If he loses to Michigan again he is not as safe as you may think. How many swings at the plate are they going to give him? He has the game at home so that helps but if he loses at home....ruh roh!!
If the unthinkable happens and he loses to PSU earlier in the year (I know this never happens but we are sneaking up on the once in a decade timing). That would mean 2 losses and precariously close to not making the playoffs or at best going on the road for a first round playoff game. Finishing next season with 3 losses punctuated by a first round playoff loss does not bode well for Ryan Day's job security.
I get it, his record is really gaudy, he recruits well, no one else could do better...... However. the bottom line at good old OSU is beating Michigan and winning a NC. Beating Michigan State and even Penn State every year is not good enough. Also, if he has lost 4 straight to Michigan, you gotta believe they could corral some other coach into Columbus who could do better and beat the fighting Jimmah Cheaterines.
