Ohio State’s new offensive coordinator replaces what Ryan Day missed most last season: Buckeye Take
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State coach Ryan Day missed something last season, and I’m not talking about a first-round quarterback or a few crucial decisions at Michigan.
Day did not hire new offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien merely to assume Corey Dennis’ spot on the staff and his duties as quarterbacks coach. O’Brien also did not represent the only option available if Day simply wanted a chief play-caller. He could have hired a clone of himself from 2017 — an up-and-coming schematic talent and mentor of passers.
O’Brien instead corrects one of the most underrated absences from the 2023 season. With his executive experience and stature, he can fill the void left after former offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson and his decades of coaching wisdom departed to become Tulsa’s head coach.
A little over a year ago, when Wilson left, Day replaced him on staff in two ways. He promoted Keenan Bailey from senior advisor to tight ends coach — a move all but promised to the now 27-year-old. He also added the offensive coordinator title to receivers coach Brian Hartline. Also not yet 40, Hartline is even younger in coaching terms, having only joined the profession in 2017 following his NFL career.
The 31-year-old Dennis also had spent his entire coaching career at OSU, from intern to graduate assistant to quality control to position coach. On top of all of that, the 44-year-old Day continues to build his own base of knowledge, having been promoted in 2019 from no previous head coaching experience.
Day has not hid the fact that yielding play-calling duties and more offensive oversight takes him out of his comfort zone. A coach with O’Brien’s bona fides — he coached Tom Brady and some explosive offenses in New England, won four division titles in five years with the Texans, and helped Bryce Young win the Heisman Trophy — provides insurance against any inclination to backslide Day might encounter.
Wilson spent 19 years as an offensive coordinator before his stint as Indiana’s head coach. He helped bring the power spread offense to the Power 5. Having led his own program, his eyes, ears and mind were invaluable to a first-time head coach.

Day remains a relatively young head coach — as well as a sophisticated offensive mind. He also does not have much margin for error with this decision, or others. With three straight losses to Michigan pushing the Buckeyes into a crucial offseason, Day decided the program needed experience over experimentation.
Day had to promote Hartline when he did, because the latter’s performance as position coach demanded the title bump. He also wants to grow in the profession one day, lead his own program. However, it never seemed likely Day would turn over play-calling and oversight of the offense to someone learning the nuances on the job.
O’Brien, 54, needs no tutorial to get up to speed. Beyond his years as a head coach, he spent eight seasons as a Power 5 or NFL offensive coordinator. He can bring a presence to the offensive meeting room each week, and to the headset on Saturday afternoons.
Wilson’s impact on the staff was often overlooked because, while he carried the coordinator title, he did not call the plays. However, his voice carried considerable weight in assembling the game plan each week and when talking through crucial in-game scenarios.
He meant a lot to those offenses that led the nation in yards per play in 2021 and ‘22. O’Brien will mean even more to the next one, because Day is giving him a larger piece of it.

Koby Altman Sounds Like Evan Mobley’s Future With Cavaliers Could Be in Question
The Cleveland Cavaliers might be at the point of doing whatever it takes to contend for a NBA championship next season, even at the expense of some of their young stars.
After their disappointing loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavs need to consider anything and everything when it comes to trading away players to bring in more help for next season.
Obviously, Cleveland would love to retain as many of their stars as possible, especially the likes of Evan Mobley. New details from Koby Altman, Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations, gives more insight into how the Cavs view Mobley’s future as of now.
Here’s what Koby Altman shared with the media regarding Evan Mobley.
Koby Altman praises Mobley for what he’s done in Cleveland
“Evan Mobley? Yeah, I mean he’s a part of our future.”
This is what Cavs fans were hoping to hear, especially with the recent talks about potential league altering trades involving Mobley.
“We’re not going to speculate on any players outside these walls. All I can tell you is since Evan’s been here, we’ve had the third best record in the league.
There is no arguing Altman’s points on Mobley, considering Cleveland has had a winning record and made either the play-in tournament or the playoffs in each of Mobley’s first five seasons.
Their winning percentage ranks amongst the league’s best as well since the 2021-22 season, much thanks to Mobley’s dominance as their big man of the future alongside veteran Jarrett Allen.
Mobley would go on to win the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award during the 2024-25 season, becoming the franchise’s first player to win the award as well as the fifth youngest in league history at just 23 years old.
Altman would go on to say, “all Evan has done is impact winning. He’s been remarkable for us in terms of our ascent. He knows he needs to get better.”
What this means for Evan Mobley going forward
Mobley has most certainly helped Cleveland finish each season near the top of the Eastern Conference and has continued to get better every year. However, fans and media have criticized his aggressiveness as a big man, urging him to be more physical with his size.
Standing at 6 foot 11 inches and weighing 215 pounds, Mobley ranks amongst the league’s tallest centers while showcasing dynamic abilities as both a ball handler and a shooter. His averages this past season include 18.2 points, nine rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game were some of his best stats in his career.
Mobley sits among some of the NBA’s best centers in regard to his defense, as he is one of four players to have at least 300 blocks and 150 steals, next to Anthony Davis, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Rudy Gobert. He has continued to build on those impressive stats as he keeps working to get better.
If the Cavs want to bet on Mobley being a true franchise player for the foreseeable future, they’ll need those numbers to increase next season. They’ll also need Mobley to show that defensive presence again that earned him DPOY honors two seasons ago.
In Mobley’s case, his 5-year, $224 million extension two summers ago keeps him in Cleveland through the 2029-30 season. Unfortunately, the NBA is a business, and at the end of the day, teams will do whatever they can to build a championship contending roster.
Based on Altman’s high praise, it would seem like Mobley is safe as a Cavalier. Don’t rule out the possibility of a trade if a team comes calling with an offer Cleveland can’t refuse.

Ohio Supreme Court makes ruling in murder of Cleveland Firefighter Johnny Tetrick
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The Ohio Supreme Court made a ruling Friday in connection with the murder conviction of the driver that killed Cleveland Firefighter Johnny Tetrick.
According to the Ohio Supreme Court, the trial court had sufficient evidence to convict Leander Bissell of felony murder for speeding through an accident scene.
Cleveland Firefighter Tetrick, 51, was killed on Nov. 19, 2022.
Bissell struck Firefighter Tetrick on I-90 East near Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and then fled the scene. Bissell was arrested later that evening.
Firefighter Tetrick was assisting with a rollover crash, when he was struck. He was pronounced dead at University Hospitals.
In July 2023, Bissell had a bench trial in front of Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Timothy McCormick and was found guilty on all charges, including, murder.
In August 2023, Bissell was sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after 16 years.
In November 2024, the Eighth District Court of Appeals overturned the murder conviction, finding the State failed to prove that Bissell acted “knowingly.”
The court of appeals found Bissell guilty of involuntary manslaughter, which would impose a sentence of only up to 11 years.

The state then appealed that decision to the Ohio Supreme Court.
“This is a victory for Firefighter Tetrick’s family and Ohio’s first responders. Firefighter Tetrick died while serving the public after Leander Bissell sped through a clearly marked accident scene, traversed the berm striking Tetrick, and fled. As the Ohio Supreme Court states, ‘The Eighth District’s reasoning is wrong.’ Thankfully, their decision today corrected that wrong,” said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley.
Thousands of people attended Firefighter Tetrick’s funeral on Nov. 26, 2022 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
