Ohio State Buckeyes Coach Interviews for NFL Job
The Ohio State Buckeyes may be losing one of their coaches to the NFL.
Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune has reported that Ohio State offensive line coach Justin Frye has interviewed for the same role with the Chicago Bears.
Frye has been the Buckeyes’ offensive line coach since 2022, and while he faced some stiff criticism early on for missing on many top recruits, he certainly turned things around this past season, helping Ohio State form a rather impressive unit in the trenches.
The 41-year-old played offensive tackle at Indiana between 2002 and 2006 and then earned a graduate assistant job with the Hoosiers in 2007. He spent two years serving in that role before landing another graduate assistant job at Florida in 2009, where he resided for two seasons.
Frye then landed a job as Temple’s offensive line coach in 2011.
The Elwood, In. native also served as offensive line coach for Boston College and UCLA before being promoted to offensive coordinator for the Bruins in 2019.
Frye proceeded to make the move to Ohio State in 2022, where he has also held the title of associate head coach and run game coordinator.
The Buckeyes just won their first national championship in a decade, so it’s no surprise that teams are trying to poach their coaches. It already happened with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, who recently moved on to Penn State.
Ohio State will also be losing a bunch of key players to the NFL Draft, so it will be interesting to see how the Buckeyes recover in 2025.
The Ohio State Buckeyes football team’s head coach, Ryan Day, is reportedly being sought after by several NFL teams for their head coaching vacancies. Day, who has led the Buckeyes to a 12-1 record this season and a Big Ten Championship, is considered one of the top coaching prospects in college football.
According to reports, Day has already interviewed with multiple NFL teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Bears. It is believed that Day’s offensive acumen and ability to develop quarterbacks have caught the attention of NFL teams in need of a head coach.
Day has not publicly commented on the rumors surrounding his potential NFL job opportunities, but many believe that he could be swayed to make the leap to the professional ranks if the right opportunity presents itself.
Stay tuned for updates on Ryan Day’s coaching future as the NFL coaching carousel continues to spin.
