Day started at quarterback for three years under Philadelphia head coach Chip Kelly while the two were at the University of New Hampshire.

He showed an ability to adapt his style to the team’s talent during his two years running BC’s offense. In his first season he organized a power running attack behind Heisman finalist Andre Williams, who rushed for more than 2,000 yards. Last season, Day took advantage of quarterback Tyler Murphy’s running ability and mixed in an option game that helped knock off then No. 9 USC and lead the Eagles to a 7-6 record.

BC head coach Steve Addazio was able to keep his entire staff in tact from his first season to his second season, but now he will be looking replace one of the most important members of his staff going into year three. Day not only ran the offense but was a key recruiter for the program.
