Oh well.
3 losses in a row to them. McCord is not that good and the D had some tough moments. Gut punch again. Day is something like 1-6 against the Top 5. Hope things change. I don't want another Cooper era.

HOPE. I have plenty of faith hope and love it’s just not in college football teams or coaches. Talent ability to motivate and lead Trump hope they get better. Last year I was told to Hope in Day and Knowles .Got another L out of that hope.

I’m not and I’m on record that my opinion will change if Day doesn’t turn it around next year. I consider it a must win.
Shawn Springs losing his footing feels like yesterday. Along with all of the other losses those god-tier teams suffered.
I just don’t want to turn into one of the other teams who couldn’t be anything other than top 5 - until they realized how hard it is to stay there.

I'm pretty much in the Jax camp on Day at this point. Not that I want him fired, I just don't care. If the aTm rumors are actually true, shrug. If he want's to move on to the NFL, also shrug. I think he's more of an x's and o's guy who is probably better suited as and OC. His teams seem to play technical, but never with any fire. I think he'll beat the gutted skeleton of tCun over the next few years and it won't fucking matter because they're a gutted skeleton. Fun for us, sort of. But it won't be the same as the opportunity here today.
As far as who would replace him. Don't care about that either. I watch football for fun. It's entertainment. Day's teams are rather boring most of the time and when it all amounts to nothing, it's not very fun at all. It's been a while, but I think the 2011 year was more fun than this. That 2011 Wisconsin game was fun. This years Notre Game was fun for about 15 seconds. Maybe with a new hire the buckeyes take a step back. Who knows. I don't see any evidence anything is moving forward at this point. Could be fun being a plucky miracle team 10th seed in the new playoff. At this point there's no risk of tOSU sniffing a natty any time soon, and certainly starting any sort of dynasty like has happened at Bama and Georgia.

Urban Meyer's legacy at Ohio State: 7-0 vs scUM; beat #1 Alabama; won the 2014 national championship. In retrospect, nobody cares that he got blown out by Purdue or Iowa in some meaningless midseason game.
Ryan Day's legacy at Ohio State: 1-3 vs scUM; blew double-digit leads to Clemson in the 2019 playoffs and to Georgia in the 2022 playoffs; blow out loss to #1 Alabama.
You could say that Ryan Day's legacy might look a whole lot different if scUM doesn't duck him in 2020 and doesn't cheat in 2021 and 2022; and maybe his legacy actually will look a whole lot different after the NCAA gets done hammering scUM (wins vacated or forfeited).
And you could also say that Ryan Day's legacy might look a whole lot different if the replay officials don't "screw" him on calls against Clemson in 2019, and Georgia in 2022, and scUM in 2023. Maybe so, but I would respond that Day had the ball with plenty of time to score at the end of each of those games and his teams couldn't get the job done – interception, missed field goal, interception. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern, it's who you are.
Don't get me wrong – I'm not in favor of firing Ryan Day, at least not yet. I'm hoping that he will eventually become Kirby Smart, who couldn't win a big game to save his life for his first five years at Georgia and now is looking to become the first coach in the Poll Era of college football to threepeat as national champions. Day is a great recruiter, he runs a clean program, he prepares players for the NFL (his actual real job), he doesn't inexplicably lose games to Big Ten bottom dwellers, and he doesn't embarrass himself or his program (unlike his peers Tressel, Meyer, and Harbaugh). That's a lot of positives, many more than John Cooper can boast.
If I can level any criticism of Ryan Day it would be this – that he's more like an NFL coach than a college coach. In other words, he favors talent and strategy and precision over emotion and tactics and risk. But sometimes you gotta say: "What the fuck, make your move." Your turn, Ryan.
