So that Will Howard did a decent job here in Columbus, huh?

He's off to the NFL. That means another Buckeye will need to take the offensive helm.

We know the names: Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, Tavien St. Clair. 

Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter join to wax poetic on that tussle for snaps. We also dive deep on recruiting given the litany of staff changes.

There was a lot of smoke over the last week that Kansas City Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen might join Ryan Day's staff at Ohio State. However, that no longer appears to be in the cards. So, what will Day do and when will he do it? Well, there is really no rush, although we know he won't wait too much longer. Will the final plan be to promote Matt Guerrieri and Tim Walton to co-DCs?

What do we think of the other coaching moves that Day has made since winning the national championship?

Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin tackle that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

It is a coordinator-themed edition of the show today as Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss Brian Hartline being promoted to offensive coordinator (even though he already held that title) and what might happen with Ohio State's defensive coordinator position. Is Ryan Day -- who just agreed to a seven-year contract extension yesterday that will pay him $12.5 million per season -- waiting to hire Joe Cullen? Might there be co-defensive coordinators with Cullen and someone currently on the staff?

That and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

We are happy to welcome back Gee Scott Sr. to the Bucknuts Morning 5 today. How high is the standard within Ohio State's football program? Well, we all know it is very high, but as he is known to do, Mr. Scott aka The Buckeye Preacher articulated it perfectly. The standard is 'Straight A's across the board." Why? Because there "Ain't no B-plus in Buckeye Nation."

That is just a sprinkling of the wisdom and insight that Gee brings to the show. He and Dave Biddle discuss the national championship run and Gee Scott Jr. being a valuable cog as the starting tight end and much more.

That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
