I wonder if he is fired 24 hours from now. My guess is it’s better than 50% odds.

Guy is 66-10, that's probably the highest win percentage of all time. Tough job to step into when that's not good enough. Would be interesting to see who they would hire, especially at this part of the year.
I laugh when I see the Day takes from OSU fan. My best friend is one and he is saying the same thing. That losing to Michigan 4 times in a row is a fireball offense. I remember back in the days when we tried to run TO outta town because he couldn't win the "big one". He had numerous losses to OU also. Then at some point he figured it out and the rest is history.
My thought was that yeah he loses to Michigan. That game means more than the other 11 or 12 he's banking every year? He says YUP...
SO I say "what if he goes 9-4 but beat Michigan every year then what? He says "that is much more bearable ".
I just said damn that's amazing. Iyam Day probably should go find another job anyways if THIS is what it is all about.
Like you said when you hire a coach basically just tell him you HAVE to beat Michigan more than not or u will be fired. No matter what you do in the other games the easiest way to get fired is losing to Michigan...PERIOD.
For the life of me I couldn't fire a guy with that record. At some point I'd think he figure it out. But hey the OSU is different. To think we had fans batching about Solich getting fired. This would be unheard of...
Holla
If they fire Day that would be insane. And who would they get instead? Bring back Urban?
They won’t fire him, as long as they don’t get blown out. (unlikely) I wish they would though cause I don’t think they’ll find someone better.
It’s the same way on the Michigan side…Harbaugh was down to his last chance when he finally beat Ohio State. I’m sure losing 4 in a row to Michigan is sitting towards the front of everyone’s mind at Ohio State. That type of rivalry is tough for us to understand. I seriously think unless OSU wins the playoff they will turn right back to being pissed about Michigan.
Take how we feel when Colorado or Miami came to play here, and multiply it several times.
Vrabel has been mentioned for Cincinnati if Zac Taylor is let go.
Firing Day would be the same mistake Nebraska made firing Frank Solich 58-19, it could put them in purgatory forever. The only thing that would save tOSU is that they have more talent in the cupboard than NU did at the time, but the portal could eliminate that talent quickly.
Yep, tOSU is just one of those "it" teams that great high school players want to go and play.
I agree with you, but Urban was 83-9 at OSU. High expectations. Day has a great record but has also lost 4 straight to Michigan.
I would be genuinely shocked if Cincy fires Taylor. Brown is known for holding on to coaches forever, and ZT is an offensive coach. The offense is still pretty good. Brown would rather save money than win.
