You see, Ryan Day has a Michigan problem. It was only a couple of months ago that the same Ohio State fans who are celebrating this contract extension were calling for Day to be fired after his fourth-straight loss to the Wolverines, this time at home as 19.5-point favorites.

Day succeeded Urban Meyer as coach in 2019 and has a 70-10 record. His .875 winning percentage is the highest among active coaches. He is one of only three active coaches – Smart and Clemson’s Dabo Swinney are the others – to have won national championships.

Fresh off a national championship, Ohio State football and Ryan Day have agreed to a seven-year contract extension.
