Columbus, Ohio — Coach Ryan Day of Ohio State football said he has followed the Tigers this season and has respect for Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz, whom he got to know through coaching circles.

Maybe it was the humor in Drinkwitz that made him like him.

Drinkwitz was asked about matching up with Ohio State as the Selection Sunday interview with ESPN’s College GameDay panel was coming to an end. It was obvious that the fourth-year Missouri coach was ready for his farewell.

Drinkwitz said, “Hey guys, I have to make a quick phone call. Connor Stalions is beeping in here.” “I have to go; I’m trying to get some signals here. But after we’re through, I’m excited to face Ryan Day, and then we’ll continue.

Of course, the main player in the advance scouting/sign stealing scheme that led to Jim Harbaugh’s most recent three-game suspension was Stalions, the Michigan recruiting staffer.

In their 30s, Day (44), and Drinkwitz (40), both stood out to accept their first Power 5 head coaching positions. Drinkwitz used Appalachian State’s 2019 top-10 AP poll ranking and one 12-win season to his advantage when he was hired by Missouri.

Just two coaches who met while they were coaches and young coaches, and who have kind of grown to know each other over the years and supported each other virtually,” Day said of their relationship. “There seems to be mutual respect there, then.”
