As Ohio State’s defense looks to bounce back from its disappointing 2020 performance and get back to playing at a championship level in 2021, there will be a new assistant coach helping to lead that effort.
A spot on Ohio State’s defensive coaching staff officially opens up at the end of the month when Greg Mattison – the Buckeyes’ co-defensive coordinator for the past two seasons – will retire from coaching.
Mattison’s replacement has not yet been selected, and as of Friday morning, it was unclear who Ohio State is targeting to take his place.
