Ryan Day's 2025 Ohio State coaching staff is complete with arguably its most important hire made on Wednesday.
Former New England Patriots defensive coordinator and Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia will be the Buckeyes' DC this season. The pick, in fairness, is a polarizing one.
New England consistently had some of the best defenses in the NFL with Patricia as defensive coordinator from 2012 through 2017, winning Super Bowls two of those years. But how much of that is attributed to Patricia and how much is attributed to one of the greatest head coaches and defensive minds in football history, Bill Belichick, is disputed.
