We media members are a little spoiled, to be honest. We get to cover one of the bluest of the blue blood college football programs, meaning the travel and pampering we receive is pretty dang cool. Another reason we are spoiled these days, though has to do with the head coach running the program. Ryan Day is not only honest and forthcoming, but he is engaging and raw, and about as professional as you can be when it comes to his media duties.
And because of that, Day was awarded the “Super 11 Coach of the Year” by the Football Writers Association of America this week. The award, given out annually, goes to the coach who provides “outstanding media accessibility to their program throughout the season, notably through consistent interview opportunities with the head coach, coordinators, assistant coaches, and players,” stated a media release from the OSU program.
Day has not only won a ton on the field, but he has been super accessible and seemingly always willing to provide his time to media outlets, charities, radio shows, and more. And he does it with graciousness, patience, and at times, some humor and tolerance. He is 70-10 during his six years at Ohio State, has a national title to boast about, four College Football Playoff appearances, and two Big Ten Championships to his credit.
Our Super 11 from the 2024 season, the best in the business in communications and media relations, including Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. Congrats to all! https://t.co/awdC7QYm2apic.twitter.com/0t0l8UZWCy

“All you have to do is watch the press conferences when it comes to Ryan Day,” FWAA president Bill Bender said in the same OSU release. “He takes questions from all outlets on arguably the largest beat in college football – and they often stretch well past what would be an acceptable amount of time to get those questions in.”
Congrats to Day and hopefully the on field results continue to happen for one of the best guys and coaches in the business.
