Ohio State football is among the premier programs in college football.
With numerous five-star recruits eyeing Columbus as a potential home along with some of the top transfer portal players having Ohio State on their mind, the Buckeyes are often part of the routine news cycle.
So, when their head coach loses his fourth straight game to a rival in what the majority of fans would deem the most notable rivalry in college football, there are going to undoubtedly be calls for his job.
That’s the type of pressure Ryan Day is under.
However, he expects to be the head coach next season, although some analysts have been suggesting he be outed regardless of how far he goes in the College Football Playoff.
Questions about Ryan Day’s job security had little effect on Ohio State when the early signing period opened Wednesday.

According to the Columbus Dispatch’s Bill Rabinowitz, Day expects to be back in Columbus next season. He had a quick and short “yes” when asked.
The Buckeyes are going to have decisions to make, and for Day, success in the upcoming single-elimination tournament could help his cause. However, the damage may be irreparable without a championship in Columbus.
