Life is good when you’re a national championship winning coach. And right now, life is good for Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. It has been a whirlwind for Day in the week following the Buckeye win over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff Championship Game. Television, radio, and public appearances have taken a great deal of the head coach’s time. And he’s done it all grinning ear to ear.
On Monday evening, Day appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to share some of the experience. He was asked a variety of questions from what the final moments felt like, to LeBron James, and even his Super Bowl prediction. You can see some of the best clips below.
