Ryan Day

Karma has a funny way of showing up when you least expect it. For Ohio State’s head coach, Ryan Day, that moment came after Penn State’s James Franklin took a shot at the Buckeyes’ coaching staff by poaching Jim Knowles, Ohio State’s defensive coordinator.

In a bold move, Day stepped back from calling plays, handing the reins over to Chip Kelly, who had worked alongside Day in the past. This change allowed Day
