Meyer Adds Two Veterans to Complete Coaching Staff
Ohio natives Ed Warinner and Tim Hinton have a combined 58 years of coaching experience

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."
...

Both coaches are Ohio natives who have also recruited the state for many years. Warinner is from Strasburg and has a bachelor's degree in physical education from Mount Union (1984) and a master's in education from Akron (1985).

Ed Warinner - Co-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line
Warinner, who is 50, has coached at seven different schools: Akron, Michigan State, Army, Air Force, Kansas, Illinois and Notre Dame. In addition to his nine years in coordinator positions, he has spent 15 of the past 20 seasons coaching the offensive line. He has coached on teams that have won four national rushing titles, and earlier this season Rivals.com named Warinner one of the Top 20 "hottest assistant coaches" in the nation.
"I've always strived to coach in positions where I have a lot of responsibility," Warinner said. "Serving as a coordinator goes beyond just coaching what my guys are doing. It is a thought process of attacking and moving the ball, and strategies and reading plays. There is a big picture as a coordinator that I am into and really enjoy, and it's a position from where I think I can make a significant contribution to the success of a team."
After opening his coaching career in 1984 at Akron (running backs), Warinner was linebackers and secondary coach at Michigan State in 1985-86.
Then came a 13-year run at Army, a period when he coached along the offensive line for seven years and became a coordinator - offensive - for the first time (1998-99). While Warinner was at Army the Cadets led the nation in rushing three times.
He left Army to join Fisher DeBerry's staff at Air Force. He spent three years there as the offensive line coach and the Falcons led the nation in rushing in 2002 (307.8 yards per game).
The first of two terms at Kansas - 2003-04 - ensued for Warinner, working as offensive line coach/run game coordinator, before a two-year run with Illinois in the same capacity. In his second season with the Illini, his rushing attack netted 188.3 yards per game which was the best by an Illinois team since 1973.
Warinner's talents as an offensive coordinator then took center stage from 2007-09 while at Kansas. The Jayhawks posted the three best offenses in terms of total yards and passing yards in those years and also had three of the top seven scoring seasons in school history as well.
His 2007 Jayhawks were the nation's second-highest scoring team (42.8 points per game) and set a school record by averaging 479.8 yards per game, two huge reasons that Kansas went 12-1 that year with a 24-21 FedEx Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech.
The 2008 Jayhawks averaged 432.4 yards and 33.4 points per game, respectively, and his final Jayhawk offense averaged 422.4 offensive yards, including a school-record 310.3 passing yards. Warinner was a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association's National Assistant Coach of the Year award following the 2009 campaign.
He then joined Kelly's staff at Notre Dame, where he helped the Irish to consecutive bowl games the past two years; the 2010 Hyundai Sun Bowl and the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl. In 2010 Notre Dame had its best per carry rushing average since 2003 (4.0), a figure that improved to 4.8 in 2011. The Irish offensive line allowed just 17 sacks this past season and only 20 in 2010.
And now he's coming home to coach in his home state.
"I have always dreamed of having an opportunity to coach at Ohio State," Warinner said. "Ohio State is a special place with special people and I am excited to be a part of it. I am really going to enjoy coaching here."
Warinner was a football and baseball letterman at Mount Union from 1979-83. He and his wife, Mary Beth, have three children: daughters Madisyn and Merideth, and a son, Edward.

Dienhart: Q&A with Ohio State?s Ed Warinner

Written by Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer

Urban Meyer has built an impressive staff at Ohio State. On defense, Meyer retained coordinator Luke Fickell and lured Everett Withers from North Carolina to help run the unit. On offense, Meyer tabbed Tom Herman from Iowa State to serve as coordinator. And the offense will be co-coordinated with Ed Warinner, one of the nation?s most respected?and underrated?offensive minds.

Warinner brings an impressive resume that includes stops at Notre Dame, Kansas (twice), Illinois, Air Force and Army, among other jobs. Warinner was offensive coordinator at Kansas and run-game coordinator at Illinois and Notre Dame, where he worked the past two seasons under Brian Kelly. Warinner?s Jayhawk offenses were among the best in the nation, helping Kansas cap a 12-1 season by beating Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl after the 2007 season.

Now, he wants to put his mark on Ohio State as co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Warinner?s primary task will be coordinating the running game. The Ohio native and 1984 Mount Union graduate has worked with four offenses during his career that have led the nation in rushing.

Warinner is taking over a line in flux. Gone are center Michael Brewster along with tackles Mike Adams and J.B. Shugarts. The unit began taking shape in the spring, with Jack Mewhort at left tackle; Andrew Norwell at left guard; Marcus Hall at right guard; Corey Linsley at center. Right tackle? It?s a work-in-progress with three players battling.

I caught up with Warinner to get his thoughts on the Buckeye offense and line while he?s on the road recruiting.

Q: What can fans expect to see from the Ohio State offense under Urban Meyer?
A: More balance, for sure. As things wound down last year, I think they were throwing the ball about 10 times a game. They will see more spread formations. They?ll see more option-oriented offense in terms of the quarterback having options to give, run, pitch ? things like that. They were more of a power, I formation, down-hill run team last year. We have some elements of that. But we will spread it around. We have some playmakers. We have good running backs and tight ends who can do some things and we are developing some wideouts. It will be about getting the ball into playmakers? hands.
