ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has had it with critics of Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day.
Even though OSU has remained a powerhouse under Day, critics have called out his lack of wins over Michigan in recent years, not to mention their performance in the College Football Playoff.
Still, Herbstreit, a former Buckeyes quarterback himself, isn’t hearing any of it.
“The 15 percenters, they get mad at anything,” Herbstreit said, via The Blade. “That percent is going to be mad at something always. [Day] could win the Michigan game, go the playoff and lose, and they’ll be mad about that. That group is just a bunch of jack***** who kind of embarrass all of us as Ohio State fans. So I don’t really care, honestly, what that group thinks. But the people who matter, the logical people who actually have a brain and understand the sport, they love what Ryan Day has done. The fact that this is even a topic is almost comical.”

Ohio State is 45-6 in four seasons under Day, which also includes two CFP appearances. That would be good enough for 98% of college football programs out there, but the expectations at OSU are what they are, for better or worse.
