Playing career
Day attended Manchester Central High School in Manchester, New Hampshire.[1] A quarterback and defensive back, he was the state's Gatorade Player of the Year for his senior season.[1] Day attended the University New Hampshire. Playing for then-offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, Day set four career records at UNH, including completion percentage and touchdowns.[2]

Day was the offensive coordinator for Temple in 2012, as well as the offensive coordinator for Boston College from 2013 to 2014. He was hired as the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterbacks coach on January 22, 2015.[3] However, in 2016, after being relieved of his duties in Philadelphia, he was hired in the same role by his mentor Chip Kelly, who became the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.

After being linked to the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator position in January of 2018, Day was promoted to offensive coordinator and primary playcaller at Ohio State. On August 1, 2018, he was named acting head coach at Ohio State when head coach Urban Meyer was placed on administrative leave[4] after alleged domestic violence incidents against then-fired assistant coach Zach Smith were made public.
