Why do you “really, really detest Day?” He’s a really nice guy. What has he done that you detest? You can say that he was in over his head starting his first head coaching job at a place like OSU but that’s not a reason to “detest” him. Before his outburst against Lou Holtz after last year’s game in South Bend, what did he ever say that anyone could even criticize?
It’s been kind of interesting watching fans of other teams develop their hatred of Ryan Day. They hate Ohio State so they have to hate the coach but Day was a total unknown to them when he got the job and didn’t give them any material to use to justify their hatred. So they mostly attacked his hair. You say you have a soft spot for OSU so what gives? Why the hate? It can’t be based on his personality unless you’re a bad judge of character. If it’s based on performance then I think “detest” is a really strong word. I could call for his firing because he can’t beat Michigan, win a Big Ten Championship, or a National Championship, goals 1, 2, and 3 (in that order) for a Buckeye coach. But I wouldn’t “detest” him. He’s a good and decent person. He’d just be in the wrong job
