Ryan Day's coaching strategy evolves as Ohio State prepares for 2026

Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day is undergoing changes as the 2026 season approaches, emphasizing a more hands-off coaching style. After struggles in 2023, Day has brought in Arthur Smith as the new offensive coordinator, hoping to replicate the success of previous seasons. Day's successful tenure includes a national title in 2024, but inconsistencies last season raised questions about his play-calling strategy. With quarterback Julian Sayin leading the offense, Day aims to fix previous shortcomings as the team starts preseason camp this week.
