What we're hearing on Matt Patricia's future with Ohio State

Our Summary
Matt Patricia, Ohio State's defensive coordinator, has sparked speculation about his future with a recent Instagram post that resembled a farewell message. This has caused concern among Buckeyes fans, especially amid reports that NFL teams are interested in Patricia. Since returning to college coaching, Patricia has significantly improved Ohio State’s defense, drawing parallels to his successful tenure with the New England Patriots. Head coach Ryan Day anticipated the possibility of Patricia being a short-term hire when he brought him on in February, a situation reminiscent of Chip Kelly’s brief stint before his move to the NFL. Patricia's potential departure comes as Ohio State looks to regroup after their College Football Playoff quarterfinal exit, with plans focused on recruiting and the transfer portal for the upcoming 2026 season.
