Ohio State Coach Ryan Day Faces Mounting Pressure After Fourth Straight Loss to Michigan

Despite a 66-10 record and a likely College Football Playoff berth, Day's struggles against Michigan have put his future with the Buckeyes under intense scrutiny.

Ryan Day's Ohio State tenure has been overshadowed by a 1-4 record against Michigan, including a shocking 13-10 home loss to an unranked Wolverines team last weekend.
Former coach Urban Meyer has publicly denied interest in returning to Ohio State, expressing full confidence in Day and his staff despite rumors of a potential comeback.
Ohio State remains ranked No. 6 and is expected to host a first-round game in the expanded College Football Playoff, providing a chance for redemption this season.
The loss to Michigan has reignited criticism of Day's game management, offensive strategy, and inability to win key rivalry games, with some fans and alumni calling for his dismissal.
Firing Day would reportedly cost Ohio State up to $85 million due to buyouts and related expenses, adding a financial dimension to the decision about his future.
