Part 4/7:
This loss sparked serious discussions regarding the future of head coach Ryan Day. While his record stands at 66-10, the stark reality is that he has a persistent "Michigan problem." The critical examination of Day's leadership raises the question: how many chances does a coach have against an arch-rival before being held accountable?
Many fans and commentators suggest that Day's time may be running out, especially if he fails to lead the team deeper into the playoffs or even to a national championship. The immediate pressure is mounting. For Ohio State's administration, the tenacity required to win a national title needs to manifest quickly, or consequences may arise.
