Coaches Who Could Fit the Bill If Ohio State Hires A New Quarterbacks Coach and Offensive Play Caller

Nearly a week into the offseason, one of the biggest questions looming over the Ohio State football program is whether Ryan Day will bring in a new offensive play caller and/or quarterbacks coach.

There’s a strong case to be made that he should after Ohio State’s offense had by far its worst season of his tenure in 2023, averaging only 30.5 points per game – more than 10 points fewer than any of his previous seasons on staff.

While Day has continued to call offensive plays and spend much of his time working with Ohio State’s quarterbacks throughout his first five years as the Buckeyes’ head coach, the decrease in offensive performance this season suggests it’s time for Day to start delegating that responsibility.
