Watch what Ohio State head coach Ryan Day had to say about winning B1G Coach of the Year

Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day won B1G Coach of the Year, and he talked about it with the Big Ten Network.

Ohio State’s Ryan Day won Big Ten Coach of the Year as decided by the media.

Minnesota’s head coach, P.J. Fleck, won coach of the year as nominated by conference coaches while Day won the one given away by the conference’s media.

As for Day, he is the university’s first winner of the award since 1979, the year he was born. That said, Day has been nothing short of spectacular in his first season in charge.

The Buckeyes are entering the Big Ten Championship Game with an unblemished 12-0 record.

They are one of three Power 5 teams that are still undefeated, and however, Saturday unfolds, Ohio State is still a virtual lock for the College Football Playoff.

They can thank Ryan Day for all the success.

He’s coalesced the talent on this team and made a cohesive group that is an absolute force. Here’s what the always-humble Day had to say on winning the award.

This will be just the first of many awards heading Ohio State’s way. Chase Young has already won B1G Defensive and Defensive Lineman of the Year, and it’s likely they’ll also have the Offensive Player of the Year as well.

Overall, Day has been the voice of this team, and he’s been outstanding as the unanimous leader so far this season.

Not bad for a first year head coach.

Breaking: Ohio State’s Ryan Day wins B1G Football Coach of the Year

He’s done it. In his first season as Ohio State’s head coach, Ryan Day has won the Dave McClain Coach of the Year.

Ryan Day, Ohio State’s first-year head coach, has won B1G Football’s Dave McClain Coach of the Year.

He has become the first Ohio State coach to win the coveted award in the last 40 years. OSU’s last Coach of the Year was Earle Bruce in 1979. Just a fun fact, Day was born on March 12, 1979.

That said, Day has led the Buckeyes to a perfect 12-0 start with top wins over Wisconsin, Penn State, and Michigan. The Buckeyes are the last standing undefeated Big Ten team.

While this will certainly be an honor to him, Day knows the road doesn’t stop here.

The team will prepare for a rematch with Wisconsin Saturday and then hopefully onto the College Football Playoffs which they may be a lock for even in the worst possible scenario.

The interim head coach last season while Meyer was suspended and then the offensive coordinator, Day has done a terrific job with the Buckeyes, a team not preseason picked to win the conference.

The committees didn’t overlook the talent on the roster; they overlooked Day. He’s a leader and a top-tier one at that. Let’s hope Day’s magical season can continue Saturday.
