On one hand, they will have to get rid of Day to turn their luck. On the other hand, they might have to pay a costly price for throwing Day out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Football <strong>Ohio State at crossroads with Ryan Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p data-article=\"true\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Well, there is no doubt in the fact that Day led his program to the most important win of his career. The fans were all ready with the torch and pitchfork. Thank god they did not repeat the same mistakes that led to the thunder-blunder against<strong> Sherrone Moore\u2019s<\/strong> Michigan Wolverines three weeks ago. The Ohio State HC pulled a 180 against <strong>Josh Heupel\u2019s<\/strong> Vols. Surprising, isn\u2019t it? After all, that was the opposite of how they closed things down in the 13-10 loss to the Wolverines on Nov. 30. So, now Day\u2019s future in Columbus stands at the crossroads. Even analyst <strong>Colin Cowherd<\/strong> is confused about it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JZFOtqLORX0&#038;list=TLPQMjMxMjIwMjSD9ygPdARXrg\/?utm_medium=website&#038;utm_source=website_internal&#038;utm_campaign=web_link_7\" target=\"_blank\">On his podcast<\/a>, <em>The Herd with Colin Cowherd<\/em>, he stated, <em>\u201cRyan Day loses to Michigan and Oregon twice\u2026this was impressive but they were at home and Will Howard was perfect. I\u2019m looking at Ohio State and I think did Ryan Day save his job and I think of course and then I think to myself they lost to Oregon.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img title=\"Football\" alt=\"Football\" id=\"img-tag-node-img-loader-0\" src=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.essentiallysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/imago1042705681h.jpg?width=150&#038;blur=15\" fetchpriority=\"high\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\"><\/p>\n<p><span>That\u2019s when he took the help of the guest of the evening, analyst <strong>Albert Breer<\/strong>. To give a better understanding of Day walking on thin ice, he took the example of the former Ohio State HC <strong>John Cooper<\/strong> who was fired after serving Ohio State for 13 years. Breer said, <em>\u201cI was there when John Cooper was fired\u2026it was really because they weren\u2019t winning at the same clip that they had been winning at before and there was the Michigan problem.\u201d<\/em> But again it won\u2019t be easy for Ohio State to let go of Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p data-article=\"true\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>After all, there might be chances for recruits to swap wagons as they did after GOAT <strong>Nick Saban<\/strong> left Alabama Crimson Tide. So, as Breer highlighted,<em> \u201cNot just you know how do you look against Oregon. It\u2019s also like if you\u2019re walking from Ryan Day, are you bringing in somebody who can retain all that talent?\u201d<\/em> Maybe Day will still figure out how to save his job. But two analysts got into a heated argument revolving around the Ohio State HC.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Football <strong>The Ryan Day debate took an ugly turn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>Tension seemed to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/ncaa-college-football-news-ryan-day-saved-his-osu-job-national-analyst-make-bold-claims-after-osus-statement-win-over-tennessee\/\/?utm_medium=website&#038;utm_source=website_internal&#038;utm_campaign=web_link_1\" target=\"_self\">brewing for a long time now<\/a>. Analysts have been divided into two groups. Ray\u2019s fans and Ray\u2019s haters. That\u2019s when things turned bitter between <em>ESPN<\/em> and <em>First Take<\/em> contributor <strong>Shannon Sharpe<\/strong>. It ended up with Sharpe sending a warning to <em>College GameDay<\/em> host <strong>Kirk Herbstreit<\/strong>. We know how doubts loomed around the Buckeyes HC and his chance to lose his job in case they failed to grab a win against Heupel\u2019s army.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p data-article=\"true\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>But when Day and Co. could flip the narrative, putting the finishing touches on their dominating win over the Vols, Herbstreit could no longer keep silent. Maybe he was waiting for the opportunity for a perfect clapback. He said on the <em>ESPN<\/em> broadcast, <em>\u201c\u2018First Take\u2019 tried to fire him. They thought he was done, so I\u2019ll be excited to see what they talk about on Monday after this performance. They had him out, trying to find replacements. But here he is, he still has his hat on. He\u2019s still coaching.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>First Take\u2019s other host <strong>Stephen A. Smith<\/strong> tried to walk away from the controversy claiming that he was misquoted. But Shannon Sharpe didn\u2019t hold back. <em>\u201cIf we\u2019re going to be on the same team, if we\u2019re gonna work for the same network, don\u2019t do that. Kirk, Chris Fowler, I promise you, if you ever mention any platform that I\u2019m on again talking about \u2018I wonder what they\u2019re going to say as negativity,\u2019 I promise you, ESPN ain\u2019t got enough bosses to keep me off y\u2019all for what I\u2019m going to say.
