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.

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.

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.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day made it to the promiseland and delivered the Buckeyes their first national title since 2014, but the journey was far from a fairytale, according to his family.

Ryan Day checked off the big box of winning a National Championship earlier this month and became just the third active college football coach to do so. Day’s sixth season in Columbus is the one where it all came together and the Ohio State Buckeyes went on a magical run to win the College Football Playoff.
