The start of the 2019 calendar year brought a lot of change to an Ohio State football program that saw a good amount of stability throughout the Urban Meyer years.
A new head coach in Ryan Day followed by new coordinators in Greg Mattison, Jeff Hafley and Mike Yurcich. Also a new linebackers coach in Al Washington and a new special teams coordinator and assistant secondary coach in Matt Barnes.
While Day’s new hires were mostly homerun hires, it was the staff that he decided to keep in place that proved to be the backbone of this program.
