Notre Dame football: 11 offensive coordinators candidates to replace Gerad Parker

Who do you want to be Notre Dame’s next offensive coordinator?

Paint it any way you want it, but Notre Dame football landed great news on Monday.  Offensive coordinator Gerad Parker was named Troy’s new head coach.

No, it’s not ideal that Notre Dame will now be on their third offensive play caller in the past four seasons, but its a spot the Irish coaching staff could upgrade and now they’re forced to.

Reports are out from various outlets that Marcus Freeman has his eyes on a certain external candidate.  Who exactly that is may be remains to be seen.  And just because Freeman may have his eye on someone doesn’t mean that its all a race for one guy.

So who are some names to keep an eye on in regards to Notre Dame’s next offensive coordinator?  We’ve compiled 11.

Social Media reacts to Marvin Harrison scoring first touchdown against Wisconsin

McCord to Harrison Jr. got us fired up as well! #GoBucks

It took until the second quarter for ether team to score, but [autotag]Ohio State football[/autotag] got the first touchdown of the game against Wisconsin to take a 10-0 lead.

The Buckeye capitalized on a short field, due to a bad Badger punt, only needing to go 52 yards to find the end zone. It was a fantastic play call by head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and offensive coordinator [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag], as they schemed star wide receiver [autotag]Marvin Harrison Jr.[/autotag] underneath the defense, quarterback [autotag]Kyle McCord[/autotag] hit him in stride and the future first round pick did the rest.

Check out the best reactions from X, the website formerly know as Twitter, to the Buckeye score.

What to expect from newest Ohio State commit, 2025 WR, Jayvan Boggs

WRU is getting another top prospect #GoBucks

[autotag]Ohio State football[/autotag] received a surprise commitment on Monday morning, one it will gladly take.

Florida wide receiver, [autotag]Jayvan Boggs[/autotag], a 2025 prospect, made his commitment to the Buckeyes, giving them a second verbal in the class along with quarterback Tavien St. Clair.

The 6-foot, 188-pound pass catcher is ranked 50th at his position and 368th nationally on the 247Sports composite.

If offensive coordinator [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag] believes in Boggs ability, that should be enough of a selling point. After watching his junior and sophomore highlights it’s easy to see why the Buckeyes went hard after him. Find out what I saw from watching Boggs film below.

Andy Staples believes Brian Hartline is a candidate for a Big Ten head coaching job

This is a laughable idea #GoBucks

It’s par for the course for [autotag]Ohio State football [/autotag] and its coordinators to be linked to other jobs, with the most recent one being [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag].

If you haven’t been following, Michigan State has suspended head coach Mel Tucker with the most likely outcome being that both parties will part ways. With the potentially open head coaching job, On3’s Andy Staples believes Hartline is a candidate to replace him.

The former Buckeye is one of seven assistants or head coaches that Staples believes are potentially in line to take over the Spartan program. Honestly, if I was any of those coaches, I would politely decline any conversations about that job.

Michigan State is not a destination school, it’s mired in controversy and the smoke screen season of 2021 is exactly that, an abnormality. Yes, [autotag]Mark Dantonio[/autotag] had the program among the best in the country, but there hasn’t been an ability to replicate anything close to the consistent success he had.

Dantonio’s name has been kicked around to return to East Lansing, and that might be the best option, because it’s going to be very difficult to work through the issues the Spartans have right now without a seasoned head coach.

20 potential candidates to replace Mel Tucker as Michigan State football’s coach

Who could potentially replace Mel Tucker? We came up with 20 coaches to consider.

Following an in-depth investigation by USA TODAY into the allegations made by Brenda Tracy against Mel Tucker, the university placed Mel Tucker on an unpaid suspension.

Operating under the assumption that Tucker has coached his last game as the head man of the Michigan State football program, as Lansing State Journal reporter Graham Couch speculated, the Spartans will be in the market for a new leader of their football program.

Check out some of the potential candidates Michigan State could look to bring in:

Questions we want to see Ohio State football answer against Indiana

Here are some questions we want answers for on Saturday. What are yours that you want to see the Buckeyes answer? #GoBucks

Unlike many seasons for Ohio State football, there are more than a few questions surround it’s team this fall.

Many of the questions are fairly obvious, but they’re still without answers that we all want to find out about. What the start of the season brings is an opportunity for the Buckeyes to give us those answers.

Although my questions might not be exactly what yours are, we probably have at least a few of the same one’s heading into Indiana. Find out below what my questions surrounding this Ohio State team are, and hopefully, we get some answers for them by the time Saturday evening rolls around.

BOOM! Ohio State does it again, lands another big-time receiver

BOOM! Once again, OSU and Brian Hartline attract an explosive receiver. #GoBucks

Brian Hartline keeps pulling it off.

The Ohio State football program gained yet another blue-chip receiver for the 2024 class on Sunday when four-star prospect Jeremiah McClellan announced his commitment to the Buckeyes.

Out of Saint Louis, Missouri, the 6-foot, 190-pounder is ranked No. 18 among receivers and 108th overall in the recruiting cycle on the 247Sports composite. He chose Ohio State over Oregon and Missouri but appeared to be a heavy OSU lean of late. He made it official on Sunday, a few months after officially visiting Columbus.

McClellan comes from the same high school that produced another Buckeye you may be familiar with, former receiver Kamryn Babb. If he has anywhere near the character and leadership abilities Babb displayed, Ohio State will be ecstatic once he arrives on campus.

The wide receiver room continues to get deeper and more talented under Hartline and it’ll be very interesting to see how the program keeps all of these guys happy. but hey, it’s a good problem to have.

OSU continues to possess the No. 2 recruiting class in the country, according to the 247Sports team composite, and has 21 members committed.

Everything Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said at Big Ten media days

The Buckeye boss spoke at Big Ten media days. #GoBucks

Wednesday was [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] football head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag]’s turn at the podium to speak with the media at Big Ten media days.

There were plenty of topics the Buckeyes’ head coach talked about during his 15 minutes, including the quarterback derby, adjustments on offense, what his role will be with [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag] now calling plays and more.

Day was the final coach to speak on the day. While we may not have learned a lot, it was still good to see the head coach begin what feels like the official countdown to the season.

See the transcription of what Day said while he was speaking at the 2023 Big Ten media days below.

Michigan writer suggests Ohio State’s Brian Hartline as candidate for Northwestern

Ha ha but no thanks #GoBucks

If you didn’t know, Northwestern parted ways with head coach Pat Fitzgerald on Monday afternoon, amid a hazing scandal.

Naturally, there is going to be conjecture about who will replace Fitzgerald, and 247Sports Michigan report Steve Lorenz suggested [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag]’s new offensive coordinator [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag].

It may have been in jest, especially considering who Lorenz covers but Steve Wiltfong, 247Sports national director of recruiting, doubled down on the idea saying that Hartline is “another great name that makes a lot of sense.”

Sorry, but it doesn’t at all. Hartline was considered for other jobs during the off-season, none of them with the challenges and uphill climb being the head coach at Northwestern brings.

There is no doubt in my mind that Hartline is a wanted man in the coaching profession, but it has to be the right situation. Northwestern isn’t that.

A massive rebuild for a school in utter turmoil just doesn’t seem like a destination that Hartline would want to go to. It’s just a silly idea from at least one respected name in the industry. I understand Lorenz trolling Ohio State fans, but Wiltfong suggesting this doesn’t have that feeling.

I highly doubt that Hartline leaves for a bottom-feeding Big Ten team program. So, even if they are trolling, they aren’t doing a good job.

Ohio State commit Jeremiah Smith hints an elite corner should be joining him

A very interesting development ahead of the weekend #GoBucks

They say that the best want to compete with the best and that gives [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] a distinct advantage over competitors regarding secondary recruiting.

If a defensive back wants to go against the best wide receivers in the country, it’s hard to argue that Columbus isn’t the place for them. Multiple first round NFL draft selections over the past few years and the ones that weren’t, i.e. [autotag]Terry McLaurin[/autotag], have blossomed into stars.

Offensive coordinator [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag] is churning out elite wide receiver talent and enticing defensive backs to come compete against the best. Buckeye wide receiver commit [autotag]Jeremiah Smith[/autotag] is using that tactic as well, as he retweeted a post regarding Ohio cornerback [autotag]Bryce West[/autotag] making return visit to Michigan after his official.

There were rumors of a visit by West back to Ann Arbor would happen prior to his official to Columbus this weekend, but it turns out that won’t happen and Smith insinuates that West might be joining him.

This visit is big for West and another top in-state cornerback target [autotag]Aaron Scott[/autotag]. If the Buckeyes hit a home run with both of them, we could see the top remaining Ohio targets verbal to Ohio State.
