Mike Yurcich has been hired as Texas' offensive coordinator, leaving Ohio State after just one season.

Yurcich became Ohio State's quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator in January of 2019.

Multiple sources have told Bucknuts that OSU head coach Ryan Day informed Yurcich it would be in his best interest to look around for another job. One source said succinctly: "Yurcich is difficult to work with and rubbed some people the wrong way."

Yurcich served as the offensive coordinator for Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State from 2013-18. Yurcich was hired to essentially replace Day at OSU, who was elevated to the head coaching position last December.

Yurcich received a two-year contract worth $900,000 per year. He has already realized bonuses worth more than $300,000 as the Buckeyes won the Big Ten East, the Big Ten championship game and advanced to the College Football Playoff. He stood to make another $200,000 if the Buckeyes had defeated Clemson and moved on to the national championship game.

Yurcich, 44, is a native of Euclid, Ohio. He played quarterback in college at California University of Pennsylvania.

He began his coaching career as the running backs coach of Saint Francis (Ind.) in 1999. Then from 2000-01, he was the quarterbacks coach at Saint Francis. Then he was promoted to offensive coordinator/QB coach at the same school in 2002.

In 2003, Yurcich moved on to become a graduate assistant at Indiana University, a post he held for two season.

In 2005, Yurcich became the quarterbacks and wide receivers coach at Edinboro. Then from 2006-10 he was Edinboro's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks/wide receivers coach.

From 2011-12, Yurcich was the offensive coordinator/QB coach at Division II Shippenburg (Penn.). It was there where he continued his reputation as an innovative offensive mind, and is how he caught the eye of Gundy at Oklahoma State.

Bucknuts will have more on this developing story.
