For the first time since being hired to Ohio State's coaching staff earlier this year, newly appointed co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Alex Grinch and cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator Taver Johnson met with the media for their introductory press conferences at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Wednesday afternoon.
Grinch met with the media first. Here's what you need to know from his press conference:
- When you receive a call from an elite program like Ohio State, you have to take it and consider the opportunity, Grinch said.
- Grinch said there are "probably more similarities than differences" between the defensive schemes he has used at Washington State and other previous stops and the scheme that is used at Ohio State.
