Already in the midst of a defensive coordinator and offensive line coach search, head coach Ryan Day is now leading the Ohio State offensive coordinator search following Chip Kelly’s decision to return to the NFL as the offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Buckeyes were spectacular offensively in the College Football Playoff, averaging 36.3 points per game. Now Day will sift through the Ohio State offensive coordinator candidates looking for the best candidate to build on that and maximize the talent of elite receiver Jeremiah Smith next season.
Will Day turn the play-calling duties completely over to Brian Hartline, who had offensive coordinator added to his title before 2023, or go with an external hire?
