Bill O’Brien is heading to Ohio State.
According to ESPN, the former Houston Texans and Penn State coach is reportedly set to be the new offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes. O’Brien spent the 2023 season as the New England Patriots’ offensive coordinator but was available after the Patriots parted ways with Bill Belichick after the season and elevated Jerod Mayo to head coach.
Before he ran New England’s offense for a second time, O’Brien was the offensive coordinator at Alabama in 2021 and 2022. O’Brien was the coordinator as Bryce Young won the Heisman Trophy in 2021 and Alabama scored 40 points per game in each of those two seasons.
