If Ohio State loses scoring 3 points, does Day keep his job?
Frankly it's hard to see non-playoff bowl games as anything more than an exhibition nowadays. Transfers and opt-outs have kinda killed bowl season except for the top four teams.
Don't think there's anything at all to take from this game. Certainly not anything to fire a coach over.
Sure, but 3 straight losses to Michigan is also there. He chased McCord away because he wasn't good enough and then this happens. And frankly, Stroud looked mediocre at Ohio State for much of his time and then has one of the greatest statistical seasons a rookie QB has ever had in the NFL. I was imly half joking with my buddies that Day should be fired at halftime and then the 2nd half happens. Just an awful game to watch and a horrid coaching job.
He certainly has no ability to look internally. He felt his losses to Michigan were because of sign-stealing (nevermind that OSU had Michigan’s signs also), and then, when they lost again, he decided to blame his quarterback, even though it’s totally unclear that they have a better option for next year.
Nothing’s going to happen to him this offseason, but if he finds an opportunity in the NFL he should sprint towards it, because he’s starting next year on the hot seat, although he has way too much of an ego to realize it.
