Six Potential Candidates to Replace Chip Kelly As Ohio State’s Offensive Coordinator

Ohio State is searching for a new offensive coordinator for the third time in two years.

When Ryan Day decided to give up offensive play calling last season, he initially hired Bill O’Brien to run the offense and coach the Buckeyes’ quarterbacks. When O’Brien left just three weeks later to become the head coach at Boston College, Day hired Chip Kelly to fill both roles. After one successful season on the job in which he helped the Buckeyes win a national championship, Kelly is now headed to the NFL to be the Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive coordinator.
