So I wasn't including urban florida time. And just incase in matters I'm not a Day apologist. I was definitely a fire him after the game this year guy. This is more of me just sitting and thinking while I drank my morning coffe in silence before work. I just wonder if because Urban won a NC so soon and he took care of TTUN. If we give him more grace for his tenure. After 14, we had very bad hires, bad games, embarrassing Playoff loss. I am in not way saying Day is above any of those coaches you listed. And all of these guys coaches in much different eras of each other so it's very hard to go Apples for apples. I do think Day has faced and coaches in a completely uncharted time in college football. NIL is a big change to how you can coach and also how yiu can even recruit. Now I think given time urban would have mastered it. But it all boils down to TTUN. If day was 4-2 or crazy even 6-0 like urban, we would be putting him up there and maybe even a head of him if you compare the two. This is just some shit I'm wondering and maybe even a little devils advocate. Just having fun with talking to the army. Thanks for the convo armyAre you considering Urban's time at Florida when you discuss this? My other point is that we shouldn't penalize Urban for a random loss to a shitty team even if it's a blowout since those games don't matter in hindsight, especially now. We all know the 2018 team was definitely one of the four best in America, and I would honestly rather lose 5 games and beat TTUN than lose to TTUN and go to some bowl game or lose in the CFP (I still watch the highlights from The Game 2004 today but I don 't do that with any of 2022 Ohio State's games). The committee made a dumbass decision picking OU over Ohio State that year.
My pecking order of Ohio State coaches goes (including their accomplishments at other jobs):
1. Woody Hayes
2. Urban Meyer
3. Jim Tressel
4. Paul Brown
5. Ryan Day
Ryan did a great job in those four games, but if u wanna rank him higher, he needs a second outright win against TTUN (I'm getting sick of talking about that COVID game, that shouldn't be our only "win" in the last 5 years against those bastards) and he needs to do a good job replacing this staff and players to climb that ladder.
