[@phillamoore157]

@@saythetruth2426 No….holding Ryan Day accountable for losing 99% of his big games, into spire of his obscene level of pay, and his $20milion roster. If it was 1930 and the players were playing for the love of the game, and a scholarship, and the coaches were making a reasonable amount of money (while also teaching) a lot of fans WOULD support the team more….even with a garbage record. Saban got behind Day without taking ANY of Ryan Day’s legacy (OR his $20million roster), into consideration. It makes Saban look like a hypocritical, fool, especially when it’s the fans themselves (one way or another) who are paying that NIL money.

[@Alexinytown]

​@@KeyBorg1Let's not act like if Saban had lost four years in a row to Auburn that the alumni wouldn't be out with the pitch forks.

@@KeyBorg1 If you say so. There is a lot of people south of the Mason Dixon line who swear the Iron Bowl is the greatest rivalry game of all time, but feel free to say Michigan and Auburn are not comparable. When Alabama goes on another four or five year skid against Auburn their fans are not going to be all smiles and getting behind their coach. They are used to winning championships, and their fans are more insufferable than OSU's ever could be when they start losing. Saban knows this though but won't say it out loud.

[@TripleG12398]

As an ohio state fan, I agree with everything Desmond Howard was talking about except the part about them losing to Missouri (winning bowl games isn't really worth bragging about unless if it's the college football playoffs). I'm still optimistic on Ohio State possibly winning the national championship this year and Ryan Day has gotten more wins during his head coaching career than what most coaches would usually have, but his struggles against Michigan can't go unnoticed. I wouldn't really say it's the top-tier opponents, it's just The Game that he really struggles with. Even when Michigan was a top-tier team the past 3 years, Ohio State's roster was about as evenly good as Michigan's roster and Ryan Day get outcoached by that team every single time and he definitely got outcoached this year. It they couldn't beat Michigan this year with that Buckeyes roster compared to that Michigan roster at home, I don't when he ever will. Michigan might truly has his number.

[@CroMagJohnson]

yeah, his take on the missouri game was whack, but everything else he said was accurate.

[@davidcraft4636]

Bowl games matter. 2-4. Day has earned this criticism. I don’t trust him. He’s got that look that John Cooper had in the 1990’s and it spreads down to the team.

[@ls-vg4pn]

Day may be John Cooper jr

[@uttermanbo]

Jim Tressell didn't win at the clip Day has, his recruiting wasn't as dynamic. But he was never on the hot seat. There's two reasons for that. One is he won a National Title his second year and was always in BCS bowls. The more important reason is because he dominated Michigan. I'm a Gator fan, the fans weren't calling for Tressells job after we decimated them in the '06-'07 BCS Title Game. LSU did the same the next year. That Ohio State vs Michigan game is the best rivalry in college football because of how much that game means. In the SEC we want to beat our rivals, but winning a National Title is by far more important.

Desmond is not needed on this panel. He contradicts himself more than anyone on there

[@realBkay]

99% of the time, because I record College Game Day, I fast forward through Desmond Howard‘s comments. I recorded this episode of College Game Day and I fast forwarded through his comments. But now that I’m able to watch and listen to them, specifically concerning Ohio State’s head coach, I agree w/Howard 100%. Howard grew up in Ohio, he knows THE game at the end of the year is THE most important game. Something the current Ohio State head coach doesn’t seem to realize, hence his 1-4 record against ttun. Howard you are 100% correct. Everything these other people are saying about the current Ohio State head coach are the very same “lilac and roses” comments that were made about John “the cancer“ Cooper when he was the head coach at THE Ohio State University. His winning percentage against all the “other“ teams made him this great and wonderful coach. To those of us who know the importance of THE game, his 3-8 record vs. ttun made him a CANCER to his teams. R. Day is the 2nd CANCERous coach to OSU football in the last 36 yrs.

Desmond keeping it real.

[@Grgfkn3076]

He was right too

[@Apofuexgaming]

I hate Desmond, but totally agreed with him here

[@Android6Thousand]

Ironically a scUM legend was the only one stating FACTS… the Ohio was coming out of him.. he was talking from a sincere place with love for the brand that is Ohio State and the cultural standard they have even as a rival… Im more annoyed Saban was being disingenuous as if he wouldnt have received the same type scrutiny if he was on a 4 year skid against Auburn.. like stop trying to make the fans out to be like they’re up in arms for nothing. Going 54-3 against unranked opponents and 10-14 against top 10 opponents clearly shows a deficiency in performing well in the games that matter. Sorry but OSU fans are smart enough to not be fooled by the fluff record.

[@sisco302]

What Nick Saban said speaks volumes of the difference between when he coached at Bama and Ohio State now. Ohio State is obsessed with winning. Now it has turned to desperation. Saban on the other hand tried to get each player to play to their maximum potential. To make everybody better. This is a huge difference in culture. Now you know why one team won so often and the other can’t win a Natty even with great raw talent.

[@Android6Thousand]

Yes because one team clearly had a better COACH which is what the fanbase is griping about. What Saban is talking about is DEVELOPING players which CLEARLY our current COACH isnt doing very well, Especially coming right behind Coach Meyer who coined the phrased “Developed Here” at OSU. The fanbase isnt griping for nothing. You win Championships by meeting OBJECTIVES. No OSU team has ever won a championship without beating scUM, thats a historical fact and KNOWN objective when CHOOSING to come play/COACH here. And being ranked #2 then losing to a 6-5 team at home isnt a typical trait of a well COACHed team.

​@@Android6Thousand Ryan does develop players but doesn't teach discipline and it shows

[@Android6Thousand]

@@songofdeath5 Ryan doesnt even develop WR the only position he focuses on. His top WRs have all been 1-2 years and done with just RAW talent. Harrison and Smith were great before him. Outside of them he’s been riding the coat tail of Urbans old recruits. Stroud and Fields were both brought in under Urban. Day doesnt even recruit well at QB or any position besides WR as if theyre supposed to block for/defend/throw themselves the ball. Its been 5 years hes clearly a fraud weve seen enough

[@mtobin9834]

Well? I don’t live in my parents basement but….point well taken. I’m having my crow 🐦‍⬛ with my coffee ☕️ this morning. Congratulations Coach Day and staff. Congratulations to the players. Excellent preparation and on field performance! 👏👏👏

Go Bucks! Let's Go!!!

[@phillamoore157]

If it was 10yrs ago, I’d say Saban is correct, for the most part. However, now that these perpetually-entitled, children are getting wealthy off the backs of these fans, then they have an obligation to win. And, Saban also didn’t say a word about Day’s complete inability to win big games. Ryan Day hasn’t been able to win the one game it was made clear to him, he HAS to win. *So, at what point does Saban acknowledge that the coach/players have an obligation to win….ESPECIALLY, after the record Day has, and the $20milllion roster he has. SABAN HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT, OR IS A FLAMING HYPOCRITE ABOUT IT.*

[@JasonGarst-p3r]

I'm a Tennessee fan, but coach is dead on!!!

[@vernonballl8983]

Nick Saban is the Goat!!!

[@JeffreyLeohner]

I didn’t like Nick Saban, because he coached at Alabama, and I can’t stand Alabama, or the SEC! But I have always respected him as a coach, and even more so, as a person! Class act, and he got his coaching start at Ohio State, was the there for two years, as an assistant coach! 🌰🏈

[@dustinmartin8954]

Love how Coach Saban spoke out about this bs negativity, as a Nittany Lion we have some "fans" still bitching about James Franklin, well were 12-2 going to Quarter Final against Boise State, 2 losses by 15 points. You either support your team or not period, if not then kick rocks. These 18-21 year old student athletes need all the support they can get, they feed on that especially in this age of internet and social média.

[@nickgarrett1784]

Desmond is spot on!

[@drewdozerthaprophet9568]

Hope a lot of us heard the 🐐because he’s 💯 correct.

[@CBGRTR]

Detective saban from 1932 😂... tha 🐐

[@tomurbs4912]

Amen Coach Saban!

[@brandonboykin8349]

I can understand both sides of this argument about Day. Yes he has a great record against teams with a losing record. Yes he does seem to struggle against good teams. But my biggest issue with Day is his whining and crying to officials constantly. He will argue good calls when he is being out coached and his players out played.

[@LaxCats01]

Maybe it's because I'm watching this at 3:30am and missing something......why does ESPN have Ohio States Record 11-2 and not 10-2? at 4:34 timestamp in the video?

[@gaypreator8547]

Coach on fire, spitting truth bombs.💣💣💣 Love: all the bashing on Coach and Team does nothing - nothing. If you can do better apply for a job, or get your own team….build your own college 🔥☄️🔥☄️✌️🎄

[@jesserossi9973]

Saban psyched about the new mafia game

[@PilotLife175]

Desmond Howard dropping truth bombs

[@timcassidy6057]

Desmond spitting Facts was the Best Part of this video. I agree about UM had a Better HC & developed their players as why they Beat OSU every year. IMO, OSU HC “Mr. Shadow Beard” has a bad vibe about him.

[@Beaumo66]

Saban is right... Let's all be supportive in this position because the season isn't over. The National Championship can be brought home to Columbus and Ryan Day can do that but.. we also have to support the guy during this time, not give up on him and these kids.. Even if we think 'Oh I am done with day, I can't support him.. he should be fired yesterday' that is giving up on these kids.. These Athletes.. These Buckeyes :D.. so let's go! Selling Tickets to Tennessee fans? Come on.. Giving up on Day with a big big game and opportunity right around the corner.. lol... COME ON! Coach Saban looking like Alan Grant in Jurassic park makes me feel better tho. :D

[@buddylovebeatz2429]

as a ohio state fan its safe to say if he doesnt win the national title hes gone , that loss to michigan was embarrassing . also you have to take into consideration his team really is stacked every year with most of the players going to the nfl and you're still losing

Saban looks like the Mob boss.

[@robertfridley280]

That’s why Nick Saban is one of the best of the best. Didn’t like him or his teams but I didn’t have to. I wasn’t a fan. I love Ohio State. Win, lose or draw. Ryan Day is in a tough spot and yes, in Ohio, we want our team to be the best. Go Bucks
