With news of newly hired offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien departing to take the head coaching position at Boston College on Friday, the Buckeyes were left with vacant offensive coordinator postion to fill.
That didn’t last long however as just after the news to O’Brien’s departure, it was reported by The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman that the Buckeyes were bringing in Chip Kelly to be their offensive coordinator.
The hire makes a lot of sense given that Kelly and Ryan Day have experience working together and Kelly is accomplished as an offensive mind at the college and NFL level.
Here is a brief coaching history of the newest Buckeyes coach.

Pretty wild that Chip Kelly was Ryan Day’s OC at New Hampshire during Day’s playing career and now Kelly is Day’s OC again 25 years later at Ohio State.
