What a wild turn of events coming from Ryan Day's program.

As it looks currently, Buckeyes OC Bill O'Brien will head to Boston College to take over the head coaching job.

To fill the void, UCLA Head Coach Chip Kelly is expected to make the jump down to offensive coordinator according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.

What an unprecedented move here. New era of CFB.

    Did Nansen recruit him? You’d have to think he did at some point

    Yes. Though Toia chose USC over UCLA initially, he went back to UCLA to play for then-Bruins DL coach Johnny Nansen quickly.

    Ryan Day was Chip Kelly’s QB at the University of New Hampshire.

    This is a great hire if Chip is the play caller IMO

    Would love to go after UCLA DT Jay Toia now. He’s got great size (6-3, 325) and was productive. Initially committed to USC but transferred to UCLA after just one semester. Who was the UCLA DL coach he transferred to play under? Johnny Nansen.

    Yes. Well done!

    When does the current academic quarter at UCLA conclude?  Could we perhaps get Toia in for spring practice?  <wishcasting>

    Ohio State has the best roster in the country in my eyes. The players that opted to return to school that could have gone pro give them the boost over Texas and UGA.

    yet they have to rely on will howard.. i know you think he's everything, but we all have seen him struggle.. adding him to a team with a new OC.. This won't be a repeat Joe Burrow story

    Not Will Howard. Another question is the defense.

    Are we worried about Nansen as a possible candidate for UCLA?

    I don’t think Nansen would do that to Sark nor do I think it’s a job worth taking. Just seems like there are issues there for Kelly to do that.
