COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said Thursday that he is "absolutely" confident that Ryan Day will be back as the Buckeyes' football coach in 2025.

Calls to fire the sixth-year coach rose among Ohio State fans after the Buckeyes lost to Michigan for the fourth straight year. Bjork, in an interview on 97.1 The Fan, said Day is the man for the job, regardless of how the Buckeyes perform in the College Football Playoff. They host Tennessee in a first-round game Dec. 21.

"Coach Day is awesome," said Bjork, who came from Texas A&M to replace the retiring Gene Smith last summer.
