Ohio State Buckeyes' head coach Ryan Day sat down with Joel Klatt on the latest episode of Big Noon Conversations. Day further expanded on his decision to give up playcalling.
A new episode of Big Noon Conversations hosted by FOX's lead college football analyst Joel Klatt was released on Monday. In the nearly 24 minute episode, Klatt sat down in the office ofThere was a lot covered during the insightful interview, but one theme came up towards the beginning of the interview and cycled back around towards the end. That theme was about Ryan Day making the decision to give up his own playcalling duties and then getting Chip Kelly to come to Ohio State.
"As you move up, you've got to give up and that wasn't easy for me," said Day. "I feel like the time is right, now. With the transfer portal, with NIL, it was more and more energy and time that needs to be focused on the players in those areas. I also think that it's going to allow me the opportunity to be more present with the team, especially later in the season."
By giving up playcalling duties, Day seems to feel that this will allow him to be even more invested in the recruits, potential transfers and current players throughout the year. Perhaps that is something already paying off as the Buckeyes currently have the top ranked 2025 recruiting class and also have numerous veterans who returned to the program for this next season.
As most Ohio State fans know at this point, Ryan Day and Chip Kelly have a long history. Day played under Kelly as the quarterback at New Hampshire from 1998-2001. After Day graduated, they both coached on the same staff in 2002. Kelly was the offensive coordinator and Day served as the tight ends coach.
