OSU-Northwestern predictions | Why didn't Ryan Day try and bring Chip Kelly back?

Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

About

Ohio State welcomes in Northwestern for a noon tilt on Saturday, and it will be the first time Chip Kelly has coached at the Horseshoe since the Buckeyes' win over Tennessee in the 2024 College Football Playoff. It also begs a question: Why didn't Ryan Day bring back Kelly as OSU's offensive coordinator when there was a 4-week window in which to do that last December?

Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle delve into that and much more on the Friday 5ish.
