Ryan Day’s Heartfelt Response to His New Contract Reveals His True Character
It got so bad that his family was being targeted with hate. There was no excuse for that kind of behavior.
Instead of resorting to firing back at the fans, Day stayed quiet and focused on his work. He pulled his team back together from the heartbreaking loss and went on a College Football Playoff run that will never be forgotten by Ohio State fans.
Following the season, Day was rewarded with a massive new contract extension. He is now signed through the 2031 season that will pay him an average of $12.5 million per season.
That contract was something that he earned. He deserved that contract for the work he has put into the Buckeyes.
Shortly after landing that deal, Day made an amazing heartwarming donation of $1 million to the mental health problems at The Ohio State University Medical Center.
Day has continually proved himself to be a standup guy and a top-tier human being. He truly cares about people and he loves Ohio State.
If there was ever someone deserving of a massive apology, it would be Day. The fans owe him a lot after the way that they treated him.
Of course, tensions are going to run high when a program like the Buckeyes lose. They are expected to contend for a national championship each and every year. Losing games is not something that should be “tolerated,” but responding with hate is not the answer.
Ohio State will be looking to defend their title in 2025. Due to Day continually bringing elite talent into the program, the Buckeyes have the roster needed to make a run at doing just that.
All of that being said, Day would never expect an apology for fan behavior or notice for his donation, but he deserves it. Ohio State truly has the best head coach in the nation, both on the field and off of it.
REPORT: Ohio State Buckeyes Agree to New Deal with Ryan Day Saying Through out the season he was…
The Ohio State Buckeyes have agreed to a new deal with head coach Ryan Day
Not too long ago, the Ohio State Buckeyes’ fan base had turned against head coach Ryan Day and wanted the program to fire him. That was following the loss in the regular season finale to the Michigan Wolverines.
Since then, Day has led Ohio State to a national championship and gained all of the fan support back.
While the hate was out in full force following the loss to Michigan, Day has gotten the last laugh. Now, he has been rewarded for an impressive all-around season.
According to the Buckeyes, the school has locked up Day up to a new contract through the 2031 season.
In a statement, Ohio State announced that it has agreed to a new contract with Day.
“The Ohio State University Department of Athletics and head football coach Ryan Day have agreed in principle on a new seven-year contract that will keep Day as coach of the Buckeyes through the 2031 football season. Terms of the contract, which add three years onto his current agreement, must be approved by the Ohio State University Board of Trustees once the entire contract is completed,” the statement read.
“Valued at $12.5 million in total annual compensation, with a base salary of $2 million per year, the contract comes just over two weeks after Ohio State celebrated winning the 2025 College Football Playoff national championship after a spectacular and never-before achieved run of four playoff wins in 31 days. The national title positions Day as one of only three current collegiate head coaches with a national championship resume, joining Georgia’s Kirby Smart and Clemson’s Dabo Swinney.”
Needless to say, this is a big day for the Buckeyes’ football program. Day deserves this new contract and he also deserves an overwhelming apology from the fans in Columbus.
Day has been one of the best head coaches in the nation since coming to Ohio State. He has compiled a 70-10 record and now has added a national championship win to his resume as well. In Big Ten conference play, he is 46-5.
No school can ask for much more than that out of their head coach. Day has delivered at a high level on the recruiting trail as well. The Buckeyes constantly have one of the most talented rosters in football.
All of that being said, congratulations are in order to Day. He deserves this deal and it’s a big day for Ohio State to lock him in long-term and have him continue leading the program.
