I trust in Ryan Day who is basically learning on the job because before Ohio State he has NEVER been a head coach on any level. Cant say the same about Cooper, Tressel and Urban. But he's getting it as time goes by and I believe in him. Hes a relatively young coach. And one thing he has learned is having the right assistants. I love how willing he is to change certain things when they don't work.

[@JonMacTavish]

The only Buckeye game I've ever seen was in 1973 vs Michigan State. Archie was his amazing self in the first half, but most of the starters were pulled in the third quarter (OSU won 35-0). What an amazing experience.

[@bkpa4455]

Not many programs can boast they have a two time. Archie Griffin is truly one of a kind and the ultimate number 1 buckeye legend.

[@joaquinbello1871]

not many programs can because no one else has a two time winner. Archie is him

[@DistrictFire]

The greatest ambassador for OSU ever. Pure class.

[@jeffreyleohner3247]

I met Archie in San Antonio, Texas! I grew up watching him play in the mid 70’s while growing up on Portland Maine!

[@dchall8052]

Coach Ryan Day thank you for being the leader you are. We believe in you.

[@erikwill2891]

Archie is the freakin man! All Buckeye fans recognize your class and greatness Ryan Day is the right leader for OSU football. I know that 2 straight losses to TTUN hurts but Coach Day is a fantastic leader of men

[@D_Shep343]

There couldn’t be two better people to represent Ohio State.

[@jv1817]

What an incredible human being Archie is. I remember getting a Polaroid and an autograph with him at a Kroger in the 1980s as a kid.

[@dsgp7835]

In 1974, at nineteen years old, a buddy and myself rode our Harley's out west on an unforgettable adventure. While stopped at a Montana roadside rest for a stretch, a couple of older gentlemen started a chat with us asking about our journey. One of them noticed our Ohio license plates and made the comment, "Ohio, that's where great football players come from". Archie was all over the national sport pages at that time and I'm sure that inspired his comment. We both took great pride in what was said and agreed wholeheartedly. I can vividly remember that fifty years later.

[@toddbrown6004]

That's just awesome. What a great memory to have. Love all of it...well done seeing the West too.

[@DeonteDaddyish]

That’s awesome, two greats 🙏🏾 praying that God bless you both even in your big years

[@aprilezell3784]

Love this conversation. Love that Archie was a buckeye in my teens and now I love Ryan Day and the current buckeyes. So proud of this program!

[@marycooley4943]

Great conversation really like this format❤

[@casteine]

I live for these types of interviews. Go Bucks!

[@dougrockhold723]

Archie Is plain and simple Ohio State Football i feel blessed to have been a freshman in HS as he was doing great things and it was a golden era in Ohio State Football .

[@TeriyakiSky]

COACH DAY WILL DELIVER A CHAMPIONSHIP! Please do not fire one of the most winningest coach in history because of MICHIGAN. He will have his day. Just look at coach Smart , it took time for him to get past the sec but now is having his day in the sun. Let’s stay here . We believe in Coach Day

[@tomb9297]

Two class guys!!!

[@NCISfanatic21]

Crazy to believe Ryan Day wasn’t born yet when Archie Griffin played

[@mrdestiny2011]

***We love u Archie!**** Go Buckeyes!

[@anuraagparchuri1653]

Respect from a Michigan fan. Greatest rivalry in sports.

[@tykroner1133]

For whatever reason, the legend of Archie Griffin seems like it was so long ago, I’m always expecting him to be a crippled old man who has a hard time speaking. He looks and sounds FANTASTIC for his age. Love this guy - couldn’t be more respectful. O-H! 🤙🏻

[@UncleRicoOSU]

This series was a great idea

[@chuckkanoy827]

Great interview. Perspective appreciated.

[@douglashall2141]

I remember when I was young watching very few times on television Archie Griffin run from freshman year all the way to senior year. And later on John Hicks moved down the road from us in the country. And became one of my best friends, I was only a teenager then but when I had my graduation party he came. And they all heard that we boxed in our upstairs, and one of the neighbors wanted to box me because I knocked out his son during a match. But my younger brother was I believe much better, so the man challenged him, and got knocked out, and John Hicks laughed the laugh that I love and miss. And he is missed dearly. I remember one game attack or tried to go over the top of him and he showed him off with just his arm. And it's so wonderful to hear Archie give him credit. He was eventually drafted by the New York Giants, and got injured and had to retire. And John was a great man, and so is Archie. Buckeyes forever

[@thechief717]

Watched the home games with my 18-20 BWHS high school friends that attended TheOSU 1972 thru St. Paddy's Day 1977 and witnessed Woody, Archie, Pete, Corny dominate everyone @ The Shoe' ... Great times! Go Buckeyes!

[@billytuesday4492]

What a great ambassador for our program!

[@lindzbreezyoh]

2 GOATs! Natty or bust! Let's gooooo!

[@Superfreq69]

Great Interview! This year, Embrace the Ego! Ego translates to ! AM. Its the expression of the Heart. Thats what we had . We need the ego and Intensity-not `leaving the ego at the door~ We need to express this confidence in Big games... where talent is equalized

[@DonnieSexyBear]

What a fantastic video

[@stevenmerrell08]

Coach Day is my favorite all-time Buckeye coach. This conversation with Archie is gold.

[@hummushero9428]

A Great Back that people seem to never talk about is Pepe Pearson, he had over 1400 yards in 1996 one of the ten greatest single seasons in school history, I know he had a tremendous Line in front of him, but he was a great player that season.

[@toddbrown6004]

Well done. Agreed.

[@Al-Rudigor]

I loved Carlos Snow and Robert Smith.

[@hummushero9428]

@@Al-Rudigor Robert is arguably the most talented Running Back in Program History. I know he did have the numbers that some other guys did, but look at what he was able to do in the NFL, he was on his way to the Hall of fame if he didn’t retire early to save his body.

[@Al-Rudigor]

@@hummushero9428 man I loved to watch that Vikings team.

[@peterk7662]

Nothing like it🙌. Go Bucks!

[@Buckeyman55]

It's so true about no matter where you go, if you wear a OSU shirt, or hat, like i do 95% 0f the time, you'll get a O-H out of the blue, and it will force a immediate smile on your face, and you will yell back I-O....... I drive a semi , and just 2 weeks ago i was in Lubbock Tx. and was walking across a Walmart parking lot to just go browse around, and a car drives past me, honks his horn, and yells, O-H and you already know the rest gentleman, I-O.... Love the job your both doing, and keep up the fantastic job that you do representing our great University. O-H

[@oldben1800]

legend....and a true OSU passionate

[@72seeker72]

Archie is one of the Greatest Treasures of OSU. LEGENDARY PLAYER; BETTER PERSON.

[@SlickRicWhite]

Loved this. Coach Day forever

[@BUCTOWN_BULY1990]

This is a classic!!!🌰GO BUCKS!!!🌰💪🏾O-H!!!💪🏾🌰

[@travisshuttleworth630]

Top notch! O-H!

[@nikkischeffel]

I-O

[@nikkischeffel]

Just so you know we now live in Vegas. You cannot walk the strip with Ohio State gear on without the O-H-I-O back and forth. We are truly everywhere.

[@Psarms]

@@nikkischeffeleverywhere but the big ten championship 😂

[@kyleibsen6]

Gotta go undefeated this season coach 🌰

[@willtolbert682]

we believe in you ryan

[@fcruz43215]

Our honor defend, we shall fight to the end... Class of '96

[@DaneClark-qi9en]

Interesting to here northern coaches talk about a southern treat pecan rolls...should also enjoy the pecan 🥧 pies try them to .. they're both a big traditional treat in Georgia and throughout the southern states that grow pecan trees to make these delicious delicates .

[@SeminoleWind]

Ryan Day seems like a classy gentleman.

[@freeone5534]

Just win coach Day just win! GO BUCKEYES ❤

[@drnantz]

Dobbins was a bad ass. In 2019 he had over 2,000 yards and 21 touchdowns. Tell Duncan I said hello.

[@tylermayes2907]

GO BLUE!! 💙💛〽️🇺🇸 see ya in November

[@susanjoycesabo8450]

They both look like they could still suit up and play.

[@cylack]

Archie is the 🐐

[@sircobbb6498]

The way he though how he ain’t lose to Michigan out there 🤣

[@rwalk8551]

YESSIR.......GoBucks ‼️

[@paisleyfamily5972]

Pete Johnson!

[@bacanator95]

Is “that team up north” Michigan?

[@sfkrew13]

The new tradition is to get smacked by Michigan 〽️

[@BurnellBrownIII]

I got faith in you koach . I surmise its diffikult to shine thru the shadows of Koach Woody, Tressel, and UrBan. If anyone is kapaBle, its aBsolutely you. We still w/ u. MayBe throw some more "pow-O" options in the offense & God willing our Bullets kan fly on defense this year. ( And if you listen to random fans advice, why not go ahead and make Koach Larry the highest paid defensive koach in footBall.. Love Koach LJ.)

[@AkronKid330]

Just bring us the Chip! We've heard all the same small talk before. Do what you gotta do to beat Xichigan and SEC team. Go Bucks!

[@user-by7ug6js4f]

Can't lose on the big stage again. It's been 9 yrs. Tired of it. Watched 2015 natty last night.

[@markstandohar5977]

Day didn’t know the term “Script Ohio” lol - “the O,the H,the I,the O” 😂tough for me to look at him, he shrunk from the moment in 4th quarter against Georgia, played ‘not to lose’ with lead and cost Buckeye Nation a Natty - those chances don’t come around often, he choked

[@moorebounce]

My Mount Rushmore of Ohio State running backs is 1. MAURICE CLARETT. He's my number one because if it weren't for the racist John Delaney OSU could've won at least one more National Championship because of Maurice. 2. ARCHIE GRIFFIN. He's number 2 because he didn't win a National Championship. 3. EZEKIEL ELLIOTT. 4. EDDIE GEORGE. it was a toss up between him or KEITH BYARS for he number 4 spot.

[@Tjclue5]

GO BLUE

[@72seeker72]

LOL!

[@RackGuerra]

We gotta beat TTUN this year coach day 😒 O-H 🌰

[@Caviarhound]

Cryan Ryan

[@baburo101]

Has Day lost some weight? 🤔

[@indianaboy3166]

Coach, Sir, not to tell you how to do your job, but stop punting, go for it. Doesn't matter the situation. I do it on my Playstation all the time with like a 90 percent success rate. Have your people call my people if you need more tips I got you. O-H

[@travisshuttleworth630]

I-O!

[@kevinhackethal2263]

I love ryan day because i hate ohio state football

[@vector150]

He talks tradition but can not beta that team up north. I think he is over rated.

[@ohiostateman740]

It's do or die this season
