Ryan Day is as savvy as anyone when it comes to pushing his thoughts out to the public. The Ohio State head coach understands how the media operates, how to stay on message and how to get people to hear what he’s saying.
Typically, he has a message he wants to get out every time he steps behind a microphone, which is a mindset that he extends to his players.
“During the season on Tuesday when our guys become available (reporters for interviews), a lot of times I'll meet with them before and just talk to them about my message for the press conference and things they need to hit on,” Day said in June in a conversation with the Ohio State Sports and Society Initiative.
