Ryan Day Bears rumor: Ohio State coach addresses NFL interest

Ohio State coach Ryan Day has denied a rumor that circulated over the weekend linking him with potential interest from the Chicago Bears. 

On Sunday, CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reported that Day’s agent, Trace Armstrong, was in talks with the Bears over a front-office role with the Bears that could have reportedly had Armstrong overseeing football operations, including the GM and head coaching position. 

However, nothing in the report explicitly linked Day to the job, other than La Canfora writing that Armstrong was a “proponent” of the Ohio State coach and that Day has reportedly been open to considering NFL openings in the last few years.
