Ryan Day has experienced the best and worst of what college football brings as head coach of one of the preeminent programs in the sport. Day broke through to win his first national championship as Ohio State coach earlier this month, less than two months after many fans wanted him fired after the Buckeyes' fourth consecutive loss to archrival Michigan.
Day did not entertain any openings during the NFL's coaching cycle, despite plenty of speculation that he might want to leave Columbus, Ohio and its rabid fans behind. Day is no stranger to the pro game, having coached quarterbacks under Chip Kelly for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 and San Francisco 49ers in '16.
