Three former Ohio State head coaches, an NFL head coach and the Buckeyes' current head coach will headline a star-studded coaching clinic next month.

Former Buckeyes head coaches Ryan Day, Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel and John Cooper will each present at Ohio State's coaching clinic in April, the program announced on Wednesday.

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien, leadership expert Tim Kight and all 10 of Ohio State's assistant coaches – Corey Dennis, Greg Mattison, Al Washington, Greg Studrawa, Brian Hartline, Kerry Coombs, Tony Alford, Kevin Wilson, Matt Barnes and Larry Johnson – also will speak at the clinic, which will be held at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on April 9-11.

Between Day, Meyer, Tressel and Cooper, those in attendance will hear from a quartet with 316 wins as Ohio State head coaches.

Day, entering his second full season leading the Buckeyes, has a 16-1 record as head coach and a College Football Playoff appearance. Meyer spent seven years in Columbus, from 2012 to 2018, taking Ohio State to an 83-9 record with a national championship in 2014. Tressel was at the helm between 2001 and 2010, accruing a 106-22 record that included a national title in 2002. Cooper had a 111-44-4 record while coaching the Buckeyes between 1988 and 2000.

O'Brien has never coached or played at Ohio State. He did, however, spend 2012 and 2013 as Penn State's head coach, where he led a staff that included Johnson as his defensive line coach. When O'Brien took the Texans job in 2014, Johnson left to work for Meyer at Ohio State.

The "Let's Talk Ball" clinic has opened registration for coaches. It costs $65 for early registration and $75 for late registration. Those who attend will get a spring game ticket and will watch Ohio State's practice on April 10.
