The Buckeyes

I wonder if Ohio st. brass as well as the fans still want Ryan Day's head after their performance in the CFP? I know beating your bitter rival is huge, but, give me the college football title any Day.

There are a faction of fans who'd rather beat Michigan than win a NC. Its a small, but vocal minority. Ryan Day's job is absolutely safe.

I honestly think that the answer is yes. I think Buckeye fans believe that with a staff of Chip Kelly calling the offense and Jim Knowles calling the defense (two excellent--and very highly paid--coordinators), and a $20 million payroll, another coach could win the national championship without losing to Michigan.

Of course they don’t want Ryan Day’s head any longer but it definitely took him doing well in the CFP to save his job. Otherwise, he was on thin ice.

They spend a ton of money in Columbus so do understand the pressure on him. That said, the hyperfocus on losing to Michigan, to me, is dumb. He has proven he is a good coach and national titles, which they will likely be in the race for each year, should be the focus. Anyway, they might be a little down next year after losing some really good seniors, so Day could be in trouble again if he blows the Michigan game.

I live in Ohio. Some care about losing to Michigan but most are smart enough not to get rid of the head coach who wins championships.
