One of the first things people notice about Ryan Day is his cheeks.
They’re rosy red. Sort of like Santa Claus'. And people often wonder the reason for it, especially after his journey to become the head football coach at Ohio State.
“I thought he had the red cheeks because he was always cold,” said Christian Leibl-Cote, a former teammate of Day’s at the University of New Hampshire.
New Hampshire head football coach Sean McDonnell had a different theory.
“I didn’t know if he was red-cheeked because he was pissed off or something,” McDonnell told USA TODAY Sports this week.
