Arr! Ye hear the news, me hearties? Bill O'Brien be settin' sail for college football once again! He be joinin' Ohio State, aye, as their new master o' offense, guidin' 'em under the command of Captain Ryan Day!
For the third time in his career, Bill O’Brien, the veteran coach, is making his way back to college football. He has reportedly joined Ryan Day's coaching staff at Ohio State as the new offensive coordinator. O’Brien had previously served in the same capacity for the University of Alabama and the New England Patriots. However, his time with the Patriots was not successful as they struggled and had a 4-13 record, leading to O’Brien's departure.Ryan Day, who had been calling the offensive plays for Ohio State, will now hand over the reins to O’Brien. Brian Hartline, a former NFL receiver turned coach, who was promoted to offensive coordinator last season, will now serve as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. Corey Dennis, the former Ohio State quarterbacks coach, is expected to transition into a different role within the program.
O’Brien's offensive scheme proved to be successful with Alabama's Bryce Young winning the Heisman Trophy in 2021. However, he didn't have the same success with Mac Jones and the Patriots last season. Regardless, O’Brien will have plenty of talent to work with at Ohio State, including Emeka Egbuka and running back TreVeyon Henderson.
Ohio State fans are hoping that O’Brien's offense will be installed quickly and run to perfection. O’Brien understands the importance of winning, having been a head coach at Penn State and the Houston Texans. After Michigan won the national title last year, Ohio State is determined to get back to beating their rival, as they haven't been successful in their last three meetings.
Overall, O’Brien's return to college football brings excitement and anticipation for Ohio State fans, who hope that his offensive expertise will help them reclaim victory over their rival and make them one of the top teams in college football next season.
