Ohio State is one of the premier college football programs in the country. Almost every offseason, at least one of our assistant coaches leaves the program either for a higher position somewhere else or for the same position at the NFL level.
Heck, even while I was writing this post, head coach Ryan Day said that multiple of our assistant coaches, namely Tyler Bowen and Billy Fessler, were contacted for potential promotions or opportunities elsewhere this offseason.
I was originally going to make a blog grading every new addition we've made to our staff, but with these things in mind, those aren't the only staffing decisions that can be graded.
Whether it's a keep, an add, or a cut, every coaching position is a decision.
Therefore, I will be grading every coach on Ohio State's staff based on how I believe they fit for the upcoming season. But first, I'm going to lay down some ground rules:
Rule #1: I'm not going below position coaches.
There are already some coaches on this list that I'm making assumptions about to grade. Doing this for people such as the assistant linebackers coach or our offensive analysts would feel even more speculative and irrelevant.
Essentially, nobody says after a lost season: "Fire our defensive quality control coach!"
Rule #2: Grades can be curved situationally.
There are two factors to every grade: 1) how well I believe these coaches have done or will do in their given roles, and 2) whether or not I believe there were better options available that Ohio State should have pursued.
For example, a less capable coach could be given a "curve" if he were clearly the best option on paper. On the contrary, a very capable coach could be docked as a hire if there were clearly better options available, accounting for other concerns such as longevity, character, and the like.
Rule #3: I will organize positionally, leaving general coaches at the end.
This one's more of a clarification than a rule, but it keeps the blog organized. I will start with offense, then go to defense, then go into general areas such as the coordinators, before finishing with the head coach.
Alright, let's go!
Quarterbacks Coach: Billy Fessler
Last year, Will Howard's leadership was a major reason Ohio State won the national championship. He was a four-year starter with experience as a team leader. This season, we had a preseason quarterback competition between two players who had never started a collegiate game. For it being Billy Fessler's first season as Ohio State's full-time quarterbacks coach, that's a somewhat tricky situation.
So how did he do?
Lincoln Kienholz was given a fair shot to start in the preseason, but the offense emphasized the strengths of Julian Sayin, the winner of the competition. He was given a clean pocket to pass from, allowing him to connect with the team's deadly wide receivers. Sayin did phenomenally, finishing as a Heisman finalist and playing Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza at an arguably similar level in the Big Ten Championship.
Perhaps the only thing Fessler could have done that he hasn't done yet is bring in a highly-touted quarterback. Guys like C. J. Stroud, Tavien St. Clair, or even Brady Edmunds were brought in by other coaches, namely Corey Dennis and Chip Kelly. So far, the only recruit Fessler has brought in is Luke Fahey, but he has time to work on that front.
Fessler's main challenge next season will be developing back-ups. He already has a Heisman-caliber quarterback, but he lost Kienholz to Louisville, so he will need to develop veteran transfer Justyn Martin or a young player like St. Clair or Fahey to be capable back-ups in the event Sayin goes down with an injury.
Otherwise, there really isn't much to rag on. A Heisman finalist as your starting QB and a back-up that is likely starting at another school the next year is about as good as it can get in year 1.
Grade: A
Running Backs Coach: Carlos Locklyn
This is the first position coach that may be slightly contentious among fans. He was an interesting hire to begin with, not due to his skillset or experience, but because there was a lawsuit surrounding his buyout from his last school, which also happened to be one of our Big Ten rivals.
While the running game was easily the weaker part of our offense this season, Locklyn made adjustments as needed. We began with James Peoples and CJ Donaldson as the top two backs. By the end of the season, true freshman Bo Jackson was rightfully receiving the lion's share of the snaps, with fellow freshman Isaiah West also mixing in.
Locklyn is also one of our more solid recruiters. His lack of a consensus five-star and relatively light 2026 class aside, he has done mostly well in the state of Ohio and has major wins out of state, including in Pennsylvania (Isaiah West), Florida (Elijah Newman-Hall), and Texas (Legend Bey). He landed a Freshman All-American in Bo Jackson and even flipped Alabama native Turbo Rogers from his hometown team.
West and Jackson seem to be developing well. Locklyn hasn't been afraid to adapt when needed, and he is a very capable recruiter. In most areas, he has done very well since arriving in Columbus. I'd go as far as to say that he has the traits to become the best running backs coach in the country.
However, unlike with Fessler, there are things that could have clearly gone better this year, so I don't think I could give it a solid A grade.
Grade: A-
Wide Receivers Coach: Cortez Hankton
Moving further into controversial territory, I have seen every kind of opinion, from love to hate, on Cortez Hankton.
Starting with the good, he is a former NFL receiver with almost 15 years of experience coaching the position. This has included stops at Vanderbilt, Georgia, and LSU, and he has served in other roles, such as passing game coordinator or co-offensive coordinator, in some of these spots as well. By resume alone, no other coach in the country is as qualified to coach receivers as Hankton.
His success stories include Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Ladd McConkey. He has experience recruiting and developing, with George Pickens being possibly the best example. A five-star out of Alabama, Hankton suckered him over to Georgia, where he developed into the team’s #1 target and became a quality NFL receiver.
Now, the concerns.
Some of Hankton’s previous offenses were rather lackluster in retrospect. He has only ever had two thousand-yard receivers at a Power Four level (being Thomas Jr. and Nabers), both of whom were recruited by different position coaches before he came to LSU.
His last couple of years at LSU raised some eyebrows among fans and analysts. In 2025, it was drops galore in Baton Rouge, and the team had no major threats at receiver, unless you count Barion Brown (532 yards), Zavion Thomas (488), Aaron Anderson (398), or Kyle Parker (330).
So what's my take on it?
It's... complicated to be sure.
On one hand, the experience is a green light. However, it may be worrying that he has been in the same role for almost 15 years and hasn't climbed the ranks as a full-time offensive coordinator. Is he content as a receivers coach? Is he waiting for the right opportunity? Or could it be that he just isn't good enough?
On the other hand, while he did have some bad offenses, the quarterbacks he had to work with bear some of that blame as well. At Georgia and LSU, Hankton's quarterbacks were:
- - Jake Fromm
- - J. T. Daniels
- - Stetson Bennett IV
- - Garrett Nussmeier
- - Michael Van Buren
Now, compare those names to Ohio State's last five quarterbacks:
- - Justin Fields
- - C. J. Stroud
- - Kyle McCord
- - Will Howard
- - Julian Sayin
The only name I left off of either list was Jayden Daniels, who led great offenses during Hankton’s time at LSU. Daniels is much closer in terms of talent to who Hankton will have at Ohio State, considering the worst QB we've had in the last 5 years was Kyle McCord, who was better than most names on the first list as a passer.
Finally, it's hard to grade this hire fairly when he's replacing Brian Hartline, possibly the best recruiter and developer of wide receivers our school has ever seen. The prospect of upgrading from Hartline may be impossible, shy of throwing a Brinks truck at the NFL's best wide receivers coach.
Hankton is not a newer coach with tons of upside, but he is a proven commodity who has succeeded with a similar level of resources that he'll have at Ohio State. I think that he will hold the fort well for at least a few years.
Most importantly, Day and the receivers like him. If my above reasons aren't enough, I hope that this one is.
Grade: B+
Tight Ends Coach / Co-Offensive Coordinator: Keenan Bailey
Coach Bailey has an argument to be the single best position coach we have on staff, at least on the offensive side of the ball, in my opinion.
On-field coaching? Check. The tight end room at Ohio State is the best it has been in quite some time. Between Max Klare, Bennett Christian, Will Kacmerak, and Jelani Thurman, the Buckeyes had four starting-caliber options. That's also not counting Nate Roberts, a true freshman who saw significant snaps on offense, which is a rarity in Columbus.
Recruiting? Check. He's taken great advantage of the transfer portal with players like Kacmerak, Klare, and now Mason Williams and Hunter Welcing. He also lands multi-tight end recruiting classes more often than not. Similar to Locklyn, he hasn't landed a consensus five-star, but he still lands young impact players like Nate Roberts.
My bigger question for grading purposes is about his role as co-offensive coordinator. How much should he be penalized for Ohio State's lack of progression on the offensive line, struggles to produce from slot receiver, and failure to protect Sayin against elite defensive lines?
The only negative I can find with coach Bailey has to do with the responsibilities he was given in addition to his positional coaching. Even then, the number of factors involved would make it feel petty for me to dock him for it. It's about as good a keep as one can get.
Grade: A+
Offensive Line Coach / Run Game Coordinator: Tyler Bowen
Easily the most controversial keep on the list, I have also seen every kind of opinion on Tyler Bowen.
Since 2010, Bowen has been all over the offense, coaching offensive linemen, tight ends, and quarterbacks. He was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Virginia Tech before coming to Columbus, with previous stints at Maryland, Penn State, and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A unique characteristic about Bowen is his recruiting prowess. He did well in-state in his first class by keeping Sam Greer, Maxwell Riley, and Landry Brede, and was able to recuperate from a flip by pulling Ohio native Mason Wilhelm away from North Carolina. Though he has not landed many out-of-state players or a consensus five-star, he has landed an out-of-state prospect in Tucker Smith (Arizona) and is at work recruiting Mark Matthews (Florida), the top tackle in the 2027 class.
What presented difficulty last season was his most important job: on-field coaching. The line did mostly well protecting Sayin. However, the line had frequent lapses in run blocking all season and even faltered in pass protection against elite defensive lines. Bowen received criticism after the season for keeping Ian Moore on the bench after his solid outing against Miami and for bringing in Ethan Onianwa, who failed to secure a starting tackle spot.
Two questions come to mind when evaluating this keep. First, were there better options? Honestly, I would say yes. Eric Mateos from Arkansas (now at [H]Wisconsin) and Jim Harding from Utah (now at *gags* [H]Michigan) coached great lines with significantly less to work with last season, and Ohio State had the resources to make competing bids. Probing the NFL was also an option.
However, was it worth firing Bowen after just one season to risk getting one of them? I am less sure about this question. His experience as a recruiter is something we haven't had in this spot for a while. It also doesn't feel fair to say Bowen had a "bad first year" when the line was good enough for a pocket-passing first-year starting QB to be a Heisman finalist. Improvement is possible, for sure. But is this the type of performance that gets you canned in year one? Not usually.
As he gets another year to focus solely on the offensive line, hopefully Bowen will improve. But for now, I think this keep was the right call.
Grade: B
Defensive Line Coach / Associate Head Coach: Larry Johnson
The age-old debate: when is Larry Johnson retiring? Next year or in two decades?
Defensive linemen sometimes take longer to develop, but this year was a reminder of what happens when you give Coach Johnson time to cook. Caden Curry and Kenyatta Jackson were a fierce duo on the edge, and the interior was solid thanks to the work of Eddrick Houston, Tywone Malone Jr., and breakout star Kayden McDonald.
While roster management is a changing game, Johnson has remained up to the task with his pro development. The same mind that helped develop Chase Young and the Bosa brothers is continuing to pull in recruits, such as D. J. Jacobs, the #1 defensive end recruit in the 2027 class. We have also seen transfers come in under the same pitch, most notably the Alabama duo of James Smith and Qua Russaw.
There are very few complaints about Johnson that I hold. We have recruited and played better at the position in the past, but having Jacobs committed is a great start for the near future, even if verbal commitments are no longer as solid as they used to be.
Judging his role as an associate head coach without getting into guesswork is challenging, much like with coach Bailey. However, the group is not the best it's been in several years, so I can't give it an A+. Even so, it is still a solid grade.
Grade: A
Linebackers Coach: James Laurinaitis
Enter stage right, we have our Brian Hartline of the defense.
Less than 15 years ago, James Laurinaitis led the NFL in tackles. Now, in only his second year as a full-time linebacker coach, both of Ohio State’s starting linebackers are entering the draft as expected first-round picks.
As a recruiter, Laurinaitis has continuously recruited high-pedigree prospects both in and out of state, such as Riley Pettijohn (TX), T. J. Alford (FL), and newly-minted #1 linebacker in 2026, Cincere Johnson (OH).
Excellent on-field coach, great recruiter, no signs of slowing down. If Bailey is my pick for our best position coach on offense, Laurinaitis is easily my pick for our best position coach on defense.
Grade: A+
Secondary & Cornerbacks Coach / Co-Defensive Coordinator: Tim Walton
Tim Walton was the main internal candidate for Ohio State's defensive coordinator vacancy after Jim Knowles left for Penn State due to his wide-ranging resume. Though he has stayed put in his position, he was given additional responsibilities as the team’s co-defensive coordinator.
He has continued to do his thing and do it well. Devin Sanchez, the crown jewel of his recruitment record, is expected to be a starter next season. Other recruits he's brought in include Jermaine Mathews Jr., Jordan Thomas, Bryce West, and five-stars Aaron Scott Jr. and Jay Timmons. Although some of these names have transferred out, his transfer portal record is impressive as well, bringing in Davison Igbinosun previously and now Dominick Kelly and Cam Calhoun.
We have not had any first-round corners for a while, such as a Jeff Okudah or a Denzel Ward, but he consistently produces draft picks at the position, such as the aforementioned Igbinosun and fifth-round pick Denzel Burke, who has secured himself a starting job in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals. Not the best room on the team, but a strength for sure.
The only concerning sign from Walton’s group has been the mass exodus of transfers, but as mentioned earlier, he has responded well to this development by taking transfers of his own. I would also argue it is more a consequence of the changing recruitment landscape and NIL than it is of him, so I see little reason to dock his grade.
Should Ohio State's defensive coordinator position open up again in the near future, I believe Walton will be the top internal candidate for the position yet again due to his experience and expertise.
Grade: A
Safeties Coach / Passing Game Coordinator: Matt Guerrieri
There are a lot of similarities between Matt Guerrieri and Tim Walton. Both were internal candidates for the defensive coordinator position last year. Both saw responsibilities added alongside their roles as position coaches. And lastly, both rooms saw mass exoduses in the transfer portal.
Fortunately for us, Guerrieri is also like his colleague in putting excellent players on the field. Caleb Downs, Jaylen McClain, and Lorenzo Styles Jr. were a fearsome trio in the defensive backfield. As for the passing offense, it was the most potent part of our game last season, which is gravy for Guerrieri’s resume.
In terms of the transfers, Guerrieri raided the ACC by bringing in Florida State's Earl Little Jr. and Duke's Terry Moore, both of whom are expected to be plug-and-play starters next season. He has also shown himself to be a capable recruiter, flipping Kaden Gebhardt from Clemson and securing Blaine Bradford, which required him to fight tooth and nail with LSU, his hometown team.
The most awkward part of the evaluation for me is that he had a healthy Caleb Downs in his position group all season long. Is it fair for me to give Guerrieri the same grade as Walton when the latter didn't have a juggernaut like Downs in the room?
While Guerrieri does deserve credit for developing Downs for two seasons, he was the SEC Freshman of the Year at Alabama. For this reason, it feels appropriate to me to [I]slightly curve the grade downwards. That being said, the phenomenal on-field product cannot be overlooked, so it will still be an A.
Grade: A-
Special Teams Coordinator: Robby Discher
Our fanbase has been made well aware of our woes at kicker these past few seasons. Furthermore, with the speed demons we have had on our team, such as TreVeyon Henderson and Emeka Egbuka, it has been surprising to me how rarely we get big kick returns.
Though I am still pretty thrilled about this play.
All this to say, the need for improvement is well-documented.
Our last special teams coordinator, Parker Fleming, was an internal hire who had been a quality control coach of special teams for a couple of years. Meanwhile, coach Discher has served as a special teams coordinator for nearly 10 years for teams such as Illinois, Louisiana, and Tulane. The hire itself feels appropriate.
The bigger question is whether Ohio State should have hired a coordinator at all, or if they should leave it to quality control coaches or other assistants as they have been. There is no limit to the number of full-time assistant coaches Ryan Day can hire (though there is a limit on the number of off-campus recruiters). However, special teams hardly improved the last time Ohio State brought in a full-time special teams coordinator.
From my perspective, this hire is a win-win. Even if he fails, Discher was a qualified enough candidate that Day could be more confident in choosing to move away assets from special teams than he was with Fleming, who simply may not have been ready for the position. If he succeeds, Day can just keep him or hire another qualified coordinator in his place.
At best, he rejuvenates our special teams. At worst, he answers a question for Day in the modern coaching landscape. I think it's a solid hire, albeit the one I am the least confident in of the "coordinators."
Grade: B
Offensive Coordinator: Arthur Smith
For the team's biggest vacancy this offseason, Ohio State took a similar philosophy to their hiring of Matt Patricia last season and picked up a former NFL head coach to fill the second full-time position left open by Brian Hartline.
Smith, a former offensive lineman, worked his way up from offensive quality control coach to NFL offensive coordinator in seven years. His playcalling was a vital part of the Tennessee Titans’ playoff run in 2019, when they defeated the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots and 1-seeded Baltimore Ravens before losing to the eventual champion Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship.
However, he had a disappointing tenure as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Specifically, he received heavy criticism for underutilizing core offensive talents such as Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson. The next year, as an offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh, his offense was uninspiring, though debate continues as to whether this was due to the personnel he had to work with or his lack of skill as a coordinator.
While I understand the concerns, I really like this hire for a few reasons.
Firstly, he is very experienced in his role. Smith is a football-savvy veteran who is suitable to be the "head coach of the offense." Ryan Day will not have to mentor him on the job or play tug-of-war for playcalling duties. Additionally, the players will know they are being coached in college by someone who knows what it takes to succeed in the NFL.
Secondly, his background fits the team's needs. As a former offensive lineman whose best offenses capitalized heavily on the run, he is a good add for a team that struggled with run blocking. Smith will also have access to Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith, the best quarterback-wide receiver duo he has ever had compared to his level of competition, which should help him on the passing side of the offense.
Finally, he has coached in the same spot at a higher level. Even disappointing offensive coordinators in the NFL are immensely talented coaches: the worst offensive coordinator last season was Chip Kelly, who led our offense to a national title in 2024. To even sniff an NFL offensive coordinator position (and he was fielding interviews this offseason) speaks to the fact that he is talented enough to work in the same role in college.
The final thing that makes me comfortable about this hire is that Ryan Day will still have significant say. On the off chance that Smith's demons from Atlanta come back and he gameplans a bit too heavily around Brody Lennon or David Adolph, I believe Day will be firm with him.
Much like Hankton, Day hired someone who is the opposite of Hartline in some ways. Even so, this does not make it a bad hire, as Smith offers advantages with his experience as a playcaller and veteran NFL coach that Hartline did not.
Grade: A-
Defensive Coordinator: Matt Patricia
Hmm... I don't know about this one, guys. Let's take a look.
The best defense in the country by yards and points allowed per game.
Four projected first-round picks in the 2026 NFL draft on defense.
All as a first-year collegiate defensive coordinator for a hire that was pretty controversial around the time it happened.
Need I say more?
Yes, the players deserve credit for their talent and contributions, but it still takes a good coordinator to utilize those players to create the single best defense in the country. There's a reason I still gave Guerrieri an A. There are also multiple players, such as Arvell Reese and Kayden McDonald, who broke out in Patricia’s defense.
And yes, it could be a flash-in-the-pan, but it'd be stupid to lower his grade for that reason. We also could go 0-12, Julian Sayin could transfer out, and we could fire Ryan Day. Anything could theoretically happen. But based on the information we have, those things are unlikely. Same with Patricia, as the results on-field were immaculate.
All in all, very easy grade. Good job, Patricia. Let's try to replicate this success next year.
Grade: A+
Head Coach: Ryan Day
This is simultaneously the least and most difficult section because, as the team's "CEO," EVERYTHING I mentioned in this entire blog falls at the feet of Ryan Day for one reason or another.
The best defense in the nation and a great offense led by a Heisman-finalist quarterback in his first season as a starter? To some extent, those are the results of Day's coaching and decisions.
On the other end, two disappointing losses, a lack of progression in the run game, no playoff victories, and no Big Ten Championship? Those are [I]also the results of Day's coaching and decisions to some extent.
As someone who has been labelled a "sunshine pumper" for my optimism, my grade will surprise very few people who know me well. So I would like to give three reasons why I am giving Day the grade I am:
Firstly, character. Head coaches receive loads of publicity, and for the most part, Day has steered clear of controversy. He doesn't dump on his players in public. He doesn't go on tirades on Twitter about other teams. He doesn't publicly tease the idea of going somewhere else. It's not that he's]never done anything controversial, but he generally doesn't make himself the center of attention. He is clearly about the team, the players, and pushing them to be the best they can be.
Secondly, results. Few coaches can compare to the level of results he has put up at his level. Three of his teams finished in the top 3, five have finished in the top 5, and none of his teams have finished outside of the top 10. Day has won two Big Ten titles and one national title. He has the highest winning percentage of any active FBS coach in the sport, as a first-time head coach no less, and he has only ever lost to an unranked team once.
Thirdly, consistency. Being "okay" will not suffice at an elite program. It is exceedingly uncommon to see head coaches "coast" on elite talent for this long. When coaches coast on being “just good” at major programs, they usually either end up fired or are the subject of constant speculation. Perhaps the most damning thing on Day's resume is his record against Michigan, but even without factoring in the extraneous circumstances from 2020-2023, he has 2 wins against them as a head coach, both in Ann Arbor, so he has clearly proven he is capable of winning in The Game.
Lastly, if none of these reasons are convincing you, I would like to ask one question.
Is there truly a realistic and better option for Ohio State than Ryan Day?
Let’s see if there is a feasible answer to that question.
I wouldn't be offended if someone told me they would rather have Kirby Smart or Curt Cignetti. I'd disagree with them, but I would understand their argument. Even so, both Cignetti and Smart are on lucrative extensions and will not be leaving their teams for Ohio State, so let's cross them off the list.
Even if Urban Meyer or Nick Saban returned to coaching, both options present concerns. Meyer had longevity concerns throughout his whole coaching career and had his worst performance both on and off the field in Jacksonville, while Saban was beginning to decline in his last couple of seasons at Alabama. Neither would be a sure upgrade over Day.
As for NFL head coaches, it is rare to see them step down to college because it’s usually a steep pay decrease. The most notable time it happened recently was Jim Harbaugh returning to Michigan, which was a disappointing regime... until he miraculously rebounded later on, which I assure you had absolutely nothing to do with any rule violations or sign-stealing. Please don't look at his coaching record before and after Connor Stallions was hired, I'm begging you.
The only NFL head coaches with similar ties to our program are Jeff Hafley, who was just hired by the Miami Dolphins, and Mike Vrabel, who just won NFL Coach of the Year and was in the Super Bowl in his first year with New England. Neither coach is coming here, at least not for a few years.
If we wanted to swipe a coach from another program, we could roll the dice on Lane Kiffin, Dabo Sweeney, or Marcus Freeman. However, Kiffin has major concerns of his own, Dabo is well past his prime, and Freeman lost to Day head-to-head. While coaches like Mario Cristobal, Dan Lanning, or even Curt Cignetti arguably had better seasons last year, Day has shown he can reach the same peaks just last season, and none compare to him in terms of long-term success.
What about up-and-comers who are assistant coaches or head coaches at a lower-level school? Sure, there's upside in a Jon Sumrall or a Pete Golding-type hire, but those hires are as attractive as they are risky. See guys like Billy Napier (Louisiana to Florida), Scott Frost (UCF to Nebraska), Ryan Walters (Illinois DC to Purdue), or Brent Pry (Penn State DC to Virginia Tech), just to name a few.
Simply put, there isn't a single coach in the country that has the combination of character, success, or longevity that Day does. The ones that do are either tied to another collegiate program or an NFL franchise. Coach Day is commonly regarded as a top 5 or even top 3 coach after what was a disappointing season for many fans.
For this reason, I have often said after decisions he's made: "In Day We Trust."
