The loss sucks but what makes it sting way more than the other losses is the way the game was coached.. it wasn't like a bad play call here or there it was the entire game plan and the refusal to make even 1 adjustment. We (osu) just was on a 20 yr run for the ages in that game so it was bound to switch up, but the way that game was coached was inexcusable,especially after already losing 3 in a row. Day has to at least get to the national championship game if not win it all to even sniff acceptance from this fan base

[@OSUBucks77]

I'd even go as far to say that it's more like a parlay than just being forgiven/accepted if he manages to win the game, the parlay would be he would have to do that and beat TTUN next year before we fully turn back in good standings with him.

[@GBU61]

Why did Chip Kelly continue to run into the teeth of their defense when it was clearly not working was the thing I could not understand. Michigan was gifted 10 points plus the two missed FG, and the offense could still not get the ball into the end zone more than once. I blame Kelly mostly, but Day for allowing it to continue the entire game. At this point I doubt Ryan Day will ever get the full support of the fan base unless he wins national titles and that still may not be enough. Losing 4 straight to his rival is not good enough

[@nathanyow3028]

When it comes to the thought exercise of choosing between a national title or beating your rival, I think it really depends on how big your program is. Of course Ohio State fans will say that it’s more important to beat your rival because they know that 8 out of the next 10 years they will likely be in the national title conversation. I’m an Ole Miss fan and these past few years is the first time we’ve sorta been in that conversation since the 60’s. Ole Miss gets the chance to beat their rival every year while we hardly ever get the chance to try and win the national championship.

The thing is we are the dumbest fanbase in America . Me being born in Columbus and raised and an Ohio State Alum. “The Game “ was “The Game “ because it prevented you from a rose bowl, big ten title and a national championship. That’s not the case anymore ! These fans don’t get that, just because you’re a big brand does NOT guarantee you success ask Nebraska & USC that . We are in the mist of NIL and transfer portal. Unlike the old days you don’t need Ohio State to be successful .

[@charliecmo]

You have 10 wins built in every year, so the record isn't as impressive as it seems. Every loss Ohio State had was to either a top-5 team and/or Michigan. Most of the losses were against Michigan. That can't happen for starters. Secondly, it proves that Ryan Day can't win on the big stage either. Thirdly, his style and his philosophy doesn't work when it comes to winning championships, because he puts ZERO focus on building a team from the inside out. For example, the #1 guy who should have been the first guy terminated last year was Offensive Line Coach Justin Frye. The $20 million NIL, the the massive haul in the portal is all for nothing if you don't get rid of the one guy whose unit can hold you back. That is the offensive line. Did it matter that we had the 2 best RBs in the country? NO! Did it matter we had the best WRs in the country? No. Well, that brings me to me next point which is coaching, because he refused to use his weapons to his advantage. So he's also guilty of coaching malpractice. So the bottom line is, no! He's not worthy of the job if he craps the bed on Saturday. As far as I'm concerned the next 4 games are like "Squid Games." He has to win the massive prize to stay alive. Sorry, but he's had the best roster in the country, and 2 out of the 3 goals have come and gone. If he loses he needs to go, period!

[@tomm8025]

What Josh is missing, and why Ryan Day should be fired if Ohio State doesn't WIN IT ALL this year....is that MOST good coaches could have a high win percentage coaching all the talent that Ohio State has year in and year out. Most coaches could take the teams and beat up on the regular season opponents. Ryan Day not only can't beat Michigan, but he can't beat the better teams PERIOD! So either he opens up that playbook and GOES FOR IT, or he plays his conservative approach against very good teams and watches them beat his team because they are going for it! If Ryan Day is a coach that deserves to stay at Ohio State, then beating four tough opponents on the way to a championship, is the way to show it. Buckeyes will likely have to beat Tennessee, then undefeated Oregon, then likely Texas and then Goergia in the title game. If he can do that then he will show that he can coach ALL that talent he has into beating the better teams in college football. Anything less than a National Title....he should be shown the door. Most coaches could get this team to 10-2.

[@Will-fk2dk]

I saw several OSU fans talking about the future of Head Coach Ryan Day directly after the loss to Michigan. For clarification, I am a life long Notre Dame fan. I don't hate OSU, and I cheer for them against Michigan... because I LOATHE Michigan. Ok, that being said, I got into a couple of the conversations with Buckeye fans who were, understandably, freaking the F out immediately after that game. I simply made the point that there were maybe, MAYBE 5 teams in the entire Country that had a similar level of talent as OSU. It's a Rivalry Game. Weird things happen in Rivalry Games, and they should know that because the Buckeyes have ruined the Wolverines Season more than a few times when THEY (OSU) were in Michigan's position. It just happens in those games. What do we always hear? "Throw out the Records, because in these games, Rivalry Games, records do not matter." Anyway, eventually the discussion amongst OSU fans turned to Ryan Day... And it was NOT pretty. I mean, 98% of College Football fans would take the record the Buckeys have had since Day took over and they wouldn't look back! Ohio State is a juggernaut. Have been for the better part of TWO DECADES. However, that doesn't matter to a fan base that just lost to their most hated Rival, in what could possibly be THE RIVALRY in all of College Football, for the 4th time in a row. I didn't even try to convince them to remain calm, give it a few days, and try to remember that it is Ohio State and NOT Michigan who will be taking part in the Historic, First Ever 12-Team College Football Playoff. Didn't matter. They wanted him GONE! YESTERDAY! Now, I admit, I got a little worried when one of the names that popped up was none other than Notre Dame's beloved Head Coach (and Ohio State Alum and former Linebacker!), Marcus Freeman. My fear has been alleviated a bit after ND signed Freeman to a 4 year extension on top of the 2 years he has left, but for about 2 weeks... I was worried. And then I thought about it... Who would replace Day? If a Coach who had a record of 66-10 and multiple trips to the Playoffs isn't good enough, then who is? I know... believe me I know. I know about the record against Top 5 teams. (3-6 by the way) So? He and his staff still recruit Top 3 or 4 Classes EVERY YEAR. And once in a while, they get the Number 1 Class in the Country. They have the Talent. Day is a good coach. And soon, he may even be great... But that is where I realized that I was missing the point. See, there are only 4 or 5 Schools who are playing at OSU's level. And that is EVER YEAR. Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oregon (recently), sometimes LSU (hahaha! Brian Kelly!), sometimes one of the 3 Florida teams will pop up for a decent run. But that's the point... For Ohio State and their fans, the ONLY THINGS that matter are Winning the National Championship... And -beating- DESTROYING Michigan. I get that now. Sorry this is so long. I hope someday Notre Dame can win a National Championship again. Until then I will continue to cheer for the Big 10 (other than Michigan) to win. Good Luck, Buckeyes fans, in the Playoffs! It would be cool to see Notre Dame and Ohio State in the Championship Game.

This is coming from a Buckeye, we’ve done less with more than most programs. It stings to be called the pre season champs but the fact of the matter is the games that make an impact he doesn’t win.

[@oreopuppydawg1564]

This is what will happen, they will rename Neyland North to The House of Sampson, Ryan Day fired and stadium used for a Tennessee fan camp ground for when we play up north!

[@kevinb285]

In order to really de-value the rivalry, Ryan Day has to win at least one big ten and national title without beating Michigan. But there’s generally a direct correlation between winning that game and winning other big games, such as a national title game. Considering Nick Saban beat Auburn every year he won a national title at Alabama except for one, I’m guessing Ryan Day doesn’t do it one time. Ohio State knows the importance of the Michigan game, they are just trying to cope with the fact they can’t beat Michigan at the moment.

[@Android6Thousand]

@@kevinb285 they can if they get rid of that trash coach.. the last 25 years we’ve lost to them maybe 6 times with 4 of those losses coming in the last 4 years thats not a coincidence😒

[@richboii6597]

I think one big problem for rivalries is the new playoff. Before the 4-12 team playoff you couldn’t really compete for a national title without beating your rival.

[@tspencee]

I can assure you nobody around here is devaluing that game and know absolutely zero fellow fans who think that’s what anyone should do or is doing

[@No1Important-r6z]

As a Big Ten Fan, I can't see Ohio State winning over Tennessee even at home.

[@chazc933]

As a lifelong Buckeye's fan, I am not confident for this game.

[@Android6Thousand]

They just lost to a 6-5 team with less talent at home… nobodys feeling good about them against an even better team in COLDER weather.. They’re liable to get boo’d at home if they dont find a way to show up tho… Best Fanbase in the Land if nobody holds them accountable WE WILL

[@GBU61]

Indifference is probably the best way to describe the fan base right now. I understand 3-O line starters are gone, but the lack of accountability to have replacements ready is clearly showing. An off season change at that coaching position plus an emphasis on adding linemen next year is the minimum required or next year will probably have his last. You can not keep losing to that team and keep your job at Ohio State.

[@chrischapman5407]

As an ohio-born buckeye who has had to live the last 11 years in Michigan, few understand the level of ridicule the last four losses have brought to me in my personal circles. That being said, I’ll tell you the take no one is willing to give. I believe that these issues are actually caused BY BUCKEYE NATION! I have never witnessed my fan base become so critical and demanding, and I grew up in the ‘90s and remember the Cooper days well. To me, I see the way our coaches coach and our players play in the game vs *ichigan and it has the same vibe as the high school player who is just trying to make Dad proud rather than trying to play their best. To hear Ross and Ryan Day talk about a different mental approach and referencing the army navy game sounds like the PERFECT approach and in no way feels like a devaluing of The Game. Even Urban talked about approaching this game with “total respect” and that you show that respect with the amount of preparation you have for that game. Last comment too… if you fire Ryan Day, that would be more like FSU firing Jimbo than anything else and we see what that got FSU. Firing Day at this point won’t solve our fan base issue…

[@brianclemons5375]

It was 1990 in coopers 3rd year, when OSU lost back to back at home. Ryan Day is gonna call the offense from 3rd base to make sure this does not happen again

[@calebleeson5662]

I can see a world where we get pushed over the top and some major changes happen and setbacks. I could also see a world where we go all the way to the natty I just don’t know what the exact mindset of the team is

[@Oldwaldo-f7o]

You referenced the rhetorical about Lincoln Riley: "How much more patience do we need to have?" and that's where I'm at on Day. Maybe you don't think we're off the cliff yet, Josh, and that's fair. But if you don't think we're rocketing towards the edge, then I have to ask what you've seen from Day that you haven't seen from Riley.

[@SerbianSniper]

If things are tight....watch Day take over the play calling again from Chip and screw it all up.......

You are correct Josh. I’m a Michigan fan. We had a terrible year but we beat Ohio State! Overall,I’m a happy fan. Go Blue!

[@jondukes7025]

Rivalries have diminished greatly with players skipping from team to team every season. Half your team didn’t experience last year’s loss. They didn’t live with it for 12 months. College football as we knew it is dead. Now we must learn to enjoy this new game or move on.

[@ReggieRay88]

Josh, I'm a traditionalist like yourself. I'm a buckeye fan that lives deep in Michigan territory. All my friends are michigan fans. This game was everything to me. I host a huge game day party at my house every year. I'll always want to win this game, but I'm going to have to disagree. It might not be this year or next but in 3-5 years this will be a nice to win game. I was crushed losing to UM this year but they're sitting at home while ohio state is about to host a SEC school I'm the shoe. Again, I didn't want it this way but for you to say we should treat everything the same, look around man. It used to mean a lot to go 10-2 and play in a nice bowl game. Now kids opt out. The game has changed. The sport has changed. It sucks but it is what it is.

[@sheneedsme]

Ummm Michigan is not sitting at home and they are also playing an SEC powerhouse as good as Tennessee. A little school called Alabama and that game may get more viewers than some of the playoff games.

[@chadpaulsen2953]

Nebraska/Iowa is becoming the same way. Nebraska fans HATE losing to Iowa. I get how both sides of this Michigan/OSU thing feel. Rivalries make the season worth it more than anything else.

[@lightningsports2617]

One thing I don’t like about the 12 team playoff is that rivalry results don’t matter as much. Yes, Ryan Day’s job is on the line but if it was a 4 team playoff he would’ve already been fired because OSU would have lost to Michigan and then never made the CFP. A fun (but admittedly chaotic) way to fix this is to have a rivalry clause in the playoff. The clause would say that if a team selected for the playoff had lost to their rivalry week opponent then should that team go on to win the playoff, they actually have to play another game. That game would be a rematch against their rival and the winner would be declared the national champion. Yes this would be unfair and chaotic but think of the crazy storylines you could get from an osu vs Michigan rematch where now both teams have a shot at claiming a natty even though Michigan is 7-5. I admit this is ridiculous and unfair but it would be really fun.

[@TxLonghornsFan]

As a Texas fan, I have a similar take. Yes, I want to see my team competing for championships both conference and national every year but I recognize a lot of things have to happen for that to happen including things out of our control. So if championships aren’t in the cards in a given year, we have to at least win 10 or more games and beat our rivals (Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Arkansas) to consider it a successful season that we can build on for the future. Going 3-0 this year against these teams especially all away from DKR was especially sweet.

[@OSUKNOWIT]

The O-Line patchwork is a problem. Couldn’t run the ball since psu game. Allowing too much penetration etc. Going against the best D-Line in Tennessee. I’m VERY concerned to say the least.

[@MrG2022-o2t]

[@georgebernard5783]

On a similar note, Clemson winning the natty would be nowhere near enough to erase the SCAR of losing to South Carolina. They can try to downplay it and gloat about who made the playoff but that’s not what college football was built on. Rivalries are.

[@buckeye4ever419]

Josh, as an tOSU alumni, I HATE TTUN but I 100% LOVE A NATTY MORE! My Buckeye room doesn't have memorabilia of TTUN wins it has 2002 and 2014 Natty merch all over it. Same for my t-shirts and hat collection. Natty or bust! O-H

[@RoadTo19]

Rivalry games are what makes CFB, CFB. The Iron Bowl is more impactful for its fans than any other as most of us live in the same state. However, the teams play for a Chip... The only time the rivalry games mean more are when your team doesn't have a chance at the Chip. I was _SO_ happy BAMA lost to AU in '17! BAMA didn't have to play in the CCG and instead had another week to get healthy in case it made it into the CFP4... fortunately it did, won the Chip, and gave CFB the greatest ending to a game we have seen.

[@actioncamsports]

Something needs to be said, about MATH. What are the odds of winning a national championship, year in and year out? Maybe 1/20, 1/30? What are the odds of winning the B1G year in and year out? Maybe 1/5? What about your rivalry game? Should be about 1/2. So, YES, we expect a rivalry win more than we expect a national championship or a big ten championship, because that is REASONABLE of us!!!

[@joejoe04]

I can't speak for everyone here, but for me and anyone I know personally, the rage meter has been at 100 since the second in a row and I thought we'd never even accept more than 3 in a row. I think you're correct that OSU has consistently underperformed against TCUN, but I don't agree that it's only against them. Sure, the record against bad teams has been solid, but if you watch all the games like we have, you'll notice the team almost never performs as dominantly as it should based on the talent disparity. I think it's a more general coaching issue with day. He recruits well, but consistently does not get the best out of his teams. I just flat think he's not a good coach. For comparisons sake, if Day was coach of Indiana this year, I don't think they come even close to what they did this year.

[@Android6Thousand]

@@joejoe04 truth be told he actually only recruits well at the WR position, everthing else is neglected. He hasn't recruited a star d lineman or any position on defense really. Urban always recruited well on both sides of the ball specifically skill positions and d line, we have completely gone away from that to just focusing on WR. He hasn't even really recruited well at QB either as if WR are supposed to throw themselves the ball somehow. Stroud and Fields were brought in by Urban. Day in 5 years has proven he is just a WR positions coach not a HEAD coach

[@joejoe04]

@Android6Thousand Yeah, really great points. About the QBs, I'm hoping Sayin and St.Clair turn that around, but we'll have to see.

[@Android6Thousand]

@@joejoe04 yea only time will tell but im not holding my breath.. even with his mediocre recruiting outside of WR we still have enough talent. Ohio State as a brand will always draw the talent and they reside in one of the top football recruiting states in terms of talent. We have a coaching issue not a talent issue. Im convinced he doesnt have the wherewithal to drive and motivate the talent

I would absolutely take a national title over beating Michigan. But, because losing to Michigan often means missing out on the Big Ten Championship game, that makes winning the title the only goal left. That's a tough goal to reach every year.

[@lukkaredwolf3534]

At an ABSOLUTE ceiling, i can't see Day surviving two more years of this. If he can't beat Michigan again next year, and makes it into the playoffs again, but still can't cinch the deal, OSU might not want to bite the bullet to get the buyout. If the next time Michigan is in the shoe, and Day loses it again, he likely WILL be run out of the town, even if the players are all in behind him. That's after the Michigan players are likely run out by the attendees.

[@rolotomassi9806]

The good news Ohio State fans is that if Ryan Day is fired you can all apply for the job and do way better than he has. So lots of positives can come out of this situation.

I'm a fan of Ohio State and a fan of Ryan Day. I'm not a fan of calls to get rid of any coach or QB who is involved in a loss. I think Ohio State would be undefeated right now if Kyle McCord wouldn't have been driven out of Columbus. That said, this first round is a must win for Ryan Day.
