Kelly was Ryan Day's mentor, both from the same town in New Hampshire, if you want to dig a little further, Chip was a defacto father figure for Day during his younger years. He is a guy who Day trusts completely with his offense, which is a good thing.
I do wonder how everything is going to mesh, Chip loves a power run game (used to be very high tempo) while Day isn't as high tempo but loves to chuck the ball around.
Overall it should be a good mesh of the two, giving Day more time to be the head coach of the team, not just the OC.

There's so much responsibility as a Head Coach, especially with the size of the Ohio State program. I just don't see how it's possible that anyone could do both the Head Coaching job and the Offensive Coordinator job, and do them both well at the same time, again, with the size and responsibilities of the Ohio State program. University of Oregon was small potatoes compared to UCLA, and UCLA is small potatoes compared to Ohio State.

There is a lot of that there. You also have the whole recruiting and NIL angle that is becoming a full time position. I even hear of college football teams signing defacto GM's.
The thing with Day is that he is an elite offensive mind and play caller. And I get why he didn't want to give that up. He also made some pretty questionable assistant coach hires, which led to a staff that didn't have a true offensive play caller (or someone capable) once Keven Warren left.
I think a renewed focus on overall game management may give him the boost he needs. When Day is aggressive, OSU plays better as a whole. When he goes conservative, they don't play as well.

Tennessee has already snagged the #1 recruit from the 2026 class
https://x.com/GoVols247/status/18198...5Es1_&ref_url=Five-star QB Faizon Brandon, the No. 1 player in the 2026 class for @247Sports, commits to Tennessee, chooses #Vols over Alabama, LSU and NC State.
My Vols are piling up the great recruits, particularly QBs. Players clearly want to play in Heupel's system. Other great recruits will see this and it will heavily favor Tennessee in making their own decisions on where to commit. The domino effect from this should be tremendous. It is also a boon to Tennessee recruiting that Brandon made his choice so early.
Kentucky's football program is placed on 2 years probation. Have to forfeit certain effected games from the past.
Wonder if Mitch Barnhardt's job is safe.

If Pope doesn't pan out, maybe.
I think this is Stoops last year in Lexington. Basing this off absolutely nothing, just a hunch. He almost left for Texas A&M last year and would have taken it if not for fans revolting. He's complained about NIL in the past which was a major reason Cal left.
