Chip Kelly, the former offensive coordinator for Ohio State University, is reportedly in the running for the offensive coordinator position at Georgia Tech. This follows his tenure at Ohio State, where he played a key role in the Buckeyes’ triumph, securing their ninth national championship. After a brief spell in the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders, Kelly was released after just 11 games.
Coaching Changes at Ohio State
Following Kelly’s departure from Ohio State, the program promoted Brian Hartline from receivers coach to the offensive coordinator position. Hartline’s successful year of calling plays under head coach Ryan Day has led to his recent hiring as head coach at the University of South Florida. This created an opening for a new offensive coordinator at Ohio State.
Georgia Tech’s Search for an Offensive Coordinator
Meanwhile, Georgia Tech is actively seeking to fill its offensive coordinator role after Buster Faulkner transitioned to the same position at the University of Florida. Kelly has emerged as a prominent candidate in this search.
