Re: Reports of Coombs' leaving for the Titans surfaced on Jan. 24 and five days later Ohio State announced Coombs' departure from the program.

Coombs spent six years as a Buckeyes, serving as the team's cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator. Ahead of the 2017 season, Coombs was promoted to assistant defensive coordinator. Over that time, Coombs helped to produce first-round NFL Draft picks Bradley Roby, Eli Apple, Marshon Lattimore and Gareon Conley. Denzel Ward is expected to add to that list in April's 2018 draft.

The former OSU assistant and Cincinnati high school head coach has never worked in the NFL before, but did work alongside Vrabel as a part of head coach Urban Meyer's staff from 2012-13.

My question is: Why exactly did he leave Ohio State in the first place?

Just sayin': The answer to that question might be a "clue" as to his desire or lack there of to return.

Kerry is ambitious. I personally think he felt the best route for him to get to be a DC play caller was to gain NFL experience. He now has a more detailed understanding of zone coverages and complex disguises. make no mistake of this fact: Kerry Coombs wants to reach the highest point he can get. he will want to run his own program someday. if going back to Ohio State as a play caller and that will help him get a head job in 3 years, that is what he will do.

THE HURRY-UP: BUCKEYES HAVE EYES ON KERRY COOMBS AS TOP TARGET TO REPLACE JEFF HAFLEY

110473_h_1.jpg


A source told Eleven Warriors that Day has already made multiple calls to Coombs in order to gauge his interest in a return and says Day feels very confident he will be able to land Coombs.

The source said Day wants to hire another coach with an NFL background to follow Hafley, whom Day worked with when the two were on the San Francisco 49ers' coaching staff.

Dear lord baby jesus, let this come to fruition. Give him the biggest bag of cash imaginable. Getting Coombs back would be an absolute home run hire and honestly, almost an upgrade with the Cincy ties for recruiting. I'd still run through a damn brick wall for Coombs. If not Coombs, then give me Ash back.
