Gene Smith responds to question of whether Ryan Day is on the ‘hot seat’ after Michigan losses

If you’ve been listening to some of the national media and those up in Ann Arbor, many would have you believe that Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is on the proverbial “hot seat” after losing to Michigan two straight years. Because of it, there hasn’t been a Big Ten title and OSU missed out on the College Football Playoff in 2021.

I’ve never bought into the notion that a third straight loss to Michigan would result in Day’s firing. He’s got a 45-6 record, has been to the College Football Playoff three of the last four years, and has the culture and recruiting in a very, very good spot.
