Ohio State University football fans have launched an online petition calling for the dismissal of head coach Ryan Day and the reinstatement of media personality Dave Portnoy following the team's loss to the University of Oregon on November 8, 2026.
The petition, which gained traction on social media, reflects frustration among a segment of the fan base after the defeat. Day has been the Buckeyes' head coach since 2019, leading the program to multiple College Football Playoff appearances. Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, has no formal coaching role with the team but has been a visible supporter.
University officials have not commented on the petition. The Buckeyes' next game is scheduled for the following week.
