Ohio State Football: Why DC Greg Schiano should be back

It has yet to be determined if Greg Schiano will be retained as the Ohio State defensive coordinator. The defense has taken a step back in nearly every major statistical category this season and of course coach Schiano is ultimately responsible for that. But did he forget how to coach in just one year?

The Buckeyes had a top 10 defense in each of the last two seasons with Schiano as the DC. In 2016 Ohio state was ranked No. 3 in total defense allowing 300.2 yards per game and held opponents to 15.1 points per game. In 2017 the totals were 300.
