FILM STUDY: HOW WILL GREG SCHIANO AFFECT OHIO STATE'S DEFENSIVE SCHEME IN 2016?
With over twenty years of experience at the college and NFL levels, including 13 as a head coach, you might be expecting new Ohio State co-coordinator Greg Schiano to vastly expand the Buckeye defense's playbook once Spring practice begins. With only three starters returning to the unit in 2016, you might also think now is as good a time as any to switch things up on that side of the ball.
But when the Silver Bullets hit the turf inside Ohio Stadium on September 3rd, you might be surprised at what you'll see. After spending his career working alongside some of the masters of the 4-3 defense, Schiano's schematic philosophy closely resembles that of his new colleagues.
Defensive line coach Larry Johnson's unit has been perhaps the strongest unit on that side of the ball since he arrived in 2014, thanks to many of the lessons he learned during 18 seasons teaching the intricacies of a four-man rush at Penn State. When Johnson arrived in Happy Valley in 1996, the Nittany Lion defense was trying to fill the role of their recently departed secondary coach, who was none other than Greg Schiano.
Schiano's co-defensive coordinator, Luke Fickell has been immersed in the Buckeyes' version of the 4-3 scheme for much of the past two decades as both a player and coach. In that time, Ohio State's philosophy of pass coverage changed with the departures of coordinators like Fred Pagac, Jim Heacock, and Everett Withers, but their method of stopping the run with a downhill, 1-gapping philosophy along the defensive line is still roughly the same it's been since Fickell lined up at defensive tackle in the late 1990s.
“I had a chance to meet with Luke before I took the opportunity,” Schiano said in his introductory press conference last month. “He and I talked through a lot of different scenarios and I’m very comfortable with what I’m here to do and it’s going to be a great situation.”
But despite all of the similarities between he and the current Buckeye coaches, the question that remains is how he compares to the man he's replacing, Chris Ash. During his short time in Columbus, Ash transformed the Ohio State secondary from a unit prone to undisciplined mistakes and constant communication breakdowns into a championship group that slowed down some of the nation's best receivers.
Ash is of course known as one of the premier teachers of the 'Quarters' scheme that he successfully implemented at Wisconsin to Arkansas before coming to OSU, making him such an attractive hire for Urban Meyer. Thanks in part to the way Michigan State used the philosophy to slow down the Buckeye offense in 2012 and 2013, it has emerged as one of the most common methods of countering 'spread' attacks.

Rough day for Schiano. Unsealed court documents allege that Schiano among other members of PSU knew of Sandusky's molestation habits.
According to Mike McQuery, Schiano once informed Tom Bradley of seeing Sandusky in a shower with a boy.

Tough spot for tOSU IMO. If Schiano had knowledge and did nothing, while Sandusky continued to hang around the program, does OSU feel an obligation to remove him from staff?

If he did nothing then yes, you fire him with extreme prejudice.
I don't think it will be that clear cut though.

You know what? Chicken butt.
In that environment it seems pretty clear just about everyone knew. And did nothing. That will always turn my stomach. And, if true, I have zero tolerance for anyone involved with knowledge. It's that clear cut to me.

Assuming this all is true and accurate and they decide to part ways with Schiano does Fickle step in as full time DC and try to hire someone for secondary quickly? Also who is out there that could step in place if the job opens?
