OSU (gene isn't pulling the strings) backstabbed tress and gave a mega contract to the biggest name out there and a win at all costs guy in urban.

the defense the past 2 seasons was a disaster* so they gave 2 mil to Knowles to run the show.

OSU seems pretty invested in winning.

It's just not a rational move to fire Day right now and something like that could backfire horribly. But you have Hartline who looks like a HC in waiting but same deal with Day in that he has no HC experience. And I have no idea if Vrabel would come back to college but that's a name I would throw out there. Other than that there aren't any obvious choices waiting in the wings.

*Day's hiring of Coombs was by far the most fireable thing he's done since he's been here
