'Fire Ryan Day:' Ohio State fans, media sound off after latest loss to Michigan
Ryan Day is under fire from fans and media after Ohio State’s loss to Michigan on Saturday afternoon in Columbus.
The Buckeyes were favored by 21 points at home against a hapless Michigan team, but they struggled offensively in this game. Will Howard threw 2 interceptions and the Buckeyes averaged under 5 yards per play for the first time all season.
More importantly, it’s another loss in The Game for Day. He defeated Michigan in his first game in this series back in 2019, but the Buckeyes have now lost 4 consecutive games to their arch-rival.
While the sting of a rivalry loss will last for at least another year, there are other implications for this game as well. Ohio State has now been likely knocked out of the Big Ten Championship Game. Penn State is in the driver’s seat to play for the Big Ten title next weekend, provided it can beat Maryland on Saturday afternoon.
At 10-2, Ohio State is now at the mercy of the College Football Playoff selection committee. Regardless of whether or not the Buckeyes squeeze into the CFP, Day’s job security is certainly at question after a 4th consecutive loss to rival Michigan.
Here’s some of the reaction to Ohio State’s historic loss:

FIRE RYAN DAY.

Ryan Day is about to get himself fired because he and Chip Kelly would rather try to prove they're tougher than Michigan in the trenches, rather than just throwing to one of his 237 NFL wide receivers
What a world.

I’d fire Ryan Day even if OSU wins.
This is not the standard.

Imma need Mike Vrabel to stop thinking about coaching in the NFL and take over the Ohio State job! Much better job security and love from your Alma Mater. #FireRyanDay pic.twitter.com/ePO413PDNb

Don't let anyone talk you into keeping Ryan Day.
"They could still win in the playoffs!" "He's won a lot of games tho!"
Stop it. Fire him immediately.
