Reportedly Bill O'Brien close to becoming the BC head coach. I think that is a excellent hire if they want to up their investment in the football program.
OT Bill O'Brien to BC

Good chance Al Washington will then go to BC as its defensive coordinator. Washington Is a BC alum.
Not sure there is a connection between the 2 coaches....who knows?
OB has been a head coach at Ped State and Houston Texans so expect he has a big network of assistants to draw from.
Maybe he got a look at the Buckeye's anemic offensive line and decided that adding a new QB & running back was not going to fix matters.
Wasn’t Brian Hartline the OC last year? Is he still on the Ohio State coaching staff? I thought he was a hot offensive coach?
"Wasn’t Brian Hartline the OC last year? Is he still on the Ohio State coaching staff?"
Yes -- Hartline was the "OC" last fall, but Day still called the plays. And yes, he is still on staff with OSU -- still the WR coach. And still bringing in enormous talent to that room.
It was his first year as an OC and he was clearly not ready for it. Day needed to bring someone in that could basically run an offense and that's where he went with BoB and now Kelly. I'm sure Hartline will still remain Co-OC with a nice paycheck but Kelly will be the true OC and play caller.
