UCLA coach Chip Kelly is expected to become the next offensive coordinator at Ohio State, sources told ESPN on Friday. UCLA announced that Kelly is departing the program and that a national search for a new head coach has begun.

Kelly is expected to replace Bill O'Brien, who was named the head coach at Boston College on Friday. Ohio State had hired O'Brien in mid-January as part of head coach Ryan Day's move to no longer call plays and to run the program more holistically.
