The running back coaching job at Ohio State is, unexpectedly, open.
With nine-year Ohio State assistant Tony Alford bolting for Michigan in a sudden turn, the Buckeyes will try to quickly fill the hole left in their offensive staff to lead what should be the nation's best running back tandem in TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.
Perhaps even more important will be the new hire's acumen on the recruiting trail, where Ohio State is in the thick of battles for players like Marquise Davis and Jordon Davison in the class of 2025.
