These analysts/assistants are hires that the average OSU fan has no clue about. But they will be some of the most hires, as they will be doing the on field dirty work training with the players while the coaches are on the road recruiting

On a sidenote, he was the defensive player who returned the Winston fumble in their CFP semifinal for a TD

Washington played was a 3/4 style stand up backer himself so he could be another piece towards becoming a multiple front defense. This doesn’t mean that he’s LJsr’s replacement in the future though. He’s mainly the replacement for LaAllan Clark

Brought over from VA Tech with Bowen. This is his version of Sollene(its a plus that he also has some OH ties). Definitely seems like a grinder in the coaching game, and he just hit his first big boy job

Well, I have time to kill today so let’s get it started. I’m sure people way smarter than me have a better list. I just went through and tried to specifically look at names that are coaching WRs now. I’m not sure if Day wants a WR/OC or they’ll do some shuffling (Bailey to WR and a new OC-only). My biggest concern is keeping that unit at an elite level (recruiting/development). Day and an OC can figure out the rest.
It’s hard to replace an NFL vet, Ohio native, young guy with South Florida connections and proven developmental skills as coach. But for current WR coaches I found:
NFL
Antwaan Randle El - followed Ben Johnson from Detroit OC to the Bears. Long NFL career and great college QB with midwest ties.
Leonard Hankerson - currently with the 49ers if Day still has a connection for that. There’s your SoFL guy coming from Miami but he’s pretty limited coaching experience.
Aaron Morehead - Eagles WR coach for the last 6 years. Short NFL career after playing at Illinois. Been coaching in college/NFL since 2009 at various stops.
College
Kenny Guiton - we know about him. Probably a little green
Deion Branch - back at Louisville where he played but one of the smartest WRs that played under Belichick if Matty P wants to make a call
There’s the obvious OC option too with Chip. But we might also get a good look at Mike
Shanahan (IU) this weekend (not related to other Shanny’s). He’s a WR coach too.

I mean, Day isn't going back to calling the plays I wouldn't think. Have to get an OC. If I'm correct OSU can only add one more assistant.

Get Chip, have him coach the tight ends. Maybe move Bailey to WR?

I think you are losing too much recruiting power to replace the spot with someone who doesn't recruit.

I want to see Day make the well thought out decision, not the fast decision to save a couple of recruits.
Knowing Day he has been planning for this eventuality and has his short list.

What happened to my ¤cash?
This is my expectation as well. All season post State Penn firing JF, his name has been tossed into every conversation. If he wasn’t creating a contingency plan, that’s a failure in his office and the AD’s.

Maybe Frank Wilson won't like Lane Kiffin, he'd slide in quite well here. I could see those two not seeing eye to eye, but imo he's a crucial one to keep for Lane.
