Ohio State Promotes Hartline to Offensive Coordinator

Following their national championship victory, Ohio State football is undergoing significant staff changes, with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly departing for the Las Vegas Raiders. In response, Ohio State has promoted Brian Hartline, a renowned recruiter and former wide receivers coach, to offensive coordinator. Keenan Bailey, previously the tight ends coach, has also been elevated to co-offensive coordinator alongside Hartline. This move aims to maintain the Buckeyes' offensive prowess, particularly in developing elite wide receiver talent. The team remains in search of a new defensive coordinator after Jim Knowles' exit. Ohio State continues to attract top recruits, including five-star prospect Chris Henry Jr., who is enthusiastic about Hartline's promotion and its potential impact on his future at Ohio State.
