In a move that has electrified Buckeye Nation, Ryan Day has announced that he will remain the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team — but with a twist. Day has accepted a newly created senior coaching advisory role with the NCAA, a position that will allow him to help shape the future of college football while continuing to lead one of its most storied programs.

Fans and analysts had speculated for months about Day’s future, especially after reports linked him to NFL openings and administrative positions. But the 46-year-old coach put those rumors to rest during a press conference at Ohio Stadium, where he confirmed his dual commitment.

“I’ve been blessed to coach at a place like Ohio State, and I’m not done here,” Day said. “This program means everything to me. I’m staying to finish what we’ve started — to take this team back to the top of college football.”

Day’s new role with the NCAA will focus on advising national strategy around athlete development, program integrity, and the evolving Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) landscape. While it’s largely an off-field position, it positions him as one of the most influential voices in the sport.

Day has already cemented himself as a modern Buckeye legend. Since taking over the program in 2019, he’s led Ohio State to three College Football Playoff appearances, a national championship game, and multiple Big Ten titles. His career record of 64-9 includes historic wins and a dominant recruiting track record.

University officials were quick to express their support. Athletic Director Gene Smith, who is set to retire later this year, called Day’s decision “a turning point for the program and for college football.”

“This isn’t just about Ohio State — Ryan is stepping into a national leadership role, and we’re proud to support him,” Smith said. “But make no mistake: he’s still our head coach, and our goal remains a national championship.”

As preseason camps begin, excitement is mounting. With a loaded roster featuring returning quarterback Julian Sayin and a top-ranked defence, the Buckeyes are entering the 2025 season as early national title favorites.

Ryan Day’s message is clear: he’s not going anywhere — except forward.
