If Ryan Day goes 11-1 again next year but loses to Michigan in Ann Arbor is he on the hot seat if he loses 3 in a row to Michigan? 
To many he's on the hot seat now.I agree with what was discussed on the Buckeye Board when URBZ left Gene Smith rushed in a guy who had no HC experience.All the work Tressel and Meyer has done is gone.Ohio State is back to where it was under John Cooper. The party I was at wondered why the the aerial circus wasn't going deep get a catch or a call,not sure how many passes to the flats were tossed.Fleming was actually hanging onto everything however i saw at least 3 drops from others.But the adjustments or lack there of was the head scratcher.There was no deep offense or defense,the coaches didn't put them in a position to succeed.Some have said that they flat out should cut Day's contract like UM did Harbaugh - make him earn it,find out if he's hungry.No one should get paid 9.5 million to lay an egg on the years biggest assignment - two seasons in a row.In Corporate you'd be fired or the very least not paid

The penalties were bad. The unsportsmanlike were blatant and so were the pass interference calls. Bad to the point there wasn’t even an argument to be made for a borderline call. Ohio State getting the ball at the 50, then suddenly it’s 1st and 35 was crazy. What might have been crazier was punting when it was 4th and 6 and Stroud clearly feeling it. That possession I believe was the nail, especially mentally.
the penalties and the lack to put it all on the line and go for it on a couple of 4th downs was more glaring to me than lack of deep shots in the pass game in the 2nd half- so was the lack of any kind of trick/special plays just for Michigan. Michigan had that little jump pass that kept a huge drive going. CJ seemed to look confused at times and almost shy away from the moment. McCarthy was putting it all on the line, taking on contact and running over dudes and hitting his wide open deep shots. Knowles refusal to get out of that cover 0 and back off the LOS cost them. Usually when teams have success on a defense it forces them to adjust and get out of their base plays/looks- Knowles never did that. Dude is shades of Don Brown.

I truly think OSU is the more talented team, but John Cooper has come back with a beard and yesterday reminded me of so many games in the 90’s where the Buckeyes were the talk of the nation, yet stumbled to Maize & Blue.
During the game when it was still close the announcers said the team played tense and not free wheeling- that radiated from Day who has turned the season to night. I wanted to take that play chart he kept looking at and shove it in his farging ear. I didn't see any knowledgeable let alone Genuis adjustments that warrents him making anywhere close to half of what he is hauling in

Meanwhile- Day turtles up and wants to prove how tough they are, and run.  He never attacked with his prized assassin of a QB/WRs.  He made OSU easy to defend.

Pretty much what my circle was discussing and spot on.This guy has nothing now,no aura,no 5*s lining up sans maybe some wideouts not sure what his buyout is but Gene Smith should have to pay it if it is astranomical or sent packing

I hear. I just think it’d be a mistake to get rid of him even if he loses to Michigan in Ann Arbor
Oh no you don't he didn't just lose he lost it.Go Big or go home,if he submits to a pay cut then fine.But MR born on 3rd base needs to grow a pair and quick.And you are right his Bro getting him some help from The League didn't hurt

pretty sure he's got the #1 QB who is also the #1 player in '24 lining up to play for him. Fire Day, you probably lose that QB. I would give him til '24. That's his prove it year.

Agree totally. The officiating was solid. 

OSU made so many stupid and self inflicted penalties.  The PIs were not borderline.   All good calls.  they happen when the DBs are lost and out of position.

one thing that jumped out to me was the OSU DBs almost never played the ball. that's got to be a coaching thing as well.

I am disappointed with Day too.  But let’s be realistic.  He is a young coach, and he is still young.  Michigan gave Harbaugh 6 seasons to get his first win in the rivalry.   

He is a smart guy.  He will get better.

He's had 4 yrs,he's at 9.5 per.Take a pay cut Like Jeem did then we'll see if he's serious or hungry.But yesterday just boggles the mind as far as pounding a square peg into a round hole.If I put a headset on you I know you'd at least strike deep and risk a pick or get a call. We've been hoodwinked,handing him that salary that exceeds that of Urbs is beyond buffoonery IMHO

still kinda blows my mind that Michigan beat Ohio State by 3+ TD's IN Columbus down their best player on offense in Blake Corum and their best player on defense in Mike Morris. unreal.

28-3 in the 2nd half is surprising to me

and cause for concern for Day

what the hell happened in the locker room??
