Ryan Day has the second-best winning percentage through three years of any Ohio State coach, though he hasn’t yet won a national championship like Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel did.
If there was any doubt that Ryan Day’s first three years as Ohio State’s head coach should be considered a success, OSU made it clear this week just how highly it values its fourth-year leader of the football program.new contract
that will pay the Buckeyes’ head man $9.5 million this year on a deal that now runs through 2028. That contract makes Day one of the five highest-paid coaches in college football and ties him with Michigan State’s Mel Tucker for the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten. There’s little question Day deserves to be compensated as one of college football’s elite coaches, considering Ohio State has been one of the top six teams in the country in all of his seasons as head coach so far. Day has continued to be viewed as a candidate for NFL head coaching jobs, too, giving Ohio State more incentive to ensure he’s completely happy in Columbus.any time soon, and that certainly looks to be true now that he has a new contract in hand.
Aside from Meyer, no other Ohio State coach has won more consistently in his first three years than Day, who lost just one game in each of his first two seasons – both in the College Football Playoff – before losing two regular-season games last year.
While Jim Tressel won one more game in his first three seasons than Day did, none of those seasons were shortened by a pandemic. He coached in four more games and suffered three more losses in his first three years than Day did – though he inherited a program that had gone just 14-10 in its previous two seasons, whereas Day took over a program that had won at least 11 games for seven straight seasons under Meyer’s leadership.
