I've been happy to see that people haven't been jumping into the toxic behavior of tOSU fans towards Ryan Day. Prior to this game, they wanted to FIRE the guy and he has one of the best records of any coaches. Absolute madness.
I hope with our greater expectations we don't become greater assholes.
I don't think anyone is yet but tOSU fans were with Ryan Day. The question is in two/three years when we haven't brought home the natty, will Duck fans be contented being a top 5 program?
That's basically where Ryan Day is, and it's all kinds of bonkers when you look how long it took Saban, Smart, Sweetney and other modern coaches. There's only three active coaches with a natty and Ohio State dorks were acting like spoiled children.
Assuming we continue to recruit and develop out our program, we're going to eventually get one. I just hope fans don't become toxic if when it doesn't happen immediately.
The only way I could see the fanbase turning on Dan is if we are rolled in our biggest games like what OSU just did to us. If the team just looks absolutely unprepared and like they are giving up year after year. Same could be said if he continually is overly aggressive and it costs us multiple games (seems to have already outgrown this issue). Neither seems like likely scenarios to me, but again I think those are only way people start calling for his job.
