As Ohio State put the finishing touches on a clinical dissection of Tennessee in the College Football Playoff, former Buckeyes quarterback Kirk Herbstreit offered some support for embattled coach Ryan Day. The days and weeks after Day dropped his fourth consecutive game to Michigan were understandably rough for the head man in Columbus and he couldn't do anything about it except prepare his team to go on a run and potentially capture a national title. Day got the first of the four wins required to do just that and momentarily turned down the temperature on his hot seat.
"First Take tried to fire him. They thought he was done, so I'll 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's still coaching," Herbstreit said.
