The Buckeyes have a new playcaller in town. Former NFL head coach Bill O’Brien will be the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for the 2024-25 football season, according to a release from the Ohio State athletic department Friday. “I am extremely pleased to be able to add Bill O’Brien to our coaching staff,” head coach Ryan Day said. “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.”
