The day Urban Meyer was hired I began to dread the day he would leave.
But I am positively excited about what comes next with Ryan Day.

Schiano with the absolute poker face in the background. I can see why he and Belichick get on so well

RYAN DAY TAKES WHISTLE FROM URBAN MEYER TO OFFICIALLY BECOME OHIO STATE HEAD COACH
After Clemson shut out Ohio State in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl, embarrassing the Buckeyes with a 31-0 show of dominance, Urban Meyer made a declaration, he made changes, then he got results.
"We will become a good passing team, we will. Next year,” Meyer said after the loss.
So, he replaced Tim Beck and Ed Warinner with Kevin Wilson, a former Oklahoma offensive coordinator and Indiana head coach, and Ryan Day, an up-and-coming offensive mind who had most recently worked as Chip Kelly’s offensive coordinator in the NFL. Meyer hoped Wilson and Day could revolutionize an offense with a seemingly floundering passing attack.
It's hard to imagine he had any idea one of the men he hired would eventually replace him as head coach. Day, who had never been a head coach and had never been an offensive coordinator at a higher profile college program than Boston College, helped transform the offense, though, and became Gene Smith’s pick once Urban Meyer told him he intended to retire.
Less than two years after being named co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach and less than a year after earning a promotion to offensive coordinator, Day officially became the 25th head coach in program history at midnight following Ohio State’s 28-23 victory in the Rose Bowl.
“It's an amazing feeling. It is,” Day said in the locker room after the victory. “To be the leader of such a special place, special group of men, this program, Buckeye Nation, it's an honor.”
If he’s feeling the pressure of following one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time, he hasn’t shown it.
Having served as acting head coach throughout fall camp and during the first three games of the season, Day has no misconceptions about the job. He knows what he got himself into. The expectations. The pressure. The intensity of the job. Meyer felt like reminding his successor again a couple days ago.
“I told (him) at the press conference with Ryan Day: Here's your job,” Meyer said on Monday. “You beat the rival. Every other game you have to win as well. Every player has to get drafted in the first two rounds. No off-the-field issues, and never lose to that rival. And, by the way, your classroom, you're dealing with 31 ACTs on the average. And I looked at him and I said: 'Go get it, tiger.' That's what it is.”

I’m excited to see Coach Day start his era, learning from one of the best in history I think he has some great potential. I just hope to see him keep the Ohio culture keeping top Ohio talent in Columbus and of course keep the train rolling on TTUN. My gut feeling says we are in good hands.
