Former Ohio State DC Kerry Coombs Hired as Cincinnati Cornerbacks Coach
Luke Fickell continued to bolster his coaching staff on Tuesday with the addition of former Ohio State DC Kerry Coombs.
Coombs (60) is a familiar face in the Queen City, holding experience as the Bearcats’ defensive backs coach from 2007-11. Running up success in the heat of the late Brian Kelly era, he made the move to Ohio State in 2012, and in 2017 his hard work landed him a job as the defensive backs coach for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. The Cincinnati native also produced a stint with local Colerain high school from 1991 to 2006, where he won a state title and fancied a 161-34 record as head coach.
