Ohio State football: After the Michigan loss and brawl, will coach Ryan Day get fired? Depends.

Slate  

Ryan Day was already in a unique position. Entering this year, Ohio State’s coach since 2019 was the most successful failure in the sport, a man who justifiably had fans after his job despite a record of double-digit wins every season. The loss amplifies Day’s biggest weakness: that he’s unable to solve the rival program that Ohio State most needs to beat, for both its postseason positioning and state pride. Day’s lone win against Michigan was in 2019, and the Wolverines’ capacity this season to out-physical Ohio State even in such a disastrous year for them is damning. The coaching carousel would revolve around Ohio State whenever Day’s job opened, so the school has no reason not to take its time.
