I do this from time to time of following up on where some of Tressel's staff members are today.

OC/OL - Jim Bollman - in Feb of this year after the new HC was hired, Jim Bollman decided to retire from coaching. he had spent the last 7 years at MSU for Dantonio after 1 year at BC following his departure from OSU

QB - Nick Siciliano - Now living in Kyle TX he was most recently the TE coach for the Austin XFL team and hence appears to be unemployed, He had spent time with the Bengals as a glorified tape runner for a year, then nearly 3 years working for Cardinal Health. Then a year working at Minnesota Gophers as a general asst before the gig in Austin which fell apart due to Covid 19

RB - Doc Tressel - Doc spent a year or 2 as an OC at Div 3 Carleton college in Minn before retiring in the mid 2010's

WR coach - Darrell Hazell - went to Kent St then failed miserably at Purdue as a HC and most recently was the WR for the Minn Vikings but announced his retirement from coaching at the end of 2018 season at age 54. Whereabouts today is unknown

TE - John Peterson - He has been consistently employed since leaving, spent 2 years at UAB as OL, then OL coach at Akron for 1 year, 3 years at Pitt as OL coach, and now in his 2nd year at YSU as TE/OT coach

DC/DL - Jim Heacock - Effectively retired after the 2011 season and not being retained by Meyer. He did return briefly during Meyer's tenure as a Consultant for the team

LB - Luke Fickell - as we all know he is the HC at UC

CB - Taver Johnson - as we all know Taver made his way back to OSU in 2018, but in between he had been at Arkansas, Purdue and Temple. He is now the DB coach for the Raiders in the NFL

Safety - Paul Haynes - Haynes left for Arky as well with Johnson, then to Kent St with Hazell, before landing at MSU the last 2 years, he decided to leave as well after Dantonio left and is now the CB coach for PJ Fleck at Minny
