The Buckeyes head coach is on top of the world after leading his side to the National Championship title, but getting to this position has been a long and challenging journey

Ryan Day got to prove one of his biggest critics wrong in person. Lou Holtz, the last coach to lead Notre Dame to a national championship, was expected to be in attendance Monday night when Ohio State took on the Irish at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Day received death threats following a loss to Michigan in November, but on Monday night, he won a national title

Following the on-field ceremony for the Buckeyes’ 34-23 win over Notre Dame Monday night, head coach Ryan Day, quarterback Will Howard and linebacker Cody Simon were being driven in a golf cart from the field to the team’s postgame press conference in the bowels of Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Thankfully, the golf cart carrying the Ohio State delegation to the media room following their win over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff championship game wasn't going very fast when it crashed into the wall. Everyone on the cart was perfectly fine. Day's face during the incident, though, said it all.

Day, who ended his sixth season as the Buckeyes head coach with his first national championship win, was a guest on "The Tonight Show" on Monday night. Day spoke with Jimmy Fallon about Ohio State's College Football Playoff run, with the CFP trophy on display in the background.

The Ohio State football coach still has a Michigan problem, but a victory against Notre Dame on Monday night would secure the College Football Playoff title.

Various websites estimate Day's net worth is around $20 million. This comes from a combination of his salary as Ohio State's head coach and varying sponsorships. Day is estimated to receive $5.69 million from brand endorsements per year. Notably, he has deals with Coca-Cola and Kroger.

Ohio State has officially arrived in Atlanta for the national title game. The Buckeyes arrived at the airport in Atlanta at about 7 p.m. Eastern, and will have two days of prep before the game on Monday night.

Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day will be appearing on NBC's "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, where he will be joined by Shailene Woodley and Martha Stewart, and a performance by the cast of the Broadway musical "Death Becomes Her".
