Jeff Hafley's Impact on Ohio State's Defensive Metrics Compared to Past Seasons Impossible to Ignore

After just one season in Columbus, co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach Jeff Hafley is leaving Ohio State.

The engaging young coaching talent is headed to Boston College to command his own program, though he is expected to remain with the Buckeyes for as long as they're standing in the College Football Playoff.

Losing Hafley so quickly is certainly a tough pill to swallow but for one, it was inevitable his stay would be short and two, having assistant coaches that aren't in demand isn't a great recipe for success either.

While all Ohio State fans process losing such an elite coach so quickly, do remember Hafley wasn't alone in turning around a group of players that ranked just No.
