Anybody share the belief that maybe Day is hiring internally too much, and that there seems to be a lack of experienced coaches on the offensive side?

From what can be gleaned, Bailey does seem like a up and comer, and probably worth the promotion, however, the offensive staff seems to be more and more very young men, who only know the current system.

That's concerning to me.

Really only the second one and this one makes a ton of sense.

As I've mentioned perhaps too often.
Seems like a bright young coach, great recruiter and future.

My concern is Wilson was known as a guy who knew power run game, at IU and at OU (AP 2000 yard year). It was also well known he helped coach the OL (especially when Stud was here).
My sense was he kept Day honest and kept him from defaulting to his comfort zone of 4 & 5 wide pastel soft chuck and duck when the going gets tough.

My thoughts exactly. Doug Lesmerises pointed out there is a veteran brain drain with the loss of Wilson, which he is concerned with. I tend to agree. We can all predict that Hartline being made OC, which is just another internal hire.

It would be nice if there was some old veteran leadership brought in as Co-Oc to give a outside opinion to Day.

I was listening to AG on BuckeyeHuddle's podcast, and he basically said this hire is mainly due to recruiting. And he said that RB and TE coaches around the country are usually the best recruiters(he used Vince Morrow at UK as an example). Not sure who's going to be the veteran voice in Day's ear, but Bailey will bring in more talent and the TEs will be used more as weapons and not solely to block(Bailey is given credit as the main reason why Stover has been used so much).

I'd expect Frye as an OC before Hartline. He already had the position under Day's mentor with a similar system. And he also led an offense that led their conference in rushing, so that aspect may be better next season. I think Frye could provide an outside opinion, but not a veteran one

Any buzz at all about Parker Fleming's status.

Seems to me are special teams are competent.
We have a good punter and FG kicker.
Nothing else sticks out. Except for the one time this year when we needed it most the LS on the punt team didn't know the play.

Should he be a knock out recruiter given he is charge of ST only. A phase of the game that is be legislated out.
I've never heard or seen picture of him recruiting.

I'd rather have some wanna be local rapper ass ST coach. Give him a Special teams 101 book and a test.
If he passes he's hired. His many role would be recruiting. He would relate to the kids and be good at it.

With Stover returning, new tight ends coach Keenan Bailey can breathe a little easier, as tight end becomes less of a question mark for the Buckeyes in 2023 than it would have had Stover declared for the NFL draft.

Gee Scott Jr., Joe Royer, Sam Hart and Bennett Christian are tight ends already on OSU’s roster that will all be vying to earn bigger roles next season, while the Buckeyes also signed four-star Georgia prospect Jelani Thurman, who will join the fold next season as the second-ranked tight end in the 2023 recruiting class per 247Sports' composite rankings.

Keenan Bailey didn’t have to wait as long as he did to become a full-time college football position coach.

As he worked his way up through the ranks of Ohio State’s support staff from offensive intern to senior advisor to the head coach over the past seven years, Bailey received numerous offers to join coaching staffs elsewhere. But as Bailey considered all of those opportunities, he decided every time his heart was in Columbus.

More specifically, Bailey chose to stay at Ohio State every time because of the people within the Ohio State football program, from Ryan Day and Mickey Marotti and the rest of the Buckeyes’ coaches to the players he’s helped coach. Bailey said the chance to continue working with all of them made it easy to stay at Ohio State.

“The thing that my wife and I always talk about is people over places,” Bailey said during an interview with Eleven Warriors at Ohio State’s media day before the Peach Bowl. “So every time there's been an opportunity to come across a desk, it's easy to say, ‘Yeah, let's go.’ And a lot of people probably would have or told me I was wrong in not going. But if you look at every opportunity and value people over places, it's really been a no-brainer.

“There's no better people in the country (than there are at Ohio State),” Bailey added. “So it really has not been that hard of a decision to stay, if you look at it with the people over the places.”

Bailey was rewarded for his patience and loyalty to Ohio State last month when Day chose Bailey to succeed outgoing offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, who is now the head coach at Tulsa, as Ohio State’s tight ends coach.
