So let's take inventory of one of the youngest teams in the FBS and give props to the incredible coaching staff that Urban has assembled.
From this article came the following statement....
College football: OSU, Alabama are in a class by themselves
"According to 247Sports.com's composite recruiting rankings, the Buckeyes signed 33 top-100 prospects from 2013 to 2016. Oklahoma — for all of its blue-blooded mystique — had six.
Already, Ohio State has eight top-50 commits in its 2017 class. The rest of the Big Ten combined has three in the top 100.
Add A-list coaching to that assembly line, and the result is Saturday night"
The numbers:
Ed Warinner - Off. Coord/Tight Ends Coach
Tim Beck - Co-Offensive Coord/Quarterbacks
Tony Alford - Asst Head Coach/RB Coach
Greg Studrawa - Offensive Line Coach
Zach Smith - Wide Receivers Coach / Recruiting Coord.
Greg Schiano - Associate Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator
Luke Fickell - Defensive Coordinator/LB Coach
Larry Johnson - Asst. Head Coach/DL Coach
Kerry Coombs - CB Coach/Special Teams Coordinator
Mark Pantoni, Director of Player Peronnel
Mickey Marotti - Asst AD, FB Sport Performance
Matt Thurin - Quality Control Coach - Defense
Jim Cordle - Graduate Assistant - Offense
Brian Mason - Graduate Assistant - Defense
Randall Joyner - Graduate Assistant - Defense
Tim Hinton - Executive Director for Football Relations/Special Assistant to HC
My personal favorite, Kerry Coombs, I would run through a wall for that guy, just listen to him once, 100% upbeat all the time..
