Ohio State is now looking for coordinators on both sides of the ball after offensive coordinator Chip Kelly took a monster deal to become the Las Vegas Raiders’ OC. Can Ryan Day keep things rolling with a revamped staff?
Meanwhile, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said he isn’t going to have a spring game because showing off the roster only allows other teams to decide who they want to poach. Is it time to scrap spring practice and implement Andy’s OTA idea?
Our first Wendy’s Dynamic Duo segment highlights the reunion of Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer and his longtime offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who spent last season as the OC of the Seattle Seahawks but got fired last month.
