At the end of Ohio State’s postseason run, Chris Holtmann will lose his longest-tenured assistant coach.
Five-year Ohio State assistant Ryan Pedon was hired as Illinois State’s new head coach on Friday, and although he’ll still be on the sideline for the Buckeyes’ most important games of the season, there will soon be a void on the scarlet and gray staff at the start of the offseason.
Holtmann said Monday on 97.1 The Fan that he won’t start formulating a concrete plan for Pedon’s replacement until the year is over, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t already heard from a number of interested parties.
