Greg Schiano’s tenure as Ohio State’s defensive coordinator could have come to an end this week.
Instead, Schiano decided to stay at Ohio State, and helped the Buckeyes land their final two commitments for the recruiting class of 2018 in the process.
Schiano appeared to be headed for the NFL on Monday, when a report by Football Scoop’s Zach Barnett indicated that Schiano was "expected to become the defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots." By Wednesday, however, Schiano confirmed to Ohio State's coaches, players and members of the local media that he would be staying in Columbus for the 2018 season.
