The Ohio State Buckeyes underperformed during the 2025 season, running the table during the regular season but unraveling when offensive coordinator Brian Hartline took the USF Bulls head coaching job. Then, OSU choked in the Big Ten Championship Game against the Indiana Hoosiers before being outclassed by the Miami Hurricanes in the Cotton Bowl Classic.
It's natural to wonder if the other coordinator is next. Matt Patricia's future is in question, with many connecting him to an NFL return after a major rehabilitation stint in Columbus.
