From an Ohio State perspective, Kelly is a steal as OC and there is zero surprise that an Ohio St alum is pleased with the hire.
Kelly f*cked us in many ways, tho most were not a matter of Coaching, but rather being in charge of and Administering the program. His failings were far more on the Administrative side than the Coaching side, and at Ohio St he has none of those issues and can just be great at what he's great at and enjoys. I doubt he ever wants to be a Head Coach again, tho I expect that if Day is ever out, he'd end up interim for a bit.
Also, we have been cheapskates and behind the times and growing more irrelevant ever since the CFA monopoly which had us as one of the haves in college sports broke up. We still have a good brand, and being in the B1G, we're not as far behind in conference status as we were in the ever more irrelevant Pac12, but now we're way behind in NIL over the past few years.
