"Ryan Day is 81-10 as the head coach of Ohio State, including 11-0 this year as the Buckeyes try to repeat as national champions. It's a breathtaking run of success. Yet Day is famously 0-4 against Michigan over the past four years, including a shocking home defeat to a middling Wolverines team a year ago. Another loss Saturday in Ann Arbor, especially as an ESPN BET 11.5-point favorite, would invite continued scorn and frustration."
"Kiffin has yet to publicly declare where he will work next season -- let alone the rest of this season. It might be LSU. It might be Florida. Or it might be Ole Miss, where he has the 10-1 Rebels ranked sixth heading into Friday's Egg Bowl at Mississippi State. "An announcement on Coach Kiffin's future is expected the Saturday following the game," Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter wrote in a statement."
Ryan Day is 81-10 as Ohio State head coach and 11-0 this season while still 0-4 against Michigan over the past four years, creating high-stakes scrutiny for a single rivalry game. Lane Kiffin has not publicly declared his next destination and is linked to LSU, Florida or a continued stay at Ole Miss, where the 10-1 Rebels are ranked sixth. Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter said an announcement is expected the Saturday following the Egg Bowl. Reported family visits, cryptic social-media posts and a delayed decision have amplified pressure, turning the Starkville game into a must-win for Kiffin.
