One of the biggest topics in college football right now is Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day. He has lost four straight games against the Michigan Wolverines and many are wondering whether or not this will be the end for him with the Buckeyes unless they win the National Championship this season.
The Buckeyes will not be playing in the BIG10 Championship Game this week and many people are curious to see who they will face in the college football playoffs. Ohio State will continue to be in the news cycle across college football.
ESPN’s Paul Finebaum Makes Crazy Comments About Ohio State Buckeyes Head Coach Ryan Day
On Tuesday morning, he was on the show Get Up on ESPN with Mike Greenberg. Paul Finebaum was on the show with Heather Dinch and they were asked about what it would take for Day to keep his job with the Buckeyes. Finebaum said:
“Well, first of all, I don’t believe any athletic director’s statement of support. That same athletic director, Greeny, Ross Bjork he was at Texas A&M two years ago, he was with Jimbo Fisher until he fired him and gave him a $76 million payoff. So that’s just complete balderdash. The bottom line is he has to make a serious run as Heather said. First round knockout? I’d fire him on the field before he gets to the midfield,” he said. “I still think he probably ought to go, I mean this guy has been a very good coach, he’s 66-10. But when you lose to your rival every single year four straight, so we’re talking about three revenge games and the same results happens, especially this year, it’s time to start packing.”
A lot of Ohio State Buckeyes fans are fed up with Ryan Day as head coach and they want to move in a different direction. When the college football playoffs bracket comes out on Sunday, it will be interesting to see who Ohio State will face in the first round.

Ryan Day better win a home playoff game or he’s getting a performance-based bonus from the AD showing his “total support” for Day…Ryan, don’t turn your back on the AD!!!! Don’t go in that room!!! pic.twitter.com/xOZhXatypd

He needs to get to the National Title Game. If not he’s likely gone. You can’t lose to Michigan 4 straight times. Especially in a year where Michigan is 7-5 and Ohio St has National Title hopes.

I remember when Nebraska fired their 10 win coach. Didn’t work out and hasn’t since. Not real smart.

If the Buckeyes win it all, then Day will probably not be fired. Anything short of that will probably result in a firing. The last thing Ohio State needs is a home first-round playoff game and then pull out another dud and the fans start chanting fire Ryan Day. That would be the worst thing to happen for them.
