James Laurinaitis and Matt Guerrieri are familiar with the Ohio State football program. This offseason, however, both have embraced new roles in the program – the former as the Buckeyes' new linebackers coach, and the latter as the Buckeyes' new safeties coach.
On Tuesday, Laurinaitis and Guerrieri held press conferences on the indoor practice field inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The defensive assistants discussed several topics with reporters. Still, both shared a similar mindset of gratitude for Ryan Day and Jim Knowles for allowing them the opportunity to join the Buckeyes' full-time staff.
