Bucknuts has learned from a trusted source that Bill O'Brien will be hired as Ohio State's offensive coordinator on Friday. We first reported the news on our Front Row message board on Thursday.

O'Brien, 54, was 52-48 as the Houston Texans head coach from 2014-20. Prior to that, he was the head coach at Penn State (2012-13) where he compiled a record of 15-9 in two seasons, including 10-6 in Big Ten play. O'Brien was named the Big Ten's Coach of the Year in 2012.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day will still be heavily involved with the Buckeyes' offense, but will be taking more of a "CEO" role going forward.

What this means for current Ohio State offensive coordinator/wide receiver coach Brian Hartline remains to be seen. Hartline was OC in title only in 2023 as it was Day who called the offensive plays for the Buckeyes.
