Joe never played for Kerry at Colerain. pretty much 100% that Bolden was brought on as a QC coach from Washington State (Grad assistant) by Mattison.

But didn't his dad coach under Coombs and inherit the Colerain program from Coombs? I thought that was their connection as well. But can also see him coming here because of Mattison

Tom Bolden is Joe's uncle. and I stand corrected. I found the article out of Detroit in Spike's thread and it does state that it was Kerry who brought him in as a QC.

Dunno about the LB thing......when you have 5*'s sitting on the bench, and have to move a RB and a TE to play LB, that suggests that a) not a ton of talent at LB; b) what is there was not developed properly; c) players didn't 'get' the scheme; d) didn't have the drive or moxie to play LB. Or whatever I missed. No, Washington's not Bill Davis, but he's had -what- three years to make improvements? Agree with buchtelgrad that the LBs have made progress, only not enough with the raw materials at hand. I'd be surprised if Knowles keeps him, or maybe he will, coaching the coach, or taking over the position himself. Many variables without knowing the new DC. We'll see what plays out pretty soon I'm thinking. Nothing seems to be in the wind about Coombs does it? The DBs underperformed for the last two years as well. Go Bucks!

I can't remember a time when OSU was more bare boned at LB. We are converting TE's and getting transfer portal running backs to play LB. It's really ridiculous.

Injuries and transfers are to blame for the depth. There’s enough talent in the LB room to field a good-to-great unit. Maybe even elite.

Once there is a cohesive scheme, I think LB play greatly improves. There were no LB issues the last time we had a good DC.

I would like to agree with you. I just don't see the elite you are referring to. This program used to be linebacker U.

When is the last time OSU got a 5 star LB recruit?
