Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has entered the Ohio State-Michigan chat.
The NFL superstar, a self-proclaimed Buckeyes fan, hopes the program will take over from head coach Ryan Day after a disastrous fourth straight loss to rival Michigan, which erupted into chaos Saturday after the Wolverines planted their flag at midfield.

“I never want to hear the name RD (Ryan Day) again,” Crosby said on his podcast “The Rush,” referring to Day. “Bring back Urban (Meyer). Bring Urban back – I won’t watch a game again until Urban Meyer is the head coach of the team. I refuse.”

Crosby, who grew up in Michigan and played at Eastern Michigan, said he grew up supporting Ohio State, but after a 13-10 loss to the glutton, he is not aiming for his team to take home the national title.
“They’re done,” he said. ‘I hope they fail. I want them to lose so Day gets fired, sorry.”
Crosby reiterated his desire to “bring Urban back,” adding that while Day is a “good guy,” Meyer is exactly what the Buckeyes need.

BIG TEN ISSUES HEAVY FINES ON MICHIGAN, OHIO STATE AFTER POSTGAME MELEE
“He’ll attack you verbally, but he wants to get your guys ready to win.”
Ohio State was favored by 21 points over an unranked Michigan. But a shocking loss knocked Ohio State out of the Big Ten title game, and calls to fire Day followed almost immediately after the final whistle.
Speaking to reporters this week, Day said he was “in shock” after the loss, but that winning a national championship could save his job.

“We had an opportunity to win the national championship and you know, everyone around here has been really supportive and focused on that,” he said. “And that’s really it. And I know what the work is. I know where the focus should be. And beyond that, there hasn’t been much communication.”
