Brian Hartline will handle offensive play-calling duties during spring practices, but Ryan Day won’t make a final decision on who will call plays this season until after spring.
The door is clearly open for Brian Hartline to become Ohio State’s offensive play-caller this season, but Ryan Day hasn’t made a final decision yet.in January, Day confirmed he is considering giving up play-calling duties this season.
Day doesn’t plan to make a final decision on who will call offensive plays until after the conclusion of spring practices. The spring will serve as a test run of sorts for Hartline as an offensive play-caller, as Day plans to put Hartline in as many situations as possible where he’s going head-to-head with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles in order to evaluate Hartline’s readiness to call plays.
“I mean, if I were coming in from out of the building, coming into this role, everything would be on the table the same way as it is now. But to kind of corner ourselves into a spot and then justify it one way or the other, we really didn’t want to do that,” Hartline said. “So everything's on the table. Looking forward to the opportunity this spring.
Giving play-calling duties to Hartline would come with some degree of risk, given that Hartline has never been a play-caller before at any level. But Day felt comfortable making him the new offensive coordinator because of the growth he’s seen from Hartline over the past five years, particularly last year when Hartline was promoted to passing game coordinator.
