As Ryan Day revamps Ohio State's coaching staff entering his first season as head coach, Eleven Warriors is checking in with media members who covered the Buckeyes' new assistant coaches to get their insight on what those coaches could bring to Columbus.
Among all of Ohio State's new assistant coaches, perhaps none of them will play an important role for the Buckeyes in 2019 then Jeff Hafley, who is not only taking on the role of co-defensive coordinator on Ohio State's new coaching staff, but will also be in charge of leading the Buckeyes' secondary.
To get a better idea of why Day thought Hafley – who he worked alongside during his lone season as the 49ers' quarterbacks coach in 2016 – was the right man for the job, and what Hafley might bring to Columbus, we caught up with Cam Inman, the 49ers beat writer for the Bay Area News Group.
