Going into his 20th season as the head coach at the University of New Hampshire, Sean McDonnell says he has been fortunate enough to coach several players who have demonstrated the qualities to become great coaches themselves.
One of those players was Ryan Day, who is now the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and for the time being, the interim head coach at Ohio State.
A native of Manchester, New Hampshire, Day was the starting quarterback for UNH from 1999 to 2001 – McDonnell’s first three years as the Wildcats’ head coach – and was hired to be the Wildcats’ tight ends coach straight out of college in 2002.
