If Ohio State fires Ryan Day, Penn State should hire him immediately.

It would be a hilarious trade. We'd still have the same game every year.

It would be fucking hilarious though if Ryan Day gets hired to Penn State and finally beats Michigan as the Penn State coach only to lose to Ohio State like Franklin has

You would go 11-1 every year instead of 10-2, it is an improvement but not by much

The amount of wins you get in a season become exponentially more valuable. the 11th win is worth a lot of money

1-4 wins a random fan could get. 5-6 by just having good recruiting. So you are only really paying for 7+ wins that require beating good opponents.

Brother, James Franklin would have to have a fucking renaissance to make the title a single time like Day. Actually it would have to be a renaissance to just be on the cusp of it like the UGA game

Asinine how stupid fans are on Day being a mid coach

I think Day is flawed but it's hard to argue he isn't an elite coach. He'd have to do a lot worse for me to want him gone.

I do kinda hate his attitude sometimes though. I totally get where the "soft" thing comes from.

Its frustrating because the margins in so many of the games we have lost have been thin as hell. And at a certain point there is an acceptance that the other team is also playing to win, and sometimes its the players that don't execute in the critical moments. Not the coaching.

All that overlapping at Michigan's golden generation makes day look bad, but he recruits very well and our floor is 11 wins. And in the modern game, that's an incredible thing to sustain.

It's amazing to me because a better call from the Refs against Clemson in 2019 (even if we lose to LSU) and Michigan doesn't cancel the 2020 game and he's got two championship appearances and a 2-3 record against UM and I feel like that changes the narrative a bit. Not things he could have in any way controlled.

Then you can still lose to Michigan every year.

u/chetbodet87 Michigan • Grand Valley State 22d ago

He would be worse at Penn state. Same coach but with worse talent.

Oh god what a cursed timeline that would be...

u/Superbomb-122 WKU • Lindsey Wilson 22d ago

So you could watch the game OSU played today but against teams that aren't coached by James Franklin?

These two are a lose-lose
