Ohio State fans seem pretty tired of Ryan Day, and there’s one man whose name will only grow more popular in Columbus in the weeks to come.
Former Buckeyes player and coach Mike Vrabel is currently a consultant with the Cleveland Browns, but he’s going to be a popular candidate to take over in Columbus if the school parts ways with Day after the season.
Of course, Day could still win a national title with Ohio State in the 2024 College Football Playoffs and make this whole conversation moot.
However, it might require a championship to keep Buckeyes fans from yearning for someone like Vrabel, since Day has struggled so much against Michigan over the years.
Vrabel found success with the Tennessee Titans as their head coach, so it’d make sense for him to want another NFL job in the 2025 cycle.
However, if he wants to go back home to Ohio State, the New England Patriots legend might have a red carpet welcome for him if Day can’t bring a championship back to Columbus this winter and gets fired.
At the least, Ohio State fans are dreaming of a Vrabel return, and folks are making the connection.

Ryan Day is a good guy but it’s clear now he isn’t it. Ohio State should be on the phone with Mike Vrabel already.
Fight on the field was one of most embarrassing things I’ve seen in a bit. Teaching players to win and lose like an adult is part of your job as a coach.

Fire Ryan Day. Hire Mike Vrabel and bring some heart to Ohio State. Full stop.

Hot take from a friend who is a buckeye fan:
“Ohio State needs to fire Ryan Day and hire Mike Vrabel.”
Y’all agree?

Ohio State needs to call Mike Vrabel right this instant. Not in the offseason, right now. Honestly, just send a cab up to Cleveland
