Joe Philbin, a senior advisor and analyst for Ohio State last season, is returning to the NFL.

The NFL Network reported Tuesday that the Las Vegas Raiders are hiring the 62-year-old Philbin as a senior offensive assistant.

Before joining the Buckeyes’ support staff, he had spent two decades in the league, including four seasons as the Miami Dolphins’ coach, a stint that saw him coach co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline .

Philbin had last been in college in 2002 as the offensive line coach at Iowa.

His presence on the staff at Ohio State offered additional experience and a background with the offensive line. He had been the offensive line coach with the Dallas Cowboys from 2020-22 before his arrival.

Todd Fitch remains as another senior advisor and analyst with the Buckeyes
