Ohio State Hires Bill O'Brien as New Offensive Coordinator
Move Signals Shift in Program's Trajectory, with 2024 Season Viewed as Critical
- Ryan Day, Ohio State's head coach, has hired Bill O'Brien as the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, signaling a shift in the program's trajectory.
- O'Brien, who recently served as the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots, has a history of success in both college and NFL play calling.
- The hiring of O'Brien suggests that Day will step back from play calling duties, adopting a more CEO-like role.
- O'Brien's arrival also indicates a 'win-now' mentality within the Ohio State program, with the 2024 season being viewed as critical.
- Despite mixed reactions to O'Brien's hiring, his experience and knowledge are expected to benefit the team, particularly transfer QB Will Howard.
