Summary

Ohio State is coming off a national title which means also having to replenish its coaching staff as people leave for other responsibilities. Ryan Day has done just that by promoting Brian Hartline to being a play-calling offensive coordinator, Billy Fessler to quarterback coach and hiring Tyler Bowen as the new offensive line coach. Bring that together with running back coach Carlos Locklyn and tight end coach Keenan Bailey and you have one of the youngest staffs in college football. On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis break down the new hires and what it says about what Day might be creating in Columbus.
