“I don’t think anyone should be fired”: Keyshawn Johnson shares opinion on Ohio State head coach Ryan Day
Keyshawn Johnson shared his thoughts on Buckeyes coach Ryan Day’s future. Following a disappointing Michigan game, fans asked for Day's dismissal from the job. Johnson offered his two cents, saying:
“I don’t think anyone should be fired but in here, he’s gotta figure out a way to win against Michigan and figure out how to get Ohio State to a national championship. That’s just the reality of it; the expectations are huge at the Horseshoe. So far, no good."
“They (Ohio fans) are just talking. They get caught up in the Michigan, the team up North hype,” he added.
Ryan Day revealed that he was disappointed at the result during his weekly news conference on Wednesday.
“I have a great job, one of the best jobs in America," Day said. "It’s a challenge at times. I’m disappointed about this more than anybody. It crushes me. I was in shock after the game. When you come up short in The Game, it’s devastating. But we still have a great opportunity in front of us.”
Despite their painful loss, Ohio is still expected to make the playoffs.
