re: Remember When "Ryan Day was Born on 3rd Base and Thought He Hit a Triple"?

i will say it. day is a damn good coach

Don't give me that shite

Nobody cares how old Day is, he's been the Head Coach at Ohio State since 2019 and the roster has stayed loaded. They have never NOT had a playoff-worthy team.

You know damn well that Ohio State boosters lost their minds when Harbaugh built Michigan up, made the playoffs, then won the title the following season, while Day had been sitting on the edge and never finishing it every year.

Mentioning Kelly is irrelevant and just trying to distract from the issue.

---

Ryan took 5 seasons into his career to win a title, oh the shame. Brian Kelly has been a Head Coach for 30 and still no title.

quote:

---

Ohio State is relevant again because of NIL which makes the talent even out across teams more so than the past. Arguing Day is even comparable to Saban is extremely laughable. He doesn’t strike fear into anyone like Saban did.

---

Are you implying Ohio State was not relevant before NIL because that made my day.

How does expanding the playoff field give a big ten team or notre dame a better chance to win?

quote:

---

In no way am I comparing Day to Saban (yet) but those third base comments are hysterical.

---

Anyone who won't admit Ryan Day has chops is just being a hater. But extraordinarily few coaches get the luxury of taking over for a coach who's retiring near the peak of his game and have a well-oiled, readymade team waiting for them. Most of them come in because the other guy got fired and they have a shite show waiting for them.

Same thing with Lincoln Riley. Took Oklahoma over from Bob Stoops and won 12 every year. Left for USC and took two thirds of OU's players with him, and he's gotten worse every year. Bret Bielema had the same fate when he left Wisconsin for Arkansas. Harsin when he left BSU for Auburn. Nick Saban built the program from the ground up every school he went to.

Ryan took 5 seasons into his career to win a title, oh the shame

So, you're telling me that Ohio State's fans and boosters were happy with Day before the playoffs started last year.

Gotcha.

Brian Kelly has been a Head Coach for 30 and still no title.

Again, irrelevant to the discussion.

Do your boosters and admin look at Brian Kelly and compare, or do they look over at Michigan?

Like I said, Day started out with Ohio State making the playoffs, and Michigan in the ditch. He's been unable to beat them on the field, and they were able to move all the way up to winning a title, while Ohio State remained "so close".
That had to eat at them, and then with Oregon coming in and taking the conference out from under him year 1- I'm sure there were people getting buyout funds together.
Then, he went and won it all in the playoffs. That saved his arse.

Oh! You’re retarded, that explains your posts. Carry on there little guy!

See you can't even understand sarcasm. I understand you played OSU in 2001 and 2002 and got some nice outback bowl wins

South Carolina has had 5 HCs since OSU played them. OSU has had 4.

Those games are in no way relevant to how good these teams are. OSU is on a completely different level than USCe. When you type in USC OSU rivalry AI can't even find South Carolina

It must suck to be an alter for a school who celebrates 9 wins like they won a national title

I know where hating on Bama, but seriously frick Ryan Day.

Ohio State is the best job in the countryZ

infinite resources
minimal conpetition during the year.

He still needed a 12 team playoff to win one after choking 2 games.

So your response is a bit unhinged .

I've never said Day was a bad coach, and by the way I don't worship Kelly either.

Regarding Day: I'm simply an outside observer who has heard the rumblings. Reminded me of the Earle Bruce situation, where Ohio State fired a successful coach because he didn't beat Michigan enough. As an LSU fan, that stuff also reminded of the bitching against Les Miles, since he also was successful (even won a title), but didn't win enough vs Saban at Alabama.

And you 100% have boosters who were preparing to mutiny against Day, for the reasons I listed, up until he finally won his title. That's not me as a hater saying it, that's me as a football fan hearing the noise beginning to come out of Columbus. Don't put that on me, put that on your money bags.

As for bringing in all the silly comments about Kelly- that's just being silly. Kelly ain't the coach of your rival, don't know why you should even care. And with him now being at LSU... Orgeron quit trying after 2019, but didn't leave until LSU fired him after 2021. Kelly was brought in to fix the mess he left. For the record, if LSU had pulled Day then, I think people would have been very happy down here. But Kelly's done a solid job, all things considered. LSU had been over a decade since "owning" the SEC, the problem was that it had then fallen to below middle of the pack. Kelly immediately restored LSU to contention, although hasn't won the conference. And he currently has LSU again recognized as a top tier team, trending upwards. If you follow social media, this website or local media, there's been a lot of grumbling about Kelly too; ain't no "Kelly worshippers".

In that context, calling someone a "Kelly worshipper" is going into the same mindset as those who called for Day's head. So you claim to support your coach and say he's doing fine, but you mock another guy who also is doing fine, because he also hasn't won a title?

Ryan had his back to the wall with everyone against him, but instead of quitting, he showed his grit and kicked arse, plus has been to 3 playoffs in 5 seasons.

All well and good.
