Even as many Ohio State fans turned on Ryan Day, his players never wavered in their support of the coach who would lead them to the national title.

The Ohio State football team arrived in Atlanta on Friday, and it didn’t take long for us to hear from head coach Ryan Day and some of the team. Not only did Day provide some comments directly off the plane on the tarmac — which seems like an odd place to hold a press conference — but he came back on Saturday with some media availability as well.

Holtz, 88, reignited their feud last week on X when he wrote that, “If Notre Dame doesn’t win, it’s because we want to preserve Ryan Day’s job. I was originally going to be at the game in spirit, but now I’ll be dragging my body along as well.” He was responding to a tweet wondering if he would attend the showdown.

Instead of a smooth ride through the tunnels at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday night, Ohio State coach Ryan Day found himself in a precarious situation. Day and several others were on a golf cart that crashed while trying to make a turn that it just absolutely could not make — which made for a pretty hilarious scene after their national championship victory.

Ryan Day deserved to feel vindication when he won a national championship less than two months after it seemed his Ohio State job was on the line.

Following the on-field ceremony for the Buckeyes’ 34-23 win over Notre Dame Monday night, head coach Ryan Day, quarterback Will Howard and linebacker Cody Simon were being driven in a golf cart from the field to the team’s postgame press conference in the bowels of Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The longest college football season ever, starting in August and ending on Inauguration Day, became an Ohio State coronation.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day and quarterback Will Howard were a bit late for their postgame press conferences after winning the national championship on Monday night in Atlanta. They didn’t get caught up in a celebration — their golf cart crashed into a concrete wall on the way to the interview room.
