After helping Ohio State regain its top spot in college football, Ryan Day will now make an NFL call at his own pace.
ATLANTA — Please stay, Ryan Day. Give Ohio State a chance to win back-to-back national championships. Give the Buckeyes a shot at achieving what Alabama has or what Georgia might be.
Please stay, Ryan Day, because right now you’re too good for Ohio State. This isn’t a jab at the fierce Scarlet and Gray critics who turned on you after the latest Michigan loss, but the truth. After defeating Notre Dame 34-23 to secure the program’s ninth title and first in a decade, you’re set for life in Ohio. You’ll never need to buy a drink again in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pickerington, or wherever Buckeye fans reside.
You’re a Buckeye legend, or should be. With a win percentage of .875, you’re second only to Knute Rockne among FBS coaches with at least 50 starts. Knute. Rockne.
Now the power’s in your hands. If you’re thinking about moving up, Ryan — and at this point, you should be — there’s only one place to go after Monday’s victory over Notre Dame: the place you came from, where your mentor Chip Kelly recommended you to become Urban Meyer’s offensive coordinator seven years ago.
