It’s tough to think there’s any new head coach that can match the level of success Urban Meyer enjoyed, but with what Ryan Day has done this first year, it’s a fair question.
I’m not saying Day is going to take this team to three national titles in five years, but it’s clear he has the makeup to get the job done at Ohio State. There’s a lot of built in advantages in Columbus, but it’s not like just any coach can win, and win big there.
When Ryan Day was asked what his first win over Michigan means to him, the first words out of his mouth were, “I know what it means to everyone in the state of Ohio.” #hegetsit

But with his ability to still recruit at a high level so far, the eye and desire in hiring coaching talent, and his confidence in play calling, he has all the tools you want in someone that can steer the Buckeye ship at a high, high level.
All that being said, I think Ryan Day will be known as one of the best coaches in college football if we fast forward five years from now. He’s a bright one, and he’s a star in the making in the same cloth as Urban.
I tried to tell some Michigan fans that he was a star, people just didn’t know it yet. I wonder if they know it now?
