Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is also bringing on San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach Ryan Day to serve in the same capacity in Columbus.

Beck, 50, was the Buckeyes' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for two seasons, beginning in 2015. He also has coaching experience at Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri State, Kansas State and Illinois State.

Beck shared offensive coordinator duties with Ed Warinner. Under their direction, Ohio State ranked 14th in the country in scoring offense over the past two seasons with 37.5 points per game.

The Buckeyes was blanked by third-rank Clemson 31-0 in the College Football Playoff semifinal in the Fiesta Bowl last Saturday.

Wilson, 55, spent the past six seasons as the head coach of the Hoosiers. Under Wilson, Indiana was 26-47, including 6-6 this season.
