The Ohio State Buckeyes had a disappointing end to the 2023 college football season with losses to the Michigan Wolverines and the Missouri Tigers in their final two games of the season. But it sounds like Ohio State is making a pretty major move to improve the coaching staff ahead of next season.
On Friday morning, the Ohio State Buckeyes announced that the team would be hiring Bill O’Brien as the team’s new quarterback coach and offensive coordinator.
“I am extremely pleased to be able to add Bill O’Brien to our coaching staff,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said in a statement on Friday, according to Eleven Warriors. “He brings with him a wealth of knowledge – and a tremendous amount of success – at both the NFL and collegiate levels. He is an excellent and experienced offensive coach who has run NFL and Power 5 programs and developed some truly elite players throughout his career. He’ll be an excellent teacher and recruiter for us, and he absolutely strengthens our staff.”
O’Brien has had a lot of success at both the NFL level and at the college level, serving as a head coach for the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Houston Texans before becoming the offensive coordinator of the Alabama Crimson Tide and the New England Patriots.
We’ll have to see what he brings to Ohio State.
