Ohio State head coach Ryan Day silenced all the hot seat rumblings that surfaced after the November 30 loss to Michigan. On the other hand, some have wondered if Day would consider going back to the NFL.

Ohio State is fresh off its first national title in a decade. Head coach Ryan Day got off the hot seat and led the Buckeyes to four straight wins in the College Football Playoff, including a National Championship Game win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Oh, the bilious anger with which Ohio State football fans chanted their coach’s name after a 13-10 upset loss to mega-rival Michigan at Ohio Stadium to end the regular season. Only they didn’t chant “fire” at all, but rather a different four-letter F-word.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football coach Ryan Day had praise for defensive coordinator Jim Knowles on Sunday. While speaking at the Buckeyes' championship celebration inside Ohio Stadium, Day gave Knowles a shoutout and mentioned the defense’s dominance throughout the College Football Playoff.

Ryan Day checked off the big box of winning a National Championship earlier this month and became just the third active college football coach to do so. Day’s sixth season in Columbus is the one where it all came together and the Ohio State Buckeyes went on a magical run to win the College Football Playoff.
