It's good to be The King. Unless an NFL job comes calling (and it very well may), we have zero fucking worries about Day leaving for another college job. The only one who played that game successfully here was Cooper with LSU, and Geiger was a complete assclown to have not let him walk his shit down to the Bayou. They'd have fed his dumb ass to the gators.

I think the NFL has called but I'm not sure he's interested. He can basically write his own contract here at OSU and the only one who could do that in the NFL is Belichick. With a young family, i think (maybe hope) he values the stability at OSU more than a few extra bucks.

I also get the sense that he’s starting to lean into understanding and having the ability to motivate college kids which… well… see UFM. We know how those skills aren’t necessarily transferable. He can get away with things at the college level that would never fly in the NFL… get away with may be strong, but not far off. Those things make his job much easier at the college level.

The one thing that I’ve heard him say a few times that always strikes me when he says it is, “Here at tOSU, you’re expected to win and there’s not a lot of tolerance when you don’t” (paraphrase). While I think we all agree, as would Ryan, tOSU is a destination job and it wouldn’t make sense to leave for other pastures — few if any are greener. I think that we all agree that there’s a price for living in that kind of a pressure cooker.

I don’t doubt that kind of pressure exists in the NFL, but they seem to be far more tolerant of a couple of Ls in a year than we, as tOSU fans, would be.

While literally true, I guess that's a matter of perspective. Day has more control of his situation than he likely would in the NFL where, e.g. there is an effort to maintain talent parity.

A stat citation of unknown veracity but seems plausible:

https://guidingmetrics.com/blog/nfl-coaching-changes-metric/
Being a head coach in professional sports is associated with extreme pressure from fans and ownership. Typically, a coach has a maximum of two or three years to show significant improvement in order to keep their job. No sport reflects this burden more than football, where coach turnover is rampant among mediocre teams. Over the past decade, only three coaches in the NFL have kept their job for a 10-year time period. The average tenure for an NFL coach is approximately just 3.2 years.

Still, 65 yards on 9 carries works out to more than 7 ypc but after going down 21 points in the first quarter Sparty couldn't afford to feed him. Shame, the guy is a great RB and he showed it in a couple of flashes on Saturday.
