Ohio State firing Ryan Day 'would be justified' - Paul Finebaum | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

Do not fire a 10-2 coach without a better replacement already lined up. - a Nebraksa fan

[@jasonmikolajewski2653]

Heck, we Ohio Bobcats are still living it up because of your firing, since Frank brought Tim Albin with him! We might have never won the MAC (0-5 in the CCG) with Frank or Tim yet, but we get another chance with Tim this weekend!

[@LeeSowers]

@@RainbowManification they don’t care about 10-2. The expect and think they deserve 12-0 every year. Ohio’s really believes this. It a sense of entitlement. Like everyone in conference should bow down and worship them. The rest of you do. You never take them seriously or give up before you try. Michigan is hated because they believe that they can be better and willing to fight for it.

If there’s any fan base that deserves to go 30 years of 8-4 it’s Ohio State fans. They need a major attitude adjustment unfortunately I think the athletic department isn’t stupid to do it. I hope Ryan Day leaves on his own. So that program blows up. These fans really think other coaches aren’t paying attention to how Ryan day is being treated

To be a great leader you have to instill a will to win…..at any cost. Instill some amount of fear. You have to put fire in their belly. Be a teacher and a soft critic. I just don’t see that in Ryan Day. I have never seen that in Ryan Day. I’m just saying.

Ohio State's offensive game plan against Michigan is inexplicable, absent some injury to the QB, even with a damaged O-line. Notre Dame has had numerous injuries to their offensive line but has kept chugging along. Ryan Day's failure to control his players after the game and then defending the violence at the post-game presser are equally inexplicable.
