Ryan Day ain’t here for chaos—especially not with his offense. With Chip Kelly off to the NFL, Ryan Day had to shuffle the deck, and Brian Hartline just got a whole lot more responsibility. Running the show wasn’t just about drawing up plays anymore—it was about barking them out, quarterback to OC, every single snap. After a week of spring ball, Ryan Day made it clear: Brian Hartline’s gotta step up and own it. “It’s different than just calling a play like it was in the past,” Day said. “Now you’re actually saying it to the quarterback, and that’s something that Chip did every single day, whether it was a walkthrough or it was at practice. And I think that’s something we need to continue as much as we can.” That was Kelly’s thing—constant reps, constant communication. Day wants Hartline locked in on that same energy.
Ryan Day doubled down, saying, “One of the things we talked about was having enough interaction with the quarterbacks so that he does know and he’s on the same page.” Translation: Get in sync with the QBs or it’s gonna show when the bullets start flying. But Ryan Day’s not about to let this thing spiral. Stability is the name of the game. Hartline’s still there. Day’s still involved. The system isn’t changing—just the guy delivering the message. Hartline’s gotta get in his bag, find his flow, and keep this offense humming. No excuses.
