Ryan Day’s seat was straight-up on fire after that Michigan loss. The fan base was in full meltdown mode. And the calls for Day’s job were deafening with #FireRyanDay quickly becoming the top trend. It felt like Day’s time was running out as tension gripped OSU. However, following Ohio State’s decisive 42-17 victory over Tennessee, all the commotion abruptly died down. Now, analysts are supporting Day, suggesting that he may have successfully preserved his position. The Buckeyes entered the game with great determination, silencing all the skepticism, at least for now!

Buckeyes made a remarkable comeback in the history of college football. Their victory played out like a climactic movie scene, sending chills and goosebumps. It was their only defense against the trolls and doubts surrounding Day’s termination from the program. Even Yahoo Sports analyst Dan Wetzel assures everyone on coach Day’s tenure, saying, “There was a chance that at this taping, which is early Sunday morning, Ryan Day would be fired, run out of town, or have quit, or he could be on the way to winning the national championship. Turns out, he could be on the way to winning the national.”

This team is destined for a national championship, not a coaching change. And why not? The team won against all the odds and doubts over their gameplay. Even when they had an advantage over Tennessee because of extreme weather, Josh Pate made it about the Vols’ strong offense that would overpower the Buckeyes. But in reality, Ohio State’s offense smashed the Vols down right and center, scoring 473 yards against them.

Moreover, even analyst Pat Forde is giving the Buckeyes their props, showing love for the squad after that insane performance against the Vols. They went off; that’s right. “The game plan was great. Chip Kelly was back on his game, back in his bag. Howard was great. They got the ba-l in the perimeter to those great wide receivers, and then they mixed in the run. Their defense totally took over, and it was just an incredibly impressive performance by Ohio State.” That’s a straight fact.

You can’t name a single thing that went wrong against Tennessee. The team’s defense was on fire; they limited the Vols to just 256 yards of total offense. Will Howard made a remarkable performance with his exceptional pass attempts; like this dude completed 24 out of 29 passes. That’s crazy! Also, 311 yards with two touchdowns simply did all the work for the team. However, there are still doubts about Day’s tenure, but why? Isn’t this win enough to shut the trolls?

Ryan Day’s tenure is still under hot fire?

Man, this is one of those moments where you prove yourself, drop a win, and somehow still end up in the weirdest spot. How is it possible that you come out swinging and still catch heat? Well, this is what is happening with Ryan Day and Ohio State: they came, they conquered, and they shut the trolls. But the result is still a big ZERO. Now Coach Day has another doubter in his ear, raising questions over his tenure with the team, ending up in a social media feud between Buckeyes co-offensive coordinator Brian Hartline and analyst Clay Travis.

Now the drama started with Travis taking a shot at the Buckeyes over the Vols huge crowd in the stadium and also made a tweet saying, “It sounds like a home game with Rocky Top playing.” Hesitation? What’s that? But soon after Ohio State’s win, Travis replied to this tweet saying, “No, it didn’t. It never sounded like that. I really do appreciate the effort, though.”

Ohio State ate and left no crumbs. Like, come on, the Buckeyes didn’t let the Vols score a single point till the first quarter and had a lead of 21 points until Nico Iamaleava made it 11 by halftime. This should be enough to keep Ryan Day with the team, but doubts are still up in the air.

As Clay Travis fires back on Brian with harsh words on Ryan Day’s spot with the team, he’s just adding more fuel to an already blazing-hot topic. This guy is not letting Coach Day out of this mess. “Congrats on the win, but if I were you, I’d be worried that tens of thousands of your season ticket holders sold their tickets to Vol fans because they don’t believe in your boss. Hope the contract is guaranteed. And Merry Christmas,” he said.

Look, all the doubters were silenced by this win. It shut them all up. Plus, with Ryan Day making over $10 million this year and a buyout of $37 million, there’s no way Ohio State is firing him anytime soon. Now, the real question is, can he keep this momentum going and beat Oregon? That’s the real test.
