To extend the analogy, UGA started really winning when they brought back a former defensive player who'd successfully coached at a comparable level school...
