Ryan Angelo

Ryan Day isn’t the same coach he was as OC under Urban Meyer or early in his head coaching tenure. He’s become extremely conservative and overly reliant on NFL concepts. Pairing that with Arthur Smith leaves a lack of creativity and urgency on offense. Ohio State has had only one OC under Day that people would consider a rockstar playcaller: Chip Kelly. He pushed the boundaries. At a place like Ohio State with more talent and resources than 99% of the teams it faces, being overly conservative doesn’t mesh. They don’t force opponents to play on their terms despite those advantages. This program is one Nick Marsh footstep away from being 5-5 over its last 10 games, with Iowa as the signature win.
