Ohio State football coach Ryan Day has had, as we say, quite a day.
In releasing defensive coordinator Greg Schiano and linebackers’ coach Billy Davis, Day made his first difficult decision as the man in charge. Some may say pulling the plug was easy since both coaches were on the hot seat for overseeing a defense that vastly underachieved this season.
Don’t be fooled. Releasing a coach is rarely easy, especially ones who are close to you.
It is personal. This was a smart and difficult decision.
This news alone would make it a heavy cycle day but he was hardly finished.
