Patience, Belief in Ohio State Paying Off for New Tight Ends Coach Keenan Bailey

Keenan Bailey didn’t have to wait as long as he did to become a full-time college football position coach.

As he worked his way up through the ranks of Ohio State’s support staff from offensive intern to senior advisor to the head coach over the past seven years, Bailey received numerous offers to join coaching staffs elsewhere. But as Bailey considered all of those opportunities, he decided every time his heart was in Columbus.

More specifically, Bailey chose to stay at Ohio State every time because of the people within the Ohio State football program, from Ryan Day and Mickey Marotti and the rest of the Buckeyes’ coaches to the players he’s helped coach.
