KERRY COOMBS RETURNING TO OHIO STATE AS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR AND SECONDARY COACH
Kerry Coombs is back.
After two seasons with the NFL's Tennessee Titans, Coombs is returning to Ohio State as the Buckeyes' new secondary coach and defensive coordinator, the program announced on Monday.
Coombs, who was previously Ohio State's cornerbacks coach from 2012-17, replaces Jeff Hafley, who left the Buckeyes after one season to become the head coach at Boston College.
“Kerry Coombs is the coach I was really hoping we could hire and bring back to Ohio State,” Ryan Day said in a release. “He is an excellent coach and he has had two outstanding seasons in the NFL on Mike Vrabel’s staff with the Tennessee Titans.
“I’ve spent a season on staff with Kerry and I really like his coaching and knowledge of the game, but I also like that he knows Ohio State and he knows how to recruit to Ohio State. He’s recruited some of the players currently on the team and he coached a handful of Buckeye defensive backs who went on to become first-round NFL draft picks.”
Greg Mattison, who split coordinating duties with Hafley last season, will continue in his role as a defensive coordinator alongside Coombs.

KERRY COOMBS' RETURN ALLOWS HIM TO LEAD DEFENSE WITH SEVERAL OHIO STATE UPPERCLASSMEN WHOM HE RECRUITED, PREVIOUSLY COACHED
It took Sevyn Banks and Tyreke Johnson less than a month at Ohio State to experience one of the unfortunate aspects of the business of football.
Both Floridian cornerbacks had committed to play for the Buckeyes, but they had also committed to play for Kerry Coombs – the always-energetic, always emotive, seemingly always successful position coach had recruited both and landed commitments from each of them. Banks and Johnson signed National Letters of Intent on Dec. 20, 2017, then enrolled early, each prepared to get a head start on their college football careers.
Seemingly out of nowhere, sixteen days after the early enrollees began classes on Jan. 8, 2018, Coombs became the Tennessee Titans’ secondary coach.
A few weeks later, in their first interviews with the local media, both Johnson and Banks expressed support for Coombs, even though he left before he could even coach either of them.
“Who am I to get mad at him?" Johnson said. “I came here because he’s an elite cornerback coach, and he’s an elite man in life, so it’s to me, he did something that I expect any man to do in life. He made a decision that was better for him and his family.”
Banks said: “I love him, he loves me, and shoot, he had to do what’s best for his family.”
At the time, they had no reason to believe they’d ever cross paths with Coombs again – unless the Titans drafted either of them, of course. Even though he posted an open letter in the days after moving on, in which he called leaving the players the “hardest part of this separation,” Coombs was clearly moving on from the college ranks and beginning the next step of his career in the NFL.
Yet what once seemed impossible actually happened.
Urban Meyer hired Taver Johnson as cornerbacks coach in 2018. Meyer retired in December of 2018, which led to the promotion of Ryan Day, who hired Jeff Hafley as co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach. After just one year, which both Day and Hafley have said was unexpectedly quick, Hafley left to go coach Boston College.

THE 10 MOST KERRY COOMBS MOMENTS OF HIS OHIO STATE CAREER
Two years ago, Ohio State lost Kerry Coombs – the program's sentient can of Red Bull – to the NFL. It hurt our hearts so deeply that we put together a top-10 list of our favorite Coombs moments to give him the send-off he deserved.
Today, however, we're happy to report that Coombs is coming back to Columbus as Ohio State's new secondary coach and defensive coordinator. But the send-off salute wasn't for naught – it now simply serves as a celebration of what's to come.
So here are your top-10 moments from Coombs' previous Ohio State stint, as we welcome him back home.
#10 – “WE'RE STRETCHING—AND YOU'RE A KICKER!”
Football practice safety standards have come a long way since the days of coaches treating water as a radioactive substance. That only matters to real football players, of which Coombs does not include kickers.
Thanks to the camera angle, we can't be sure which kicker drew Coombs' ire, we can only know "Sunshine" died in spring practice 2013.

Re: Day spent the past two seasons as the defensive backs coach for the Tennessee Titans, and he’ll now return to a senior role he never would’ve gotten had he not left in the first place.
Interesting point....
