Ryan Day is ready to step back and embrace the CEO role now that close friend Chip Kelly has arrived to coordinate Ohio State's offense and coach quarterbacks.
With the hiring of Chip Kelly as the team's offensive coordinator, the Buckeyes' head coach is embracing a step back from both the development of the team's quarterbacks and the implementation of its offensive scheme."There's no question," Day said.
While Kelly hasn’t been a full-time quarterbacks coach in more than 15 years, he's been heavily involved in teaching them in his previous head coaching and offensive coordinating stops. "When you're the play caller, you want to be lock-step with the quarterback," Day said."There's just certain things that, when you're calling a play, 'We went over that in a meeting, and I'm calling this play for this reason.
With so much of what Day learned about offense coming from Kelly, the main adjustment for the former UCLA head coach has been learning what Ohio State calls certain plays already in his playbook. Day said Kelly has already added some new wrinkles to the running game, and more innovations will be on the way, but there's a lot of familiarity from both sides.
