On Thursday, the Ohio State Buckeyes' social media shared a hilarious clip of the players imitating their coaches. The team took turns impersonating the habits and personalities of the coaches. Even head coach Ryan Day was not spared by his players.

Fans were left in stitches with the Ohio State players' imitation of Ryan Day and his coaching staff. They took to the comments to react to the hilarious impressions.

"Peoples impression of Coach Lock got me crying. He definitely running sprints for that," another fan said.

Ryan Day made a few changes to his coaching staff for the upcoming season. After the departure of Chip Kelly to the NFL, he promoted Brian Hartline as the team's new offensive coordinator. The Buckeyes also lost defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to rival Penn State.

However, Day brought in Matt Patricia as Knowles' replacement. He also hired Tyler Bowen as the Buckeyes' new offensive line coach and promoted Billy Fessler as the new quarterbacks coach.

Josh Pate makes argument for Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes

Winning a national championship should be considered a successful campaign for Ohio State by fans. However, some fans are still sour about their loss at home to their biggest rivals, the Michigan Wolverines. After their 13-10 loss to the Wolverines last year, Day is 1-4 against their rivals.

On Wednesday, CFB analyst Josh Pate talked about the Buckeyes' 2024 campaign. He shed light debate about Day's success last year while losing at home to the Michigan Wolverines and its impact on his career in Columbus.

"If we were presenting Ryan Day as the debate topic in class, it'd be so much fun," Pate said. "It's so easy, here's how it would sound. Someone would say, 'Ryan Day's proven himself now. He's won the national championship. He's erased all doubt.'"

"I could say, 'well yeah, but by the old standard, he would've fallen flat on his face again last year.' They lost two games in the regular season. The thing that only saved him was that he got back in because of a new playoff format and then went on a hot streak that they should have looked like all year." (TS-1:00 onwards)

The Ohio State will take on the Michigan Wolverines later on this year in November. They will be on the road and travel to Ann Arbor for the highly anticipated rematch. Can Day finally end his losing streak against his biggest rival?
