Jan. 19—Ohio State appears set to make another headline-grabbing offseason move.
ESPN first reported Thursday night Bill O'Brien will be the next offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes.
O'Brien is a 30-year coaching veteran who most notably spent many years as a New England Patriots assistant for Bill Belichick and was the head coach of the Houston Texans for seven seasons.
He also spent two seasons as head coach at Penn State, including a Big Ten Coach of the Year campaign in 2012, and two seasons as offensive coordinator at Alabama, where he mentored Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young in 2021.
