Why do you âreally, really detest Day?â Heâs 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 thatâs not a reason to âdetestâ him. Before his outburst against Lou Holtz after last yearâs game in South Bend, what did he ever say that anyone could even criticize?
Itâs 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 didnât 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 canât be based on his personality unless youâre a bad judge of character. If itâs based on performance then I think âdetestâ is a really strong word. I could call for his firing because he canât 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 wouldnât âdetestâ him. Heâs a good and decent person. Heâd just be in the wrong job
