Sauces at OSU reveal Day isn’t loving Ohio & would love to be the coach at Boston College

Day was raised by a single mother, Lisa Day, following the death of his father, Raymond Day, on January 20, 1988, of suicide. [24] June 5, 2019, Day admitted publicly, for the first time, his father was a victim of suicide, when he was nine years old, with two younger brothers, Chris, seven, and Tim, five[citation needed]. In the same interview[citation needed], Day shared with the reporter his journey from anger and jealousy as a small boy, to one of an adult who understands, now, the profound effect mental illness can have on a not just the individual, but also the family. More than anything, he wanted to help remove the stigma attached to suffering from, and openly talking about, mental illness in today's youth. Because of this, since becoming head coach at Ohio State, Day and his wife have chosen to partner with an organization focused on lifting that stigma, On Our Sleeves, a movement begun at the Nationwide Children's Hospital. An extension of this partnership is The Christina and Ryan Day Fund for Pediatric and Adolescent Mental Wellness, which the Days donated $100,000 to initiate the fund.[25]
