Ohio State Buckeyes coach Ryan Day is facing calls to step down amid his team’s disappointing end to the 2025 season. Day’s Buckeyes were beaten by Mario Cristobal’s Miami Hurricanes in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The Buckeyes lost 24-14 in what many are considering the biggest upset of the round. The Hurricanes led the Buckeyes by 14 points at halftime, as Ohio State had not scored at that point. Although Ohio State outscored Miami in the second half, the deficit was too much to overcome.
Fans are calling for Day’s sacking following the team’s playoff exit.
“WE HAVE TO FIRE RYAN DAY,” one fan exclaimed.
“Fire Ryan Day Twitter is the best because it will never ever go away,” another fan said.
“Ryan Day needs to go. Never should have gotten the HC position in the first place,” another user shared.
“If Ryan Day doesn’t hire an elite OC, fire Day effective immediately,” a user claimed.
Other X users, especially the Buckeyes faithful, flooded the platform with criticism of Day’s coaching style and skill set.
“Ryan Day taking play-calling duties away from Brain Hartline while he’s still on the sidelines is gonna be one of the all-time dumbest coaching decisions in the history of college football,” one fan pointed out.
“Another New Year’s ruined by an ill-prepared Ryan Day football team. Terrible preparation. Terrible coaching. Terrible play in all 3 phases. #BuckeyeNation,” another fan wrote.
“I love Ryan Day but he’s one stubborn man, sometimes you got to have hurt feelings to win games. It sucks but it’s life man. Fielding should not have been out there tonight. Costs us 2 championships back-to-back games,” a fan posted.
The Buckeyes’ loss to the Hurricanes followed their defeat at the hands of the Indiana Hoosiers in the Big Ten championship game. Ohio State lost that matchup by just three points, 13-10, on Dec. 6 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Buckeyes finish the year with an overall record of 12-2 (9-0 Big Ten).
