Ryan Day faced growing criticism during and after Ohio State’s loss to Michigan on Saturday in Columbus, the second straight loss in the storied rivalry.

Day has largely exceeded expectations in most other metrics for the Buckeyes, except the last 2 seasons against the Wolverines have caused Ohio State fans and some media to call out his coaching. Calls of “John Cooper 2.0” and Michigan being Ohio State’s kryptonite under Day were some of the ways fans described the latest loss.
