Due to the excellent coaching staff’s put together by both Urban Meyer and current Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, Buckeye assistant coaches are often mentioned as possible candidates to vacant head coaching positions throughout the country.
This offseason, Ryan Day lost his co-defensive coordinator in Jeff Hafley to Boston College. In the past, Urban Meyer lost the likes of Everett Withers, Luke Fickell, Tom Herman and Chris Ash to head coaching positions. Meyer also lost current Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel to the NFL.
Ryan Day will need to always be prepared for his coaches leaving via head coaching positions.
