Ohio State’s Ryan Day Speaks Frankly About Job Security
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has made it clear how he feels about his job security heading into the 2025 college football season.
Just a few months ago, Day was essentially coaching for his job. After Ohio State suffered its fourth consecutive loss to Michigan, fans were calling for his dismissal. However, Day quickly turned things around, leading the Buckeyes on a remarkable College Football Playoff run that brought the program its first national championship in a decade.
As a result, Day has secured his position as Ohio State’s head coach for the foreseeable future, and he appears to be in a confident place now.
Speaking to reporters before spring practice on Monday, Day discussed his mindset and made it clear that he feels much more at ease now.
“I’m definitely more relaxed, Jeremy,” Day told Jeremy Birmingham of Rivals. “To say I’m not would be crazy. There’s no question. We’re in a different place than we were a couple of months ago. Let’s just call it what it is.”
This marks a stark contrast to the uncertainty Day faced a year ago, entering the 2024 season unsure of what the future would hold in Columbus.
Today, Day’s job security is as solid as it gets. With a 70-10 record as Ohio State’s head coach, he boasts the highest active winning percentage among Division I coaches.
It’s clear that Day’s newfound relaxation could be a positive for the Buckeyes as they approach the 2025 season.
