Just think if we had Warinner here in 2008 when Block O came on campus...

Or any other time better blocking would have come in handy.

High-energy assistant coach Ed Warinner has transformed the Ohio State offensive line

Columbus, Ohio -- Urban Meyer knows what he wants in an offensive line coach.

"My vision of a line coach is the toughest guy on your staff," Meyer said this week. "And we've got a very tough coach. They've got to be pushed, and the good thing is, they're responding."

Who is that tough coach? He's a former quarterback, running back and defensive back from a 30-man football team at Strasburg High School, a leading rusher as a running back at Mount Union and a coach who got a leg up in the business early on due to his computer knowledge.

So Ed Warinner, 51, didn't live the life of a lineman. But he's showing in his first year with the Buckeyes that he knows what to do with them.

Replacing an offensive line coach in Jim Bollman who, by the end of his career in Columbus, endured a lot of criticism from fans, Warinner has jumped in and seen his group cited by Meyer as the main reason the No. 8 Buckeyes have beaten Michigan State and Nebraska the past two weeks.

"I think his aggressive manner has something to do with that," said Ron Hurst, Warinner's former high school coach.

The linemen, without hesitation, agree.

"Coach Bollman was a lot more technique sound and low energy, and he liked to teach you a lot," said junior right guard Marcus Hall. "Coach Warinner, I'm not saying he's not technique sound, but he's a high-energy guy. He's always hyped and loud and screaming, ready to go, so we're always pumped up around coach Warinner. He has a demanding attitude, and he always tells us we'd better be ready to go when we leave that meeting room for practice."

It's simply amazing to me how quickly the OL group has went from being near critical condition to stable and improving. 2 reasons for this: We closed out the 2012 class with a few awesome gets in O'Connor, Decker and Dodson and then we have the influence of Coach Warinner. Does anyone even remember how bad of shape it looked like we would be in with this position group and the OL prospects last fall? My goodness how quickly things change. If we somehow land Dorian Johnson I think it will be the quickest turn around for a position group I have ever seen. Even without him the impact of Coach Warinner can not be overstated. Dude is the real deal and he is my vote for best assistant coach this year. No disrespect to Herman who has been solid too but Warinner has been to the O Line like Alan Mulally has been to Ford Motor. Perfect guy for the job.

Edit: Tons of credit needs to be placed on the starters too of course, I just meant that they have been coached VERY well and the cupboards went from bare to fairly well stocked seemingly overnight with regards to depth issues. Read somewhere that Jimmy Byrne has been paying close attention to our line this year and is very impressed with what he has seen. We would never get that kind of response out of the walrus.

I agree with ShowMeBuck. Coach Warinner has done a fantastic job with our O Line, and even the 2nd team came in against Illinois and kept moving the ball down the field. It's exciting to think about some of the young guys (such as Decker, Farris, O'Connor, Dodson, Jacoby Boren, Elflein, Lisle, and Gardner) and how good they will become.

The job Warriner has done has been border-line spectacular.

Losing the 3 best OL from last year and with little depth manufacturing a superb OL is a miracle. Keep in mind the class brought in to suceed the Block O consisted of Brown, Underwood, Bobek, and Carter.
The OL is the strength of the team (along with Miller).

As a side note provided without comment.
BC and their historically top shelf ground game ranks 118 and they have 0 OL commits for the class of 2013.

FIFY.

No disrespect, but "stable and healthy" shouldn't be the catch phrase for this year's OL. They have outright dominated the LoS after a couple of games of "stable and healthy" performance. I am the first one to get excited when the OL performs, and I have to say that they are a very good unit this year. This is awesome work by Warinner.

Coach Ed Warinner a Broyles Nominee
Buckeyes are a Top 10 rushing team and have a 30-year high 36 rushing touchdowns

Nov. 22, 2012

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Ed Warinner is one of 29 nominees for the 2012 Broyles Award, which honors the top assistant college football coach in America.

Warinner, from Strasburg, Ohio and a graduate of Mount Union, has coached and developed the offensive line into what coach Urban Meyer calls the "identity" of the team.
Comprised of left tackle Jack Mewhort, left guard Andrew Norwell, center Corey Linsley, right guard Marcus Hall and right tackle Reid Fragel, the offensive line has become a force that has the Buckeyes ranked ninth nationally in rushing (245.5 ypg) and has improved its sacks allowed ranking 30 places since last season with 22 fewer sacks.

The entire five-man unit was named the team's offensive player of the game following a 17-16 win at Michigan State to open the Big Ten season. The next game it steamrolled Nebraska for 371 rushing yards and six touchdowns.

I honestly can't remember the last time I've felt this confident about being in 3rd and short and especially 4th and short. In the Bollman years you had to wonder whether the o-line could pick up even half a yard when it mattered.

OSU needs to pay Coach Warinner whatever he wants.
