He's 3 years from vesting his pension in OH, so a move back here for him was always desired. Then to get the chance to coach on staff for his LONG-TIME friend was a no-brainer for him.

Someone on the first page asked about recruiting chops on a 1-10 scale... I'd put him at least 8.5. Was one of the top 2 recruiters on the ND staff.

COLUMBUS -- Tim Hinton stepped to the podium, where he barely was eye level with the microphone, and made a crack about his height.

"I'm not very tall, but right now I feel very tall," said Hinton, one of six new additions to Urban Meyer's Ohio State coaching staff introducted to the media Thursday. "I'm just as excited as can be. Coming to Ohio State was absolutely the right thing to do."

Hinton, in charge of the tight ends and fullbacks, will be a familiar name and face to many central Ohio football fans because of the 11 years he spent as head coach at Marion Harding. From there, he spent six years working at Cincinnati under former OSU defensive coordinator and Zanesville native Mark Dantonio, and then Brian Kelly, before spending the past two years at Notre Dame with Kelly.

Hinton, who grew up outside of Lancaster and graduated from Amanda-Clearcreek, had no reservations about leaving the Irish for a program rocked by scandal in 2011 and facing a bowl ban this coming season.

He said he got a call from Meyer at 10 a.m. the day after Notre Dame returned from its bowl game and accepted the job, literally, the next minute.

"I've been the luckiest guy in the world the last eight years," Hinton said. "I've been to the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, Big East champion. I've gotten the chance to work with Mark Dantonio and Brian Kelly and now Urban Meyer. Who gets that ride in their lifetime?"

Jan. 13, 2012


COLUMBUS, Ohio - Urban Meyer has his Ohio State coaching staff assembled. Today, Meyer announced the addition to his staff of two veteran collegiate coaches who have a combined 58 years of coaching experience: Ed Warinner will coordinate the running game as the team's co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach, and Tim Hinton will be the tight ends and fullbacks coach. Both coaches were at the University of Notre Dame the past two seasons under coach Brian Kelly.
"I was very pleased with the coaches already in place on this staff," Meyer said, "and now we've gotten even better with the additions of Ed Warinner and Tim Hinton. Both are excellent coaches who bring a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge to our staff."
Warinner, the offensive line coach the past two years at Notre Dame and who had the added responsibility of run game coordinator this past season, will coach his 29th collegiate season in 2012. He was a finalist this past season for the FootballScoop Offensive Line Coach of the Year. He has nine years of experience in a coordinator position, including three years as offensive coordinator at Kansas when the Jayhawks averaged 445.5 total yards per game and 35.3 points during that three-year period.
"I really wanted to hire a coach with coordinator experience," Meyer said. "That was very important to me. Ed has that experience. His offenses at Kansas were not only impressive, but they were some of the top offenses in the country."
Hinton, running backs coach during his two years at Notre Dame, will be in his 17th collegiate coaching season next year and his 31st year of coaching overall. His coaching resume includes 11 highly successful seasons as the head coach at Harding High School in Marion, Ohio. He led Harding to five state playoff berths and five conference titles and he was the 1995 Ohio Division I co-Coach of the Year.

"Tim is an awesome coach," Meyer said. "He and I worked together on the Ohio State staff in 1986, but what I am most impressed with is his time spent as a high school coach in Ohio. He had some outstanding teams at Harding and his extensive experiences coaching in the state were crucial in my desire to want him on our staff." Both coaches are Ohio natives who have also recruited the state for many years.

...

Hinton is from Amanda. He is a 1982 graduate of Wilmington College with a degree in industrial education and he has a master's degree in educational policy and leadership from Ohio State (1987).

Tim Hinton - Tight Ends and Fullbacks
Hinton's 30 seasons of coaching experience includes 16 seasons in the collegiate ranks with positions at Ohio State, Wilmington, Ohio, Cincinnati and Notre Dame, and 14 years as a head coach at three Ohio high schools: Zane Trace (1987-88); Van Wert (1989) and Harding (1993-2003).
"I have always felt it would be an honor to have an opportunity to coach for and to represent Ohio State," Hinton said. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to work with great people and great coaches at such a wonderful place."
This past season Notre Dame running back Cierre Wood rushed for 1,102 yards and nine touchdowns. In 2010, a quartet of Notre Dame rushers combined for 1,517 yards and a 4.8 yards per carry average and, impressively, fumbled only twice all season and both occurred in the same game.
Excellent ball protection was also evident among Hinton's running backs at the University of Cincinnati, where he coached six years between 2004-09, including three seasons under former Ohio State assistant and current Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio. Neither of his two leading rushers during the 2009 UC season lost a fumble in 195 carries.
Hinton, who is 51, spent his first three seasons as running backs coach for Dantonio's Bearcats teams. After coaching linebackers for the first year of the Kelly administration, he moved back to running backs for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
Dantonio pulled Hinton from the high school ranks back into the college ranks after Hinton's 11-year run at Harding High School, where in addition to directing his teams to five state playoff appearances, he developed 13 players who would go on to major college programs. He was extremely active in the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association, serving as an officer for six years, including vice-president of the organization in 2003.
"I've either coached or recruited in the state of Ohio for my entire 30-year coaching career," Hinton said. "I still have great friends in the state. Ohio high school coaches are a unique group of individuals. They are excellent coaches, very professional, extremely loyal and they have great passion for the game."
Three seasons at Ohio University, coaching the wide receivers in 1990 and the defensive line in 1991-92, preceded Hinton's position at Harding and followed his first two head coaching positions at Zane Trace and Van Wert high schools, respectively.
While attending Wilmington College, Hinton was an assistant coach at Amanda-Clearcreek High School for three seasons (1978-80) and then parlayed that experience into a student-assistant position at Wilmington that started in 1981 and concluded in 1984. Wilmington won two conference titles during that time and made two appearances in the NAIA playoffs.
Hinton then enrolled at Ohio State to coach in a graduate assistant capacity for two seasons (1985-86) under Earle Bruce and to work on his master's degree. The Buckeyes went to two bowl games and earned a share of the 1986 Big Ten championship.
Hinton and his wife, Bev, have two daughters: Dawn and Drew.

COLUMBUS - Before Tim Hinton took over as head football coach at Van Wert High School in 1989, he served as a graduate assistant under Coach Earle Bruce at the Ohio State University - alongside another up-and-coming graduate assistant named Urban Meyer.

The relationship between Hinton and Meyer came full circle last January when new Ohio State Coach Meyer invited Hinton to join his staff, this time as the fullbacks and tight ends coach.

Hinton accepted the job and returned to the state in which he spent almost 30 years coaching high school and college football - including a brief stop at Van Wert High School, where he served as head coach during the 1989 season.

"I was willing to start and stay around for the long-haul. Unfortunately, in this business, sometimes you can't. It's why I was there a very short period of time. But I'm grateful I was there," Hinton said of his days as a Cougar.

Former Harding coach Tim Hinton thrilled to be back at Ohio State

COLUMBUS - At 10 p.m. on a January night in South Bend, Ind., Tim Hinton was gearing up for the stretch run of recruiting season. The affable former Marion Harding head coach had just completed his second season as an assistant at Notre Dame and 13th in college football.

Soon his phone rang, and on the other end was longtime friend and colleague Urban Meyer, the newly minted Ohio State head coach. Meyer wasn't calling to chit-chat about the spread offense or take a trip down memory lane. Instead, he wanted Hinton be a part of the "best group of assistant coaches in America," as Meyer referred to his soon-to-be-hired staff at his introductory press conference in November.

At 10:01, Hinton responded with a "yes."
Back to Ohio

Twenty-six years after he departed Ohio State as a graduate assistant, Hinton returns as the tight ends/fullbacks coach. Needless to say, the Ohio native, whose family has held Buckeye season-tickets since 1950, is in a position he's always coveted. Hinton even went as far to admit that he'd always get tabs on Ohio State during his time at Cincinnati and Notre Dame.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world," he said. "There's no doubt about that. I tell people that on a consistent basis. Nine years ago, I was a high school coach in Ohio. I really had no intentions of leaving Harding. Coach (Mark) Dantonio and I had a talk, and I actually called him to try and help him get the (University of Cincinnati) job because I knew some people down there. In the same conversation he told me, 'I think I'm getting it, are you coming with me?' Wow, the conversation really flipped.
