So on the hands team, there was a #5 and a #42 out on the field. Thanks to the black nameplates, I can't tell if these were blanks that players changed into in order to avoid a number conflict. I do believe 42 was Philly Brown, with Shazier on the field. Looks like 5 was Wilson, but can't confirm...anybody with help?

They mentioned before the play that number 10 was switching to 42 and number 2 was switching to 5. So either Shazier or Philly was in 42 and either Bryant or Hall was in 5.

Kerry Coombs, the special teams coordinator, worked at the high school level for 24 years, transforming Colerain into a powerhouse.

The voice that echoes across the practice field, that seems to be coming from a megaphone, belongs to Kerry Coombs, the special teams coordinator and cornerbacks coach.

He worked at the high school level for 24 years, transforming Colerain High School, near Cincinnati, into a football powerhouse. When he left to coach at Cincinnati, he tried to change his style, to make it more collegelike, less rah-rah. That lasted less than a month.

Coombs still remembers the coach from Bowling Green who stopped at his office at Colerain. The coach arrived alone, without an entourage, without the usual assistant driver, to inquire about a recruit. In 24 years, that was the only time a big-time coach had arrived alone, and he bristled when Coombs asked why.

“I can’t do this myself?” Urban Meyer asked him.

From Bob Hunter's Rumblings:

Miami University fired coach Don Treadwell a few weeks ago. Insiders say Ohio State cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs could be a good fit, and they expect the parties to at least sit down after the regular season.
Coombs was a longtime coach at Colerain High School in northwest Cincinnati, less than 25 miles from the Miami campus in Oxford, before joining Brian Kelly’s staff at the University of Cincinnati. Urban Meyer hired him two years ago to fill out his staff at Ohio State.
The energetic Coombs is considered a bulldog of a recruiter with strong ties to high-school coaches in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

Regrettably... he'd be a great fit.. love his energy and enthusiasm...

No doubt, Urban has an asst-wishlist in his pocket ... he asked for a 2 yr commit when he recruited them

If he had wanted to be a head coach somewhere, he would've been one a long time back. He would've been a better hire than Tommy Tupperville. At least, that's the feeling I get. I don't think Coach Coombs wants to be a head coach.

I'm not sure that he really had enough of a resume before his time at tOSU. Frankly, it's still a bit thin. Not that I think he's doing anything but a great job, but his time at this level is pretty short.

That said, he'd tear apart SW Ohio in recruiting. Nobody south of I70 and west of I71 would leave for another MAC school... And he'd likely get a few non-tOSU B1G kids to stay home as well.
