Skull Session: Michigan immortalizes that infamous Block M flag, Ryan Day isn’t the next John Cooper yet and Javon Bullard receives an NIL deal at Marvin Harrison Jr.'s expense.
Here is how Mandel answered that question:
But Day also has one distinct advantage that Cooper did not. There was no national championship game much less a Playoff for most of his tenure. Had there been even a four-team CFP, his team would have made it in 1995, ’96 and ’98. If one of those makes it through and wins the whole thing, he’s viewed more like national champions Tressel and Meyer are today.
First, Mandel states that Day's winning percentage of .882 is more similar to Tressel's and Meyer's than it is to Cooper's when it comes to overall success in the regular season and the postseason. This is a positive for Daybeing the next Cooper, as his percentage is second-best among the four coaches and the far above Coopers. If Day maintains that pace of wins and losses, which we should expect him to, he will always have that distinct advantage.
However, I can make this connection: Cooper and Day combine for zero national titles regardless of the championship format. Cooper finished second in the AP Poll twice and ended the regular season with one loss four times, just missing the mark on a title. Day has reached the playoff four times, losing in the semifinals twice and the CFP title once, just missing the mark on a title. Add in that Michigan was a thorn for Cooper and has been one for Day, and you can certainly see the connection.
It would appear Bullard has also failed to remember what all went down with Ohio State fans, Harrison and More Than Sports. In an interview with, Bullard feels honored to have the dessert named after him and finds the deal amusing.
