I think the pressure on Day is the least it has ever been.
He is 55-6 as a coach.
He has the best winning % (72%) against ranked teams Of all active coaches - better than Saban and Smart.
He goes into Ann Arbor as an underdog, with perhaps his weakest team, facing what is probably the best Michigan team he has faced. A win would be an upset
The fan base would get worked up of course- but they seem to be collectively giving him a pass now on the last 2 losses to UM for obvious reasons.
The comments about “ born on third base” are actually valid. He didn’t have to build up his resume by successfully running smaller school- like most coaches at top programs did.
But he has proven to be a great choice as he has actually elevated the recruiting and winning %, and reached the CFP consistently.
I would even go so far as to say that I think this is his best coaching job yet. He lost three starting offensive lineman to the NFL, lost a stud quarterback to the NFL, and had to retool his whole defense. He managed to break in a new quarterback, while simultaneously continuing to win.
I never thought they would be sitting here at 10 wins and zero losses before the season started.
