Ryan Day is built to handle the pressure of coaching at Ohio State

There is always uncertainty in a college football program when there is a head coaching change, but things have seemed to go a little smoother for Ryan Day at Ohio State, who is taking over for the retired Urban Meyer. Some of the concerns about Day stepping in as head coach have been calmed since Ohio State got a sneak peak of Day at head coach last year when he was Ohio State’s interim head coach for the first three games of the season.

Even though Urban Meyer was still Ohio State’s head coach last fall, athletic director Gene Smith picked the brain of Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione on how he knew Lincoln Riley was the right choice to succeed Bob Stoops.
