Latest News: Ohio State Buckeyes confirm In Final Stage Discussion To Sign Another Top Man
Report: Ohio State Eyeing SEC Offensive Coordinator For 2024 Season
The Ohio State Buckeyes could be considering a switch at offensive coordinator entering 2024.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are hoping to add a new offensive coordinator in 2024.
According to rumors from Kentucky Sports Radio, Kentucky offensive coordinator Liam Coen is likely to garner interest from the Buckeyes this offseason.
Coen, who rejoined Mark Stoops’ staff in Lexington after a one-year spell with the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, is also thought to be in the race for the Chicago Bears position following the firing of Luke Getsy.
A native of Rhode Island, Coen joined the Wildcats in 2021 and altered the offensive identity with quarterback Will Levis. Kentucky finished 10-3, including capturing the 20-17 victory over Iowa in the Citrus Bowl.
As an offensive, the Wildcats finished top 50 in every statistic, including being among the top teams in third-down conversion rates. Last season in his return to Kroger Field, Coen and Kentucky finished 7-6 with a loss to Clemson in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl.
Coen’s offense concluded the 2023 season ranked No. 23 in red zone touchdown %, No. 40 in yards per play, and No. 51 in points per drive, all much higher than in 2022.
After completing 11-2, the Buckeyes are searching for offensive adjustment. Ohio State just took in running back Quinshon Judkins (Ole Miss) and quarterback Will Howard (Kansas State) via the transfer portal. The Buckeyes will also welcome back Emeka Egbuka, TreVeyon Henderson, Donovan Jackson and others to help capture a conference title.
Coen could end up sticking around in Kentucky or potentially go for the NFL. He also could wind up in Columbus. Day’s variables in what he’s searching for on offense could impact Coen’s status for the 2024 season.
