The Buckeyes coach hired former UCLA coach Chip Kelly to do a job that Day has enjoyed since he arrived in Columbus.
INDIANAPOLIS — The cameras zoom in on Ohio State football coach Ryan Day on the big stage inside his conference’s most important building, and the world wants to know what he’ll do on Ohio State’s next crucial third down.
So when Day surrendered that duty this offseason, he surrendered a piece of himself. As Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer put it, Day delegating play calls “is like giving up your baby.” But they say the parent knows best. And in surrendering his football child, Day has made the most sensible, decision for his Buckeye family.
52-yard field goal on fourth-and-2 with 39 seconds remaining in the first half of last season’s loss at Michigan, fans decried Day a dummy. How could the coach trust kicker Jayden Fielding, who had never made a kick longer than 47 yards, in that spot? Why didn’t he trust an offense that averaged 6.

The coaching duo sees football similarly, in part because Day played for Kelly at New Hampshire. And as a former head coach, Kelly checks the lofty resume standard Day said he looked for during his hiring process.
Translation: Walters couldn’t surrender his identity the way Day has. To be fair, Walters didn’t get to hire his college coach. And Day hasn’t survived four games without his football baby yet.
