Q&A with Michigan Beat Writer Isaiah Hole on What Greg Mattison, Al Washington Will Bring to Ohio State

As Ryan Day revamps Ohio State's coaching staff entering his first season as head coach, Eleven Warriors is checking in with media members who covered the Buckeyes' new assistant coaches to get their insight on what those coaches could bring to Columbus.

Ohio State poached not one, but two defensive assistant coaches from Michigan this week, hiring Wolverines defensive line coach Greg Mattison as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Al Washington to fill the same role for the Buckeyes.

We caught up with Wolverines Wire publisher Isaiah Hole, who broke the news on Monday that Mattison would be leaving Michigan for Ohio State, to get his insight on both coaches, why they chose to leave Michigan, what they could bring to the Buckeyes both on the field and on the recruiting trail and how the Wolverines could move forward without them.
