Over at the ozone in his 10 Things We Learned posting, Tony Gerdeman dropped an interesting tidbit in #8 of 10. Probably just speculation, but an interesting thought. Good read by Gerdeman. (Didn't see this on the site yet)

8. Ed Warinner up in the booth was a great move, but likely one that won’t be repeated next year. 

The decision to move Ed Warinner upstairs absolutely worked, but Urban Meyer said after the game that they could do that only because they have a veteran offensive line, which is something that they won’t have in 2016. The Buckeyes could be losing four starters on the offensive line, which would almost assuredly eliminate any chance of Warinner staying upstairs next season. With an unproven offensive line like the one the Buckeyes could have in 2016, Urban Meyer will want Warinner downstairs.

This then becomes an issue because it’s pretty clear that Meyer is not going to let the plays come from downstairs anymore, and Warinner will almost surely be on the field next season. So where does that leave the play calling next season?

As a totally unrelated aside, did you guys see that fired Georgia coach Mark Richt said he’d like to coach quarterbacks and call plays again?
