First of all, kudos for paying attention. To clarify that, I'll try and state it as plainly as possible, a former Buckeye coach who would have had the responsibility of coaching Holley was not as keen on the 6-foot-4, 285-pound defensive tackle as others on the Buckeye staff were. Now that said coach has departed, the possibility does in fact exist that Holley's interest in Ohio State — and vice versa — will crank back up. If Holley is able to "move past" the notion that he wasn't "wanted" by Ohio State and chalk it up to a single coach's opinion, Johnson could definitely bring him to Columbus with him. I do believe that as the former coach was able to decide against Holley, Johnson would be able to choose in his favor when it comes to Urban Meyer's ultimate verdict on the matter.

I doubt Holley would be against reopening his recruitment with Ohio State if the feeling was mutual, especially with Johnson on staff now. If Johnson convinces Urban he wants him on the line, I couldn't see a scenario where Holley would go anywhere else.

Wow, Johnson was just hired at OSU, Holley didn't wait long to make this move. Good luck at Florida, they may have a worse record than Penn State next season.

Obviously no insider info here, but wouldn't surprise me (particularly with the speed of the flip) if a)Holley had no plans of coming here after we cut it off earlier, or b)he was told that hiring Johnson didn't change anything.
