When Chip Kelly left his role as Ohio State's offensive coordinator following the Buckeyes' national championship season in 2024, wide receivers coach Brian Hartline took over as the OC for the 2025 season. 

Now that Hartline is in Tampa as the new head coach of the South Florida Bulls, who will Ryan Day hire as the Buckeyes' offensive coordinator for 2026?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at Buckeye Huddle, joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of the leading contenders for the role and what unique advantages each of them would bring to the position. 

The candidates discussed include:

• Matt Nagy, the former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and former head coach of the Chicago Bears.
• Greg Roman, the former assistant for Jim Harbaugh and John Harbaugh, who served as the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers.
• Jonathan Smith, the former head coach of Michigan State and Oregon State, and the former offensive coordinator of the Washington Huskies.
