HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Every team – ultimately successful or disappointing – begins the year with “a lot of new faces.” The teams that end the year the best typically view those new contributors as obstacles rather than assets.

Saban understands the annual churn as much as anybody else in college football. Ensuring the new guys are every bit as good as the highly impactful players exiting the program on a yearly basis is exactly how you reload instead of rebuild.

Given the talent that’s been coming into Ohio State ever since Day took over, putting together a group that can compete with the best of the best should be doable. But doing so with consistency is what separates those at the top of the profession.

Saban has turned Alabama into a machine, bringing in top-of-the-line talent, winning hardware and churning out upper echelon NFL talent. He turns the Crimson Tide into national title contenders annually. Day has begun to turn on what might be a machine. He’s twisting the knobs, changing the gears, testing things out. So far, so good.

This fall, Day will try to build on the success he has already experienced as he enters his third season at the helm – and first without Fields.

I can only look back and laugh at my own concern when we lost Urban and hired Day. It was a sincerely held concern at the time, but we've got an absolute rockstar at the helm and hopefully for a long time to come.

The assistant coaches are rock stars too.

KERRY COOMBS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
KEVIN WILSON OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/TIGHT ENDS COACH
LARRY JOHNSON ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH/DEFENSIVE LINE COACH
GREG STUDRAWA OFFENSIVE LINE COACH
TONY ALFORD ASST. HEAD COACH FOR OFFENSE/RUNNING BACKS COACH
BRIAN HARTLINE WIDE RECEIVERS COACH
AL WASHINGTON LINEBACKERS COACH
MATT BARNES SECONDARY COACH
COREY DENNIS QUARTERBACKS COACH
PARKER FLEMING SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR

Other than Al Washington and (maybe) Tony Alford I think the other assistant coaches aren't really looking to go anywhere else. Hopefully there will be some continuity with the assistant coaches for a long time to come too. In addition, let's hope Larry Johnson puts off retirement for several more years.

“Ryan and Nina are prominent members of our Buckeye community and have long served as well-spoken and highly recognized ambassadors of all Ohio State has to offer; it’s both fitting and exciting that our 2020 graduates and their families will have the opportunity to hear their inspirational message,” Ohio State president Kristina Johnson said in a news release.

I don't know how you don't buy into Ryan Day's next five years. What does he not have? Because everything to me, he's a B+ or better in when it comes to the elements it takes, the characteristics it takes to succeed at the highest level. An assassin as a recruiter; he's got a whole staff of assassins as recruiters. Phenomenal development at Ohio State. The ability to evolve, the ability to adapt. He understands the formula for success. And I'll tell you what else he understands, the formula for long-term, sustainable motivation.

It doesn't come out of preaching disrespect and using bulletin board material. Case in point, last year going into that semifinal game when they played Clemson and there was some of that yapping coming from down near Clemson, Ohio State, not only did they steamroll them, they had every reason after that to find the nearest live microphone on that field and say, 'Everything they talked about all week and all month and whatnot, that's what fueled us.' They never even mentioned that. They just talked about, 'worrying about ourselves, we focus on a process, it's all about internal, intrinsic this and that.'

Man, that's not coach speak. That's a philosophy. That's sustainable too when don't rely on anything else and you know the fuel source is inside your own program and inside your players and you can get them to believe that, that's elite leadership. It's hard to do that. That's why so many people don't achieve it. Ryan Day commands authority. Never had a track record as a head coach and yet immediately, day one, the moment he's announced, he's got everyone's attention. I'll circle back to that in a second because that in and of itself is big. He's just elite. In every aspect of leadership, Ryan Day is elite. So I keep asking people, who I get push back on on this particular topic especially on, I just ask what is it he lacks? And you can point to the trophy case. I'm not a believer that you always have to see it achieved before you believe it's possible.
