Ohio State Football News: Former assistant Tyler Hughes lands Minot State job

In Ohio State football news today, former Ohio State Buckeyes assistant coach Tyler Hughes is now the new head coach at Minot State, according to the Associated Press.

Per the AP report, "the school says Hughes, who is currently the head coach at Southern Virginia University, accepted the offer Saturday afternoon."

Hughes spent a year under Urban Meyer with the Buckeyes before accepting the head coaching job at Southern Virginia. Hughes replaces the recently hired Todd Hoffner, who decided to return to his old job in Minnesota despite accepting the offer to coach at Minot State.

According to the Associated Press article, "MSU hired Hoffner in late January. He decided to return to Minnesota State, Mankato, last week. An arbitrator recently ruled that Hoffner had been wrongly fired from the Minnesota school about a year ago after charges were dismissed in an unfounded child pornography case."

Hughes spent two years at Snow College in Utah where he went 20-4 in two seasons as head coach.
