I CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S LEAVING: Ohio State Head Coach Ryan. In a move that has caught fans and analysts completely off guard, Ohio State University head football coach Ryan Day has officially ended his contract with the Buckeyes after receiving a jaw-dropping $62.5 million offer from an undisclosed organization. The development broke early today and has quickly become the biggest story in college football.
Ryan Day, who took over as head coach in 2019, has been a key figure in Ohio State’s continued success. Under his leadership, the team remained a Big Ten powerhouse, consistently made College Football Playoff appearances, and helped develop top-tier talent for the NFL — especially at the quarterback position.
Day’s decision to leave marks a major shift for Ohio State. Known for his composed leadership and innovative offense, Day was not only a fan favorite but also one of the most respected coaches in the country. While the exact details of the $62.5 million offer are still unknown, it’s believed to be either from a high-level NFL team or a major college program looking to bounce back into national relevance.
Ohio State’s athletic department has yet to name an interim or permanent successor, but Athletic Director Gene Smith is expected to act quickly to keep the program stable. Several high-profile names are already being floated as possible candidates, including current top assistants and prominent coaches from around the country.
Buckeyes fans are reacting with a mix of shock and appreciation, taking to social media to thank Day for his time and leadership while expressing uncertainty about what lies ahead.
As Ryan Day moves on to the next chapter of his coaching career, Ohio State now faces one of its biggest transitions in years. His departure is more than just a coaching change — it signals a new and uncertain era for one of college football’s most storied programs.
