Coombs was Ohio State's defensive coordinator in title only after the Buckeyes' Week 2 loss to Oregon, which marked the third straight game dating back to last year's national championship loss in which the Buckeye defense had given up at least 31 points to its opponent.
The Buckeye defense appeared to make improvements after the switch, which also saw Ohio State transition into more of a 4-2-5 base alignment, as the group gave up just 15.9 points per game from Game 3 through Game 11. But defensive struggles doomed Ohio State in a 42-27 loss to Michigan in the regular season finale, and the Buckeyes gave up 45 points to Utah in a Rose Bowl win to close out the season.
Interesting…back to the NFL?
Thank you for leading by example and your loyalty to the Buckeyes
It didn't work but wasn't for a lack of trying, best of luck coach
Long over due
He will be missed, what a great man an example of a human being.
Best of luck. Thank you for everything
Best of luck, very good coach
What's Coach Hairball's take on these new hires?
Great guy and a huge part of the 2014 championship team. Wish I had the gif of him jumping in the team huddle, legendary
Wow!
'What do you need water for, Sunshine?! We're stretching and you're a kicker!!'🤣🤣
Staying: Johnson/Hartline/and Tony Alford
Met Coach Frye at a camp my son was at - I believe he was at BC then. Seemed like a sharp guy!
Spielman for LB coach?
Is Larry Johnson staying?
This is good for the program. I’m sure the four that are out will find other opportunities
Nothing but the best to all of the coaches who are moving on. Excited about all of the additions. I feel like the additions address the areas that have been weaknesses for us.
D needed an overhaul. Excited for it
Rising to the challenge
Complete overhaul.
thanks for the credit
does Parker Fleming deserve to stick around? I truly dont know
Ryan Day not messing around.
Sorry to see him go out this way, but he’ll always be a Buckeye coaching legend to me. His energy and passion was unmatched. Good luck coach!
No one on the coaching staff will ever replicate the intensity, energy, and passion Coach Coombs had for The Ohio State University. ❤️you, Coach!
I don't know if I have seen anyone care for and love OSU like Kerry has. Sad to see him go again but this defense needs some major changes. Gotta like how Ryan Day has made that a priority.
Looking forward to a secondary coach who lets DB's make plays on the ball instead of face guarding with their backs turned at all times.
It was time. Great motivator, but defense was getting worse each year.
We should’ve kept him as our db coach man 😥 he made osu dbu
There is a God
11W is hilarious used a picture of him with moving packed bags
Too bad. Always liked Kerry Coombs. His energy was unequaled on the sidelines. Good luck Kerry!
He just wasn’t qualified to be a DC… can’t fault the guy.
Really…y’all got him with his bags and suitcase. 😳
