arm Ryan Day! He had seen enough this season. The Ohio State Buckeyes HC was on the verge of losing his job. But for now he was able to get the fire under control. That’s because Day gave his fans two consecutive big wins. 21-41 vs Dan Lannings Oregon Ducks and 42-17 vs Josh Heupels Tennessee Volunteers. Now all eyes are on the Cotton Bowl on January 10th. It is sad to learn that despite the winning streak, HC Day is facing a major crisis. One misstep and BOOM! The Buckeyes HC knows this will mean difficult times for his family. However, for another ESPN analyst, Steve Sarkisian has more at stake.

Even after the win over the Vols, Day failed to put that smile on the faces of Buckeyes fans. That’s because he now bears the burden of the 10-13 defeat against him Sherrone Moores Wolverines. Why is losing at Michigan a big deal for Ohio State HC? Well, as an analyst Albert Breer pointed out how former Ohio State HC John Cooper even after serving 13 long years for the Buckeyes, he suffered a bad fate. He explained: “I was there when John Cooper was fired… it was really because they weren’t winning in the same round as before and there was the Michigan problem.” Well, Ohio State doesn’t have any matchups scheduled against Michigan this season. But what now?

There will definitely be a comeback. At least that’s how the analysts see it. Colin Cowherd expressed a warning for the Buckeyes HC on his podcast. He started by “Who is under more pressure, Ryan Day or Sark? So think about it. Ohio State supported the Brinks with $20 million for this team. They look like the best team aesthetically and bounced back from the loss at Michigan with two dominant wins.” So far everything is good. Then Cowherd dropped the curtain to reveal what Day might expect.

He continued: “But if they lose to Texas, people are going to say, ‘When was the last time you beat Michigan,’ that’s probably the worst loss to our program in 20 years.” Well, this loss was really painful. After all, it was the first time since 1993 that an unranked Michigan team defeated a ranked Buckeyes team. As far as Ohio State fans are concerned, Day has already seen enough.

How Steve Sarkisian shares the hot seat with Ryan Day

Kirk Herbstreit had to stand up for his friend Day. He noticed “I hear things that he and his family are going through. Especially Nina, his wife. His son, who receives death threats from several people. And what it does to them as a family.” With the analyst describing the Buckeyes’ fan base as a “crazy fringe,” Day took some serious action before the matter got out of his hands. Some unruly Ohio State fans have forced the head coach to place armed security guards at his home around the clock.

Even among college football fans, there were few who were deeply disturbed. As one of them wrote: “I can’t stand the S–keys…but…that’s NOT OK…Blessings on the day family💛💙” while another expressed his frustration, “What’s wrong with people?” Now, after all that, if you think that the Texas Longhorns HC Steve Sarkisian is in a better place, let’s just burst your bubble!

Not to mention, the Longhorns are looking for their first national championship in 19 years. Ryan Day and the Buckeyes are enough to send Steve Sarkisian’s program into a panic. Additionally, the SEC’s lack of firepower this season is fueling fear. That’s when ESPN’s Heather Dinich commented, “It’s 100 percent Sark because he carries the banner not only for his program but for the entire SEC.” Well, the fans don’t care whose seat is hotter. It’s about who uses the heat to win the title.
