Jake Diebler took to the microphone with a vast array of emotions behind his words on Friday.
He cares deeply for Chris Holtmann and feels for the now-former Ohio State head coach after he was fired on Wednesday. But, in stepping up for the team as interim head coach, he felt no hesitancy. Diebler said the best way he can serve the program is to be the "best version of himself," not Holtmann or someone else.
Bruce Thornton followed Diebler at the presser and went through how he and his teammates are processing the emotions of the coaching change.
