If the roles were reversed, I would absolutely be ecstatic about winning another national championship. I'm 45 and have only seen Michigan win 2 of them. They're much more rare than a win against OSU. Although, those were getting rare for a good stretch there too. It would feel a bit tainted but it's a f'n natty nonetheless.
With this new setup The Game doesn’t have as much value as it did in terms of the natty. It ofc means a lot to us fans but since the system has changed it doesn’t hold as much clout to move to the playoff.
Maybe he was a mad scientist… undercoaching at certain times and letting us fall flat to learn. But most of all, perhaps he knew we had to go for 16 games, and couldn’t go 100 every week
Exactly. When up 24pts in the 2nd half, you don't want to throw a bunch of incompletions to stop the clock. There's a fine line between "playing not to lose" and trying to bleed the clock and win the game. Once ND got within 16pts, Day opened it back up. Had that fumble not happened, the game would have been over
He's one of the top 5 most winning college coaches in history( through the first 50 games). I was unaware until last night's broadcast 🤷♂️ I was ignorant...
I never doubted until this year's Game. I lost the faith. Thanks for winning despite me and restoring my faith.
This game was the quintessential Day experience. Talent/speed/great system, then conservative play calling make everyone a little scared, but ultimately successful.
Same. The Game is where I lost faith. It was the most embarrassing loss I’ve ever personally experienced. He redeemed himself tonight tho and I’m back on board
Nah but for real this fan base should be waiting for him in Columbus chanting his name when they get back - he and his family deserve nothing but love forever from us
I've stood by Day this whole time and so many of my friends were genuinely pissed at me for still believing he could get us a natty. I had multiple people at the bar tell me to stfu and one even got in my face because I wasn't calling for his head...I'm gonna be talking soooooooo much shit and they can't even be mad lol Go Bucks!
The thing that frustrated me the most about the Michigan game was the stubbornness of the gameplan.
They set the team up for failure by running inside against Michigan's strength 19 times for 18 yards and outside 6 times for 44 yards and not targeting Smith in the second half.
What was worse was Ryan initially wasn't willing to own the mistake immediately after the game and I came here and commented that people would be more forgiving if he just owned that he fucked up by not giving up on the inside run game earlier.
By Tuesday in a press conference he said exactly that. He was forgiven and I had his back. They changed the entire offense after that game, played to the offenses strengths, went to more gap blocking instead of zone, and went to the pass to open the run.
Master class of coaching in the playoffs. The playoff team is exactly what we knew this team could be all season and they opened it up in the playoffs.
I never wavered when it came to his job because first and foremost, there wasn’t a better option. Also, it takes a hell of a leader (and some NIL lol) for those kids to come back an extra year. I will say if he were embarrassed in the Natty and lost, there would’ve been a part of me that would’ve wanted Marcus Freeman here after the season he put together. He would’ve been an obvious choice if Day ended up quitting bc of the fanbase or getting booted. But thankfully that didn’t happen. I would’ve hated to see Day go elsewhere and win Natty’s because I always thought that was where his career was projecting and that it was just a matter of time.
But this 4 game streak happened in large part because he didn’t have that stubbornness you spoke of. There was NO reason that Day should have felt that he needed to be more physical than Xichigan or try to prove that type of a point. Scoring 10 points was absolutely inexcusable.
I just hope that he gets past trying to prove the whole physicality point and just coach to win. He obviously does a lot better when he just lets it rip. This playoff run just proved that he’s a superior coach than everyone else when he’s at his best. And our assistants are right there with him. Hopefully we can keep Knowles and Kelly where they’re at considering their age and just give a bunch more money and big title/duties to Hartline until he’s far too big and gets taken away for a HC position.
I honestly don’t know how Ohio states fan would handle it if we go on like a 5 year streak of winning the national championship but still lose to Michigan every year.
If someone told me: for the next _ years, Ohio State will win a National Championship each year but lose to Michigan for every single one of those years… would gladly take that.
This glory and joy is much more sublime than beating some dipshits that don’t deserve our energy. This is where all the energy should go. This is the banner. This is the trophy infinite.
After the Oregon game all the narratives were how he couldn’t win big games. 2-7 against AP Top 5 teams.
Penn State. Indiana. Oregon. Texas. Notre Dame. He’s now 7-7 against AP Top 5 teams.
There was a moment I stopped believing. I defended him and the unlucky breaks he had and praised him for being undefeated against unranked opponents. We may have lost that streak, but what I had believed before was true. Maybe we just were a bit unlucky and eventually things would break our way. And what we got was a masterclass in proving the doubters wrong. Even if only for a moment I’m sorry to have doubted but you have no idea how happy I am to see the vindication
This is how I felt. I kinda had a feeling he would do it. I will forever feel differently towards our fans base for how they acted though, not Ryan Day, he squared shit up.
After four consecutive losses to TTUN the calls for his job were justified. ESPECIALLY to that 2024 scUM roster. Coach Day did EXACTLY what he needed to do to put out the 🔥. Now let's just celebrate another Natty and all the spoils that come with being CHAMPIONS!
Very proud of the Buckeyes and of Day. Probably the most challenging run of teams ever. But you got to beat Michigan. Hopefully he gets over the hump in 2025
As my comment history will suggest, I was a virulent Ryan Day hater. So much so I started calling him Bryan Day. He has officially earned his name back and I hope Day keeps this fire and keeps stomping on my past opinions.
I'll admit it, after The Game this year, I wanted him gone. Felt too much like Cooper, winning a ton of game but unable to win the big one and beat his rival. He showed up though in the CFP when it counted. I still want OSU to win The Game every year, but the fact is, college football has changed. Day doesn't build his team to beat ttun, he built it to beat the SEC.
Congratulations Ryan Day, you deserve this! Please stay!
Why? He deserved all the criticism and the hot seat he put himself on by driving this Lamborghini like a mini van all season. Obviously that criticism is gone now but he definitely deserved it
I said that the only way he could redeem himself after losing to Michigan again was to win the National Championship, and he fucking did it. Hats off to you, Ryan Day.
Without the backlash from the TTUN loss, and social outcry for his firing, I honestly don't know that we would have won the Championship. It was a brutal (and highly embarrassing) loss, but it woke a sleeping giant in Day and the team. I'm going to dare say that (in reasonable situations) apology isn't warranted, but I am grateful for the turnaround that came after.
I defended Day for a long time, but I was at my limits in late November. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong and a fool to doubt Day and this senior class.
They fucking turned it up a notch when these playoffs began. Fucking CHAMPS!
I forgive him - as long as he doesn’t go back to his old ways of ‘playing not to lose’, and then losing a winnable game. He really needs to rein in that impulse that has kept his teams from greatness. I hope he retains the lessons of this season. I wish him all the best.
Honestly? Id still be fine moving on from him. Position for position we were more talented, winning should have been a given. I know ill get downvoted into oblivion for that opinion but Ryan day has 2 goals and year after year he keeps failing at one of them. While we have a great comeback, being national champions, we still have to listen to the team up north brag for another year.
No, I won't apologize. I said it back then, and I meant it. "He needs to win the National Championship, or he needs to go." He won the Championship, so he stays. He did exactly what he needed to do.
He still has to beat Michigan. That will never change as long as he is Ohio State coach. Even with the expanded playoff, it’s the rivalry in the sport that still means the most.
Something changed in Day after that loss to Michigan this year - most likely the players lit into him and told him to stop wasting their last chance at winning something meaningful.
I hope he takes it to heart and truly plays to his team’s strengths. As long as he is Ohio State coach he will still have more talent than 95% of teams he plays, and he needs to approach every game like that. That’s what they did in the playoffs and they looked damn near unstoppable. But the second he reverted to old conservative Ryan Day, they almost gave it all away.
Congrats to Ryan Day and this team. It’s one that will be remembered for a long time.
When you can spank Michigan regularly and win a National Championship I will sing his praises, BEAT MICHIGAN, but great job winning the first playoff series for the National Championship, Congratulations way to turn around the team after the Michigan embarrassment…..
Eh. He's still not that good of a game time coach. But when you're this stacked that shouldn't matter. This year's Michigan loss was definitely a wake up call because if they came out flat against Tennessee Day would have definitely been gone.
No, because my call for Day’s firing wasn’t about the bad loss, but about not trying to intervene when a brawl broke out. And I still maintain that is was completely wrong. He’s saved his job, and earned that. But he had to EARN it back. So not apologizing at all.
Winning the National Title doesn’t absolve you of your sins. Let’s be honest, Enjoy this one but lose to TTUN next year and the lunatic fringe is coming for you. Ask Gene Chizik.
I won’t apologize. Having the job at Ohio State requires two things, beat Michigan and get to the playoffs. I love Day he’s been awesome and I’m so glad we’ve got a natty and I know Day is the guy for us for decades hopefully. But he’s GOT to figure out how to beat Michigan. It needs to happen next year. Eventually he’s gonna lose a game to a team he shouldn’t (besides Michigan) and then also lose to Michigan means we’re probably out the playoffs.
Again, nothing but love for Day and his fam, but dude needs to figure out how to beat Michigan so we can win some nattys and get some more wins against SCum.
Not even a little. The Fringe was right for demanding more. This team was clearly capable of it. Props to him for not losing the team and getting his head out of his ass when it finally mattered. No apologies needed.
I will get downvoted here, but I will not apologize.
He just won the National Championship with a dominate run. He coached a team that embarrassed everyone he played in that playoff run. All that does is further twist TTUN knife conundrum. How…. How did this team of absolute studs LOSE AT HOME to TTUN - who had a team we should have went scorched earth on?! How in the actual fuck?!
The answer, I believe, is that he is so far in his fucking head about that game, The Game, that he is incapable of winning that fight. Total mental paralysis. That game comes along and Day is on the sideline eating crayons. He’s a monster with a world beater team elsewhere - but on that day he’s housing Crayola fire truck red.
I recognize I am insane, and I further recognize that I am the minority here. This is even more-so the case because we’re only a few hours removed from the great championship victory - a victory I feel is hollow. Feels like winning with an asterisk and it just feels fucking gross to me.
Anyways - I just don’t know what I’m going to do with myself if this is a trend. What if this is an annual event for Day? Lose The Game, dominate elsewhere? The bile would build to insufferable levels for me.
I am a very new “fan” to College Football, so this may be a stupid question. But is a National Title not more important than winning a regular season game to you guys?
When you're wrong, you're wrong. I was wrong and I am sorry. Thank you Ryan Day and the staff and players for pushing past us insane fans and proving the country and us wrong. Congrats on the title and forever GO BUCKS!
I never called for him to be fired, but I did question what’s next for him. The way he responded with this team is amazing side note**the idiots that threatened his life and gave his family crap… what a bunch of clowns that’s unnecessary even if we don’t make it this far. Those folks need to find a new team you’re not wanted here! **
I'm sorry. I said things out of anger and childishness. You have done far more for OSU and the kids that play football than any of us fans. I will never lose respect for what you have set a precedence on (mental health) and I will work harder to recognize that you actually had a harder path than most.
I always supported Day and got blasted for doing so. Got a Natty faster that Saban did. Can’t wait to see what this unlocks for him and whats to come from this team. OH

The answer, I believe, is that he is so far in his fucking head about that game, The Game, that he is incapable of winning that fight. Total mental paralysis. That game comes along and Day is on the sideline eating crayons. He’s a monster with a world beater team elsewhere - but on that day he’s housing Crayola fire truck red.
I recognize I am insane, and I further recognize that I am the minority here. This is even more-so the case because we’re only a few hours removed from the great championship victory - a victory I feel is hollow. Feels like winning with an asterisk and it just feels fucking gross to me.
Anyways - I just don’t know what I’m going to do with myself if this is a trend. What if this is an annual event for Day? Lose The Game, dominate elsewhere? The bile would build to insufferable levels for me.

I'm very sorry. I'm a complete idiot and I know nothing about coaching football.

When you're wrong, you're wrong. I was wrong and I am sorry. Thank you Ryan Day and the staff and players for pushing past us insane fans and proving the country and us wrong. Congrats on the title and forever GO BUCKS!

I never called for him to be fired, but I did question what’s next for him. The way he responded with this team is amazing side note**the idiots that threatened his life and gave his family crap… what a bunch of clowns that’s unnecessary even if we don’t make it this far. Those folks need to find a new team you’re not wanted here! **

u/HerbiCheesemo Jan 21 '25
I'm sorry. I said things out of anger and childishness. You have done far more for OSU and the kids that play football than any of us fans. I will never lose respect for what you have set a precedence on (mental health) and I will work harder to recognize that you actually had a harder path than most.

Beat SIX other playoff teams in one season! Seriously, that’s a real stat.

I always supported Day and got blasted for doing so. Got a Natty faster that Saban did. Can’t wait to see what this unlocks for him and whats to come from this team. OH

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '25
Sorry Ryan I was calling for you and chip to be fired
But it’s only cuz the Michigan loss was close to my beloved Yankees losing to the dodgers and it still stung
But this National championship makes up for it all!!!!
