They are talking and are preparing big money to get him back going to be up to him if he wants to be back .


Kerry Coombs is top priority for Ohio State


The Buckeyes had hoped to hang on to Jeff Hafley for at least one more season, but Friday night it officially found out the co-defensive coordinator was heading to Boston College to take over his own program. The timing for Ohio Sate isn’t ideal for a couple reasons, although Hafley will continue to coach through the College Football Playoff and an effort to replace him quickly and ease the concerns of defensive back recruits appears to be underway.

The top target for the Buckeyes: Kerry Coombs. The former Ohio State cornerbacks coach left the program to try his hand in the NFL, and he’s continued to have a positive impact with the Tennessee Titans. The option to return is almost certainly going to be up to Coombs, with Ohio State prepared to make a significant financial offer and already working behind the scenes to see if it’s possible for him to make recruiting calls while still with the Titans and while Hafley finishes out his duties in the postseason. There are other names in the mix at the NFL level, and Ohio State has had discussions about another former assistant returning with Chris Ash on the market. But Coombs is clearly at the top of the list for the Buckeyes.
