Make or break year for Day with the fanbase. Nice guy with worthy tax write-offs won't cut it if he falls to 1-2 against tun.

I was going to mock this, but you're probably right that there would be some idiots out there who would want Day fired if he were to lose to Michigan.

Yes, the idiots would want him fired. I'm not necessarily talking about that group. It's more or less a statement about legacy. JT and Urban set the bar incredibly high (and recent). I don't think it's much of a stretch to include the fact that the talent differential is at a historic OSU advantage as well.

Most Coaches in general use “coach speak”, and Ryan Day is one of the few who shoots it straight and let’s you know how he feels. And he’s not afraid to make to make changes to make sure the team is at their best. He was no where near this confident the last 2 years in the defense. He sounds very excited to get the 1st game started and see how this new defense will perform, I’m sure even more so than the offense.

Tonight was actually one of the more impressive wins of the Ryan Day era. His beloved passing game wasn't clicking, his best WR was hurt, his team had a 4 point lead late and 95 yards to travel. So what did he do?
He put together a 14 play TD drive to ice it, with 10 running plays. It probably felt like ripping out one of his lungs, but he put his head coach hat on and called what was needed, even if it went against every fiber of his offensive being. That's a sign of growth. You're a head coach, not just an offensive coordinator. Recognizing what you team has, and needs, in a late game situation and acting upon it.
While we felt frustrated for much of this game, how the Buckeyes won it may prove very beneficial in the future.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day reaffirmed his commitment to the Buckeyes on May 18, signing a contract extension that would keep him in the scarlet and gray until the conclusion of the 2028 season.
According to a copy of Day’s contract agreement obtained by Buckeye Sports Bulletin, Day saw his annual compensation rise from $6,600,000 to $9,500,000 from 2021 to 2022. His expected base salary, from a previously agreed-upon contract amendment, rose from $1,550,000 to an annual base of $2,000,000 along with monthly payments of $166,666.67.
Day will be eligible for base salary increases at the discretion of athletic director Gene Smith and the Ohio State Board of Trustees.
Since its implementation in July, Day will earn a monthly payment of $436,666.67 in exchange for media appearances, promotions and public relations services — which will total $5,240,000 yearly. This number is up from an expected previous total of $315,833.33 per month — $3,790,000 yearly — which was agreed upon in a previous extension.
Beginning on Feb. 1, 2023, Day will earn an annual $1 million retention payment from the university. If Day is to terminate his contract prior to Feb. 1, 2023, he will be required to pay the university $5 million within 45 days of termination. That potential payment total decreases by $500,000 each year that Day stays aboard at Ohio State and drops to as low as $750,000, if he is to terminate his contract between Feb. 1, 2028, and Jan. 31, 2029.
Since taking over the Ohio State football program, Day has amassed a 35-4 record, two Big Ten championships, two College Football Playoff appearances and a Rose Bowl victory

Ohio State's new offensive mindset and new defensive look has Buckeyes thinking big
Pete Thamel ESPN
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Punt to win.
In Ryan Day's football life, that phrase hasn't exactly held a prominent place. Consider that Day played quarterback for Chip Kelly at New Hampshire, oversaw the nation's highest scoring offense last year at Ohio State and has earned a reputation as a fourth-down swashbuckler.
But three times on Saturday, Ohio State punted on the types of fourth-and-short situation where Day may have felt compelled in the past to take a gamble. Most notably, Ohio State punted on a fourth-and-2 from their own 38 while trailing Notre Dame, 10-7, in the third quarter.
Day chuckled after the game when the punting decisions came up, admitting he thought back to Ohio State's 35-28 home loss to Oregon last year. Ohio State went 2-for-5 on fourth-down conversions in that game, spending the game scrambling -- and failing -- to get out of an early hole.
"I actually thought back on the Oregon game the year before, when I went for it in the same spot," Day told ESPN. "But I had confidence in our defense. Some people aren't used to us punting in that spot. But you have to punt there.
"We pinned them (near) the 10. You have to play the field position game. I think when you're in games like that, you have to be really smart about field position. And that's not something that we're used to, I guess."
Day isn't about to channel his inner-Ferentz, but the 2022 Buckeyes' identity evolution are indicative of the program's off-season overhaul. In the wake of that Oregon game, Ohio State went into a defensive spiral that saw OSU finish No. 59 nationally in total defense. The sum of the talent at Ohio State clearly wasn't indicative of the parts.
With a more sophisticated scheme on defense thanks to new coordinator Jim Knowles and an energy bolt on the offensive line from new coach Justin Frye, there's a comfort -- and perhaps an eagerness -- to play more conventional football and grind out wins.

Ryan Day is 38-4 as a head coach, but this is the first time he appears to have a fully armed and operational death star. They're clicking in all phases and kicking the shit out of everyone in their path. Now he just has to keep these guys focused and continue to look for areas for improvement and they are going to be damned near impossible to beat. This will be his toughest test yet.
