With former Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly heading back to the NFL this offseason, the Buckeyes decided to promote wide receivers coach and a former NFL wide receiver in his own right in Brian Hartline to the role of offensive coordinator.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football coach Ryan Day is making a series of veteran hires for his staff, specifically centered around the offensive line. The Buckeyes are expected to hire Marcus Johnson and Charlie Dickey as senior analysts, according to multiple reports.

Ohio State University's Board of Trustees approved a new contract for Day on Wednesday at its quarterly public board meeting, extending his contract through Jan. 31, 2032. The extension makes Day the second-highest paid coach in major college football, as previously reported by The Dispatch.
