Ohio State Football: Former Buckeye Vrabel becoming a top-notch coach

Mike Vrabel is one of the best defensive players to ever play for the Ohio State football team as he was a two-time Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year. He then went on to have an excellent career in the NFL, winning three Super Bowls, earning a First Team All-Pro selection and a Pro Bowl selection in 2007, and being named to Sports Illustrated All-Decade Team from 2000 to 2009.

Now, he is excelling as a head football coach.

Vrabel found success as Ohio State’s linebackers coach and defensive line coach from 2011 through 2013, and then as the Houston Texans linebackers coach from 2014 through 2016, and their defensive coordinator in 2017.
