re: Chip Kelly is heading to Ohio State

He's still going to have to recruit as an OC. Unless Day told him he wouldn't have to, which would be wild to hire and pay an OC to not even do a big part of the job.

It's pretty common for coordinators to have fewer recruiting responsibilities than the HC and position coaches, especially when they're might be co-coordinators to allocate different responsibilities too.

And at OSU, the position coaches are the top and primary recruiters, with Day obviously handling the typical overall recruiting. But Chip's role is going to similar to Knowles as the defensive coordinator, and Knowles has not been the primary recruiter for as many recruits as the position coaches, and Day is an offensive coach, which probably makes it easier to support an offensive coordinator.

Either way, all of the offensive coaches who were on staff last season (technically last couple seasons), are returning except Cory Dennis, the Urban's son-in-law and the QB coach. he was the primary recruiter for most, if not all the, QBs, so I'm assuming BoB's and now Chip's recruiting responsibilities would be QBs. I think that's a little easier to handle for someone who does not like recruiting, since primarily one recruit per class, and 2024 had 2 top 5 recruits, and 2025 already has a commitment from a top 5 QB recruit, who is from just an hour outside Columbus, so he's not likely to decommit.
