Am I wasting my time on this post? 100%
Will Ryan Day be the next HC at Auburn? 99.9% no

Do we have people questioning if they want Ryan Day? Yes. So I thought I would put together the case for Ryan Day since some wouldnt want AU to hire him???
Ryan Day joined Ohio State in 2017 after a 2 year stint in the NFL working under his mentor in Chip Kelly. By 2018 he was the playcaller for Ohio State.
Ohio State since?
2017:12-2 B10 Champs/Cotton Bowl Champs
2018:13-1 B10 Champs/Rose Bowl Champs
Day Became the HC after the 2018 season.
2019:13-1 B10 Champs/Lost in the Semis to Clemson
2020: 7-1 B10 Champs/Suger Bowl Champs/Lost in natty to Bama.
2021:11-2 Rose Bowl Champs
2022:10-0 Currently #2 in the Playoffs.

Overall Record as a HC: 44-4.

His Offense Ranks at the time? In 2016 before he arrived Ohio State ranked 41st. Since?
2017:31st
Day Takes over play calling
2018:7th
2019:2nd
2020:11th
2021:7th
2022:6th

Now lets talk about his recruiting. here is Ohio States classes since he joined.
2018:2nd
2019:14th
2020:5th
2021:2nd
2022:4th
2023:6th

But how is that talent translating to the NFL?
2018:7 players Drafted 2 1st rnds
2019:9 players drafted. 2 1st rnds
Day hired as HC
2020:10 players drafted 3 1st rnds
2021:10 players drafted 1 1st rnds
2022:6 players drafted 2 1st rnds.

Last thing on Day. He coached Dewayne Haskins into a 1st rnd pick. He coached Justin Fields into a 1st rnd pick and now he has CJ Stroud who is poised to be his 3rd QB drafted in the 1st round. Pretty crazy.
