The 247 Sports analyst attributes this to the school losing two coordinators in the aftermath of their national title win last year. Speaking on 247 Sports on CBS Sports, Dixon said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;No shot. You can&#8217;t lose your offensive coordiantor and your defensive coordinator. And the guy that&#8217;s coming in has one of the most complicated defenses to fit in, to spring, get rolling and beat the team that&#8217;s on your schedule&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles have moved on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/las-vegas-raiders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/penn-state-nittany-lions-football\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Penn State Nittany Lions<\/a> respectively. While it was always known that Chip Kelly&#8217;s time at Columbus would be brief, Knowles&#8217; departure to a rival Big Ten school has taken fans by surprise.<\/p>\n<p>However, the true impact of these departures remains to be seen, as Ryan Day is known for having a significant influence on the defensive side of things.<\/p>\n<h2>Ryan Day on QB room battle at Ohio State<\/h2>\n<p>With Will Howard&#8217;s departure, the Ohio State Buckeyes were in search of a new signal-caller. Instead of turning to the transfer portal, coach Ryan Day has decided to look within his own roster. Julian Sayin and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/lincoln-kienholz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Lincoln Kienholz<\/a> are currently the frontrunners for the position.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Thursday with WBNS 10TV, Day commented on the competition, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We\u2019re excited to see those guys compete, this is an opportunity now for these guys to take it and run,&#8221; Day said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"Ryan Day Interview: Coach reflects on national championship run, looks ahead to 2025 season\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IPeitU9ZC0Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I feel like there will be a lot of growth coming out of the spring and an opportunity for these guys to take it and run, it\u2019s one thing when you\u2019re a backup.
