Ohio State University's Board of Trustees approved a new contract for Day on Wednesday at its quarterly public board meeting, extending his contract through Jan. 31, 2032. The extension makes Day the second-highest paid coach in major college football, as previously reported by The Dispatch.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football coach Ryan Day is making a series of veteran hires for his staff, specifically centered around the offensive line. The Buckeyes are expected to hire Marcus Johnson and Charlie Dickey as senior analysts, according to multiple reports.

The Ohio State Buckeyes won their ninth national championship earlier this year after a dominant run through the College Football Playoff was capped off by an impressive 34-23 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

In an appearance on Urban Meyer's podcast, Ryan Day said he knew Ohio State would win the national championship after Jack Sawyer's scoop-and-score in the Cotton Bowl.

Ryan Day has a lot to thank Urban Meyer for after years of success at Ohio. State, but one conversation stood out.
