Ohio State Buckeyes' Ryan Day Drops Bold Statement About New OC​

Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day spoke out with a bold statement about his new offensive coordinator.

“Now, he’s going to be coordinator. Now he’s going to call plays. That loyalty and that patience is going to pay off, and I think he’s going to be the best coordinator in the country," Day said

Hartline could have left and found an offensive coordinator job elsewhere. He could have let his ambition get the best of him and missed out on this opportunity.

Instead, he continued showing loyalty to Day and Ohio State. Now, he's being rewarded for that loyalty.

Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Hartline has a very talented offense to work with. Julian Sayin is expected to be the starting quarterback and will have Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate as his top two wide receivers. James Peoples and CJ Donaldson are expected to be a lethal one-two punch at running back.

There are a lot of reasons for Buckeyes fans to feel that their team has a chance to repeat as champions. It won't be easy, but the talent and coaching staff are both elite.

All of that being said, it will be interesting to see how Hartline does during his first year calling the plays. He's an elite offensive mind and he has earned this opportunity.

Hopefully, he does an amazing job and makes Ohio State fans forget about the elite season that Kelly had in 2024.

Just sayin':

I don't see Hartline as a significant downgrade from Kelly. Of course, Kelly is far more experienced, but he also called Nebraska and tcun last season and, for all the talk in retrospect about preserving the team for the playoffs, it didn't look all that great at the time throughout the season. Yes, we won it all and Chip called a great playoff run, but it would've been nice to see that all along. I think we're going to see a better offense this year, not solely because of Hartline, but certainly with his contribution.

1. FIFY, makes Ohio State fans forget about the elite POST season (or 4 game run in the CFPs) that Kelly had in 2024.
2. There is no way you could say Kelly had "an elite day play calling" on Saturday, Nov 30, 2024...........

“I FEEL LIKE I HAVE GROWN.” Ohio State made Brian Hartline’s promotion to offensive coordinator official at 11 a.m. Thursday. One hour later, Hartline appeared on The Bobby Carpenter Show with Anthony Schlegel to discuss Ohio State’s national championship run and his excitement to lead the Buckeyes’ offense in the future.

On what he’s learned since becoming an offensive coordinator in 2023​

“The main objective is to learn as much as I can. I want to be – this sounds weird – but I want to be the smartest guy in the room every time I walk in that room, football-wise. I love receiver play. I know receiver play. I’ll go toe-to-toe with anybody on that subject. But when it comes to football in totality, Coach (Ryan) Day is so impressive. To have Coach (Chip) Kelly come in the room and have his depth of knowledge-filled man that I know for football. I just wanted to learn. People were like, ‘You were the coordinator, now you’re not the coordinator, how did you feel about that?’ I was like, ‘Guys, hold on. My main goal is chasing Coach Day. I am not worried about what tag I have to be in this room. I have no interest in that.’ So, it was an easy transition whatever transition we thought that was. I just tried to add value.
“Learning from Coach Kelly was phenomenal – I pray I could have had two years with him – but he was very smart. He knew where he could let water roll off the duck and not really worry about it, but he also knew where he had to stand firm. Learning that balance is critical. The way he spoke to his staff and communicated, I think, was really, really important. I think he did a great job of demanding the offensive staff to improve and holding them accountable. That’s the biggest thing. He’s the head coach of the offense. That’s the mentality. So, learning how these guys operate has been so valuable.
“To answer your question, I feel like I have grown. My knowledge base on everything two years to be the coordinator (compared) to where I am now, I think I am lightyears ahead of where that was, and it’s all because Coach Day gave me the opportunity.”
