All but one of Ohio State's defensive assistant coaches have yet to coach a game in scarlet and gray.
First-year head coach Ryan Day made defensive line coach Larry Johnson the only holdover. He hired co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison, co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach Jeff Hafley, linebackers coach Al Washington and assistant secondary coach and special teams coordinator Matt Barnes to round out the rest of his defensive staff.
As a result of the turnover, significant changes are coming to Ohio State's defensive scheme. And though the Buckeyes have yet to play a regular-season game, we have gotten glimpses of what the defense could look like.
