Ryan Day isn’t known for his flair.
The Ohio State coach could double nicely as a mattress salesman, local TV ads and all that. He’d blend into the background. That’s why it hurts so much to watch what’s happened to him.
He deserves better. Sure, he’s a millionaire many times over and has the Buckeyes on the cusp of a College Football Playoff National Championship appearance. Ohio State might have the best roster left in the field, which is reflected by the Buckeyes becoming the betting favorite to win the whole thing.
Day also looks like he’s coaching angry. He’s had enough — of the fans, of the blame, of what the job has become.
Day has that look because he has in his pocket what might be called the ultimate “F–you” card. For those with certain sensibilities, we mean “Forget you.” That is, forget you who have doubted him.
