Ohio State has hired former NFL head coach Joe Philbin as an offensive analyst, per ESPN's Pete Thamel, who explained what his role will be in more detail.
"At Ohio State, Philbin will work with the offensive staff and under coordinator Brian Hartline, a former player of his with the Dolphins. Philbin, whose background is on the offensive line, will help veteran offensive line coach Justin Frye. A need emerged on the Buckeyes staff for additional offensive line expertise when tight ends coach Kevin Wilson departed for Tulsa, as Wilson had an offensive line background from early in his career.
