• 0:43
  Speaker 1: One of the most popular people at that National Championship
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: celebration is going to be Ohio State head coach Ryan Day.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And if you went back about a month and a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: half in time and told people that, well, it's probably
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: not what they were expecting at that moment because Brian
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Day was not the most popular person in town. There
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: were plenty of calls for Ohio State to maybe even
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: make a change at the head coaching position. Now it
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: feels like Ryan Day has silenced his doubters. That you're
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: going to get to a little bit of a bonus
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: episode of The Daily Huddle college football podcast. Garrett Seawright
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: hosts that for us on the Buckeye Uddle Podcast Network.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: This is an episode that Garrett dropped a little earlier
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: this week and I thought you guys might enjoy. The
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: title was who still thinks Ohio State should fire Ryan Day?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: The answer, of course, is probably just about nobody. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: here's Garrett Seawright breaking that all down for you.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: If you're a longtime listener of the podcast, you maybe
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: have picked up on I don't. I don't generally do
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I told you so because because a lot of times
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm wrong, And if you're new to the podcast, Hey,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: what's something.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: How's it going on? Garrett? Stick around.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I think I've done one I've Told you So podcast
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: in the history of this show, and it was just
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: when I correctly predicted that Jayden Daniels was going to
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: win the Heisman Trophy and like August of twenty twenty three,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I said, hey, I was wrong in half my prediction
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: that LSU was gonna win the National championship and then
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels is going to win the Heisman Trophy.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Now half of that came to fruition.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: But this is I Told You So Episode two, because
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I can't help but notice that there are not many
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Ryan Day deserves to be fired people anymore. I released
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a podcast after Ohio State lost to Michigan that was
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: titled why Ohio State won't and shouldn't fire Ryan Day?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: The won't was the buyouts really high, and if you're
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: going to fire somebody because they continually lose one game
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: while still getting to the college football mountaintop over and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: over again. It felt like it was a silly decision.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: But the idea that Ohio State should have fired Ryan
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Day after the Michigan game was stupid then and it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: stupid now. It's especially stupid now after what Ohio State
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: has accomplished in the playoff.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Now did anybody see that coming? Yeah?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Kinda, Because despite the loss to Michigan, which was bad,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: there's it's undeniable that was a bad loss, there was
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: still a really strong likelihood that Ohio State was at
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: worst the third best team in the playoff.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: And I don't think you can.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I think the I think there are many SEC fans
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: that would love to tell you, well, things will different,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Things would be different if Carson Beck was still now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: No, they wouldn't. Georgia was not that good with Carson Beck, let.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Alone without him. And that might be the topic. It's
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: okay for the SEC to not be the top dog anymore,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you can handle it. That might be the conversation tomorrow.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: But it was dumb to suggest that Ohio State should
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: fire their coach who had won at a higher rate.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Than anybody else in the sport because he lost to
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the wrong team.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: If you go back, Brady Hope didn't get fired from
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Michigan because he couldn't beat Ohio State. Brady Brady Hope
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: got fired for Michigan because he's a dumb ass. Rich
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Rodriguez didn't get fired for Michigan because he couldn't beat
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Ohio State. Rich Rodriguez got fired from Michigan because he
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: had his hand on the wrong cookie jar and wasn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: coaching very well. John Cooper didn't get fired from Ohio
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: State because he couldn't beat Michigan. He got fired because
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the program started to dip and he couldn't beat Michigan.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: If you go through the annals of the history of
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: that rivalry, you're not gonna find coaches who got Jim
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Harbaugh didn't get fired by Michigan when he continually lost
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: to Ohio State. It just that doesn't happen in the rivalry.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And I think you could make a really strong argument
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: that you shouldn't just be firing dudes because they can't
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: beat the right or wrong team. That seems like a
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: really dumb decision, but I understand the importan of that rivalry.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: But Ohio State shouldn't have fired Ryan Day or thought
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: about firing Ryan Day after losing to Michigan because and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: this was like kind of the seminal point of my
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: argument at the time. If your argument is this guy
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: gets too close to the top of the college football
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: mountaintop but hasn't got to the only spot where Ohio
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: State is by themselves alone at the top, doesn't it
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: feel inevitable that that's going to happen.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And here we sit, Here we sit.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: A month and a half later, I guess probably two
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: months later, two months later, and Ohio State's at the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: top of the college football mountaintop. It is always more
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: likely that if you can get just close enough, just
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: right there, it is much more likely that you'll do
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: it eventually rather than never, rather than it will never happen.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: It is almost a certainty that if you got there,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you are going to do it eventually. There aren't many
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: times like if you and I understand that there could
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: be the argument of, like, well, do you think TCU
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and Sonny Dyke's are going to get.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Back to the National Championship game.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Well, no, probably not, but this is different. Ohio State
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: had made the College Football Playoff continually under Ryan Day.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: They had played in a national championship under Ryan Day,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: so one that kind of undercuts the argument of, like,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: this guard doesn't win big games.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. Ohio State went two and won in top
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: five games.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: This season, And I would hope that you would think
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: two teams ranked in the top five going against each
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: other would be counted as a big game. But you
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: can't make it to the national championship game, you can't
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: win the Big Ten. You can't say that the Michigan
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: game every year is a big game. When Ryan Day
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: has won against Michigan before and then turned back around
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and say he doesn't win big games, How in the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: hell can those things be true? Spoiler alert, They are not.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: So it always was more close to an inevitability rather
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: than a certainty that it would never happen that Ohio
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: State was going to win the national championship under Ryan Day.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And every other argument again, well, all the only time
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: he's been goes with Urbans players, Erwin. Myer's been gone
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: for a real long time, especially in a recruiting cycle
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: that turns over significantly faster now than it ever did before.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Ohio State won the national championship with Ryan Day's program,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: with Ryan Day's philosophy, with Ryan Day's offense, with Ryan
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Day's recruiting class, and to even have ever thought that
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: he should be fired is knee jerk illogical, irrational thinking.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: And I understand that that's what sports does to us,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: and that's part of the fun, right Being just illogical
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and knowing that laundry is what.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Pisses you off is part of the fun of sports.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: But some point you have to take a step back
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: and think, like, Okay, let's put this all into perspective.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: So I shouted from the mountaintops.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was Ryan They's biggest defender, that like, hey,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the idea of the argument to push for them, to
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: for the Buckeye Athletic Department, president, the university as a whole,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: to the idea that they should have pushed him out
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the door because he lost to Michigan. And really the
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: first game in his tenure that he had no business
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: losing is asinine, and it was asinine. It's as acdine
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: today as it was the day after Ohio State lost
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: to Michigan. And so this is one of the very
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: rare times because I don't generally believe that you should
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: think the same way I do.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I think part of the fun of college football is.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Differing opinions, differing viewpoints, different perspectives. But this is one
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: of the times that I will say I told you show,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I told you so, and you should have thought the same.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Way I did. I think.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: In my media career, I have said five times you
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: should think the way I think, and this is one
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: of those times. Ryan Day should have never been on
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the hot seat. I don't think Ryan Day ever was
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: on the hot seat. If you go back and look
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: through my Twitter mentions. There are probably too many of
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: me arguing people saying he's not on the hot seat
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: if they lose to Tennessee in the first round. He's
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: not going to get fired. Ryan Day is going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: the buck Guy's in twenty twenty five. And now it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: a clear Ryan Day is going to coach the Buckeyes
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five unless he decides he'd rather coach
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: the Raiders.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Saints, Cowboys, or Jags. That's just the truth.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And not only should you be okay with that, if
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you're an Ohio State fan, you should be.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Really excited about it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I think there are a lot of people who better
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: send an edible arrangement, some bouquet of roses, or just
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: pat the guy on the back the next time and
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: see him in the grocery store because hey, sorry, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: said some things about you that I didn't maybe mean,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: but I just was pissed off in the moment. Some
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: people o Ryan Day in apology, and I imagine he's
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: probably too classy to point that out and say, y'all,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: mother bleepers wanted to run me out of town, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: now I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Yeah, yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: you are, and that's just kind of how sports works sometimes.
