Ohio State Fan Launches Petition Calling for Ryan Day Firing and Dave Portnoy Reinstatement

Ohio State Fan Launches Petition Calling for Ryan Day Firing and Dave Portnoy Reinstatement
World Sports · 09:58:28 - Tuesday, 10 November 2026

An Ohio State fan has launched a petition demanding the firing of head football coach Ryan Day and the reinstatement of media personality Dave Portnoy to the Big Noon Kickoff broadcast, according to a report from HITC.

The petition reflects growing frustration among a segment of the Ohio State fanbase regarding the football program's direction under Day, who has compiled a strong overall record but has lost three consecutive games to rival Michigan. Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, was previously part of the Big Noon Kickoff pregame show on Fox Sports.

Details regarding the petition's platform, number of signatures, or specific grievances were not immediately available. Neither Ohio State athletics nor Fox Sports has issued a public response to the petition.
