Chris Holtmann doesn’t pretend to know – or care, really – about fashion.
In mid-December, he noted that Jake Diebler, Ohio State’s youngest assistant coach at 33 years old, has a different style than him, though he made sure to note that’s “not saying much.” Typically, his game-day outfits avoid flair in favor of a clean but conventional look.
When his tailor asked him whether he wanted a special jacket to wear ahead of his team’s throwback game in St. John Arena in 2018, he initially declined, though his wife, Lori, was present and said he did.
