When Ohio State wins, it also tends to lose—coaches, that is. The departure of offensive coordinator Tom Herman for Houston following the 2014 regular season is a case in point, and with continued success, many of Ohio State’s assistant coaches will have opportunities in the future to lead successful programs of their own.
"I hate losing great coaches, like I hate when a junior declares early [for the draft]," said head coach Urban Meyer during training camp last week. "But I also love it for them. That’s why we do it." In particular, Meyer noted that he loves that Herman is now leading his own program.
