Eight Potential Candidates to Replace Kerry Coombs on Ohio State's Coaching Staff

Who’s next?

Now that assistant defensive coordinator, cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs is reportedly headed to the Tennessee Titans, that’s the question for Ohio State: Who will replace Coombs on the coaching staff?

An ace recruiter with a unique level of energy who repeatedly developed first-round draft picks at his position, Coombs will not be easy to replace.

The good news for the Buckeyes, though, is that they should have plenty of options for filling the newest vacancy on their staff.

First of all, the Buckeyes don’t necessarily have to fill the vacancy by hiring another cornerbacks coach.
