Sources: Buckeyes fire coordinator Discher after multiple special teams gaffes
Ohio State has fired special teams coordinator Robby Discher, after allowing a critical fake punt conversion in Saturday's loss to Oregon, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Discher was in his first year at Ohio State after holding the same role at Illinois, where he also coached tight ends. He also has coached special teams at Tulane and Toledo. Ohio State led 14-3 and had forced an Oregon punt on fourth-and-9 from the Ducks' 31-yard line in Saturday's game, when Oregon's Teitum Tuioti threw a jump pass to fellow defensive lineman Matayo Uiagalelei for a 30-yard gain. The Ducks went on to score a touchdown, part of 38 unanswered points in Oregon's 41-28 win.
