Why Did Ryan Day’s Family Face Death Threats Recently? What Action Did OSU HC Take Against It?

Ryan Day and the random heap of flakes have become quite synonymous since he gave it up against the annual Michigan game. When the beleaguered head coach couldn’t clinch a win against the Wolverines for the fourth straight year even after a lot of experiments in recruiting, strategy making, and the coaching style, it made him a good-for-nothing honcho in front of the entire CFB world. Fire Ryan Day hashtags started to regain momentum all over the social media walls. However, that gut-wrenching 13-10 couldn’t break Days’ confidence, even if it broke his heart. Fast forward five weeks, and Day has Ohio State on the verge of a national title. We are just a few hours away from seeing the Buckeyes inch closer to their dream or fall apart from here.

But guess what, even after the pristine progress into the postseason didn’t, at all, nullify the heat around Day and his family. The Lunatic fanbase continues playing to their strength.

Ryan Day received awful threats from fans amidst a big game crisis 

If you scout through X and search for Ryan Day, you will come across some grisly message that lies way beyond the decency line. Believe it or not, the quintessential Ohio State head coach is under gunpoint, well, literally so. People out there are threatening to claim his and his loved ones’ lives. The national championships or bust debate tragically, insensibly turned into a national championship or death deal. As gross as it sounds.

After OSU’s blockbuster victory over the Tennessee Volts a few weeks back, Kirk Herbstreit came clean on the fans’ dark reality. ‘‘I’m a friend of Ryan Day’s. He and I talk on a regular basis about more than just football, so I hear things that he and his family go through. Especially Nina, his wife. His son gets death threats from multiple, multiple people. And what it’s doing to them as a family.”

“When I hear that, it really frustrates me that he has to deal with putting an armed guard outside of his house 24/7 for his own fanbase. That hurts my heart that that is a reality for the Ohio State coach,” Herbstreit divulged the heartbreaking behind-the-scenes of a $3 million college football coach’s life.

You can no way convince a football intellectual that Day did something to deserve this kind of treatment from the fans of his school. Even dubbing it as an epitome of unfairness would be an understatement. I mean, yes, Ryan Day had his fair share of struggles in his sixth year in Columbus. He might be a bug game loser but you can’t really unsee his 67-10 record. His ability to produce prolific NFL-ready QBs every year, innovative offensive schemes to tackle high-pressure situations, and recruitment strategies would always be an asset in his resume. You failed as a fan at so many levels when a veteran coach had to turn to serious coping weapons for the sake of his mere life.

Ryan Day took major steps to ensure his family’s safety 

Day is a family man. Outside the luster of a high-flying career in college football, the 45-year-old coach loves his family, wife, Nina, and three kids like any common man next to your door. When the extremism of fame got the better of his personal life, his inner sense of safety and security, Ray couldn’t just sit still and see his family spend sleepless nights.

Ohio State head coach appointed armed force on the walk of multiple threats after severe vigilance over the social media cryptic. Maybe, at that point, that is what exactly needed to be done as a responsible husband and a loving father of two. But as a coach? Ahh, it’s really disturbing. If you know the Ohio State fans, you must be aware that they are widely regarded as one of the most passionate fan bases in the world. Sounded thrilling, right? Well, only until you accidentally come across the other side of the passion.

Ryan Day has a lot on his plate to prove right now. He has been taking care of the business ever since the Michigan woes. Just two more to go, and it’s a reverse story.

But Day can get there not only hypothetically but logically. He has not been foreign to the mistreatment from his school and the fans. Last year, a Michigan insider claimed the private investigators responsible for the NCAA’s investigation into Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing scheme. It came out hollow later, and the coach regained his lost glory.

This time, is it a national championship awaiting to be the fixer? Let time unveil its magic.
