Of all of Ohio State coach Ryan Day’s critics following Saturday’s 30–24 loss to Michigan, none appeared to be more torn over his standing with the program than Buckeyes icon Maurice Clarett.
The legendary OSU running back became a hot topic on social media throughout the game as Clarett said all he could to push, pull and hope for a Buckeyes win. But apparently the sting of losing to the No. 3-ranked Wolverines (12–0) for a third-consecutive year in what was the No. 2 Buckeyes’ first loss of the season (11–1) firmly helped Clarett decide where he stands on Day.
“Ryan Day…. Love you bro but gotta go. This is why you’re paid millions. Cant get paid 9’ms and lose 3 straight,” Clarett wrote on X (formerly Twitter), citing the lucrative extension Day signed in May 2022.
