Ryan Day was expected to perform well in his 6th season as Buckeyes’ HC. With a squad that cost almost $20 M in NIL money, the OSU was expected to win a national championship. Even though Ohio State lost to Michigan 13–10, the 10–2 Buckeyes are still predicted to qualify for the CFB Playoffs and have a chance to earn the national title. Nonetheless, concerns regarding Day’s fam continue to arise.

Take a look at how everything went in reverse! Ryan Day once made both his own family and the OSU family proud. The sorrows in their gazes are now due to him. After the Buckeyes vs Wolverines game, Day had his final opportunity to regain his former greatness. However, we are aware that the Buckeyes’ fortunes were not in their favor. On Day’s resume, a 10–13 loss and a fourth consecutive loss did not look good. In the sight of his loved ones, he sank. Now, as seen in the video footage posted by Yahoo! Sports with the caption, “What should Ohio State do with Ryan Day? 😳,” the CFB source expressed pressure to make a crucial decision after this. “I think it is time for Ryan Day to find a new job,” the insider said.

Providing context for the statement, the insider said, “The Michigan element of this job has consumed him and his family to an unhealthy degree. The fans don’t want him there. He’s a great coach. He can find another job. I think he should look for one.” Furthermore, he said, “But guess what? You might just go win a national championship this you know, you got to ride this season out, and they’re in limbo right now. And it may be a limo that ends with win national championship. You’re not getting rid of it. So what does Ohio State do with Ryan Day? What does Ryan day do with Ryan day?“

It just shows how completely perplexed the CFB community is over Ryan Day’s future. If you are unaware, Day has a 1-4 record versus Michigan. In the 2019 season, he defeated the Wolverines 56-27 in Ann Arbor, the only time he has triumphed against the Buckeyes’ fiercest opponent. But Michigan has now defeated OSU 4 times in a row.

The big question now is: should Ohio State fire Ryan Day or try to strengthen the team? After the heartbreaking loss to Michigan, many fans are calling for Day’s head. And if the university decides to fire Day, it won’t be cheap, with a potential buyout of around $37 million. It’s a tough decision, and let’s see if the Buckeyes will make this critical move. Meanwhile, Bruce Feldman shared some insights into the stress Ryan Day and his family are experiencing during this challenging time.

Stuff going on with Ryan Day’s fam

Bruce Feldman reported that Ryan Day and his family were stressed about the Michigan game and the pressure to win a national championship this year. “Though Day seems to be having more fun behind the scenes this year than previously, people close to Day have talked privately about how emotionally hard this had been for his wife and young children,” Feldman stated. Adding, “Coaches and their families often get the worst of being connected to proud programs with incredibly passionate fan bases. From what I’ve heard, this is all of that, times a million. And that was before Saturday’s disaster against Michigan.“

Compared to the last 3 losses, Saturday’s was the most heartbreaking for OSU. Michigan had a 6-5 record going into the game. Feldman thinks that if the Buckeyes don’t win a national title following Saturday’s outcome, Day will be subject to further criticism and “terrible stress” this winter. Let’s see what transpired.
