Is Ryan Day on the hot seat? Ohio State HC's future assessed after Buckeyes' Cotton Bowl performance 

The Ohio State Buckeyes lost 14-3 to the Missouri Tigers in the Cotton Bowl. In the aftermath, many Buckeyes fans had one demand: fire coach Ryan Day.

During his tenure at Ohio State, Day has always seemed to be on the hot seat. Coming into the game, there were demands from the fan base to fire him following their loss to arch-rivals, the Michigan Wolverines in “The Game”.

They came into the game unbeaten with a place in the College Football Playoff on the line, but the loss to the Wolverines ended these hopes. The defeat to Missouri in the Cotton Bowl has only added fuel to the speculation surrounding his future.

“Fire Day” has been trending ever since the loss to the Tigers. The general sense is that Ohio State fans are fed up with their head coach and will be happy to see him gone.
