Ohio State 2019 Football Preview

New coach, new quarterback for the Buckeyes means more uncertainty in the other Columbus.

Things are more unsettled in Columbus than they’ve been since 2012 as Ryan Day takes over for Urban Meyer, who’s retired to desk jobs in the Ohio State athletic department and the Fox college football studio. Whether you believe Urbz is retired for good depends on why you think he left Ohio State. If you think that it truly was a medical condition, he’s likely done as a coach. If it was merely a graceful exit due to his mishandling of Zach Smith, he could be back as soon as a big money program needs fresh leadership. I’m squarely on the medical side of the debate; yes, Meyer came back from a medical retirement once before. So did Jerry Kill, and he’s back to retired again. Whether it’s Barry Sanders, Brett Favre or Urban Meyer, some people just don’t believe people retire except as a negotiating ploy.

Taking over for Meyer is his former quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator, Ryan Day. Prior to joining Ohio State, Day was the quarterbacks coach for Chip Kelly in Philadelphia and San Francisco. But Day will fill a lot of holes in the Buckeyes’ offense, as Ohio State only has four returning starters. Granted, because this was Urban Meyer’s Ohio State, there’s plenty of blue chippers to fill those holes, but still, there are question marks on offense.
