Ryan Day Trusting His Instincts As He Looks to Make His Own Mark on Ohio State’s Football Program

Ryan Day just signed his first 15 recruits as a head coach on Wednesday, and after Urban Meyer coaches his final game in next Tuesday’s Rose Bowl, he’ll officially become the commander-in-chief of Ohio State’s football program.

Given that Urban Meyer just announced his retirement as Ohio State’s head coach on Dec. 4, Day hasn’t had a lot of time to sit back and think about how he will lead the Buckeyes going forward. Having been focused primarily on recruiting for the two weeks leading up to the early signing period, and now focusing his efforts on helping the Buckeyes prepare for their New Year’s Day game against Washington, Day will be jumping right into his new role after a strenuous month of work.
