Was from Steven Godfrey this morning, so take it fwiw

Obvious connection is Justin Fields and remember, Day isn’t necessarily an Ohio or Ohio State guy. He’s a Chip Kelly protege.

Makes a lot of sense.

I should have waited to make my thread until I saw this one.

I hope Ohio St passes on Fickell.

That would make this carousel more interesting. Much more interesting. Ohio State would likely wait for Fickell, not sure ND will.

Why?

If they do he may end up in Norman playing us every year.

I love the Kelly hire but Fickell is a damn good coach and I don’t want him in the SEC.

Does OSU become the favorite for Fickell if this happens?

If true, this carousel featured Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, LSU, Washington and Virginia Tech.

That's 7 of the top-20 programs in the history of the sport in a single off-season.

Pretty much the GOAT coaching carousel.

We’ve already had:
- LSU
- USC
- Florida
- Oklahoma
- Notre Dame

All open this cycle, imagine Ohio State opening too

Ohio State would announce Fickell literally seconds after Day left.

UDub and VT appreciate the unjustified compliment. Florida won't be sending you Christmas cards.

I feel like this rumor always gets floated around when a HC puts a top QB in the draft

Here with Day and Fields
A few years ago with Lincoln Riley and Baker Mayfield
Dabo to the Texans with Deshaun Watson

This is Day saying he wants that 8 figure salary, too.

LINK -- Just click "compute winning %" and see what happens.

Virginia Tech and Washington are both in the top-20, all time, for winning percentage. No joke.

But, good call -- Florida is a really big deal, too, and they've hired a coach as well.

I think Day’s NFL ties make a lot more plausible

Why wouldn’t they hire Fickell?

I think the Bears might also reach out to Harbaugh
