When it comes to developing quarterbacks, Ryan Day knows what works.
He’s proven that the past two years, helping Dwayne Haskins and Justin Fields become Heisman Trophy finalists while they led Ohio State offenses that both ranked in the top five nationally. Day has a system for developing quarterbacks that he believes in, and he doesn’t want anyone to come in and try to change that.
So when Day – who was previously the Buckeyes’ quarterbacks coach before becoming head coach a year ago – was faced with the reality of having to replace Mike Yurcich as Ohio State’s quarterbacks coach after just one season, he saw no reason to conduct a nationwide search and look for someone who might bring different ideas to the table.
