Cornering The High-Energy Coombs

    I think it is great and love everything that Coach Coombs brings to tOSU. He seems to be having a positive influence on his players and the team overall. On a side note, it is interesting that so much love is displayed here for him when he is exactly the same type coach as Brian Kelly at Notre Dame. The descriptions of Kelly have been much less flattering here. Not exactly the "no spin zone" of college football coaches. Not that it should be, but just an observation.

    the camera during the game every Saturday is NOT GOING TO BE ON COOMBS ...

    the camera during every game on Saturday IS ON KELLEY ...

    BIG DIFFERENCE !!

    Urban Meyer has never gotten the credit of hiring great assistant coaches ...

    great addition to Buckeye Nation !

    Hmm, interesting take. I've always thought he got plenty of credit for the excellent assistants he hired over the years, especially at Florida. Obviously the first two that come to mind are Dan Mullen (Miss St) and Charlie Strong (Louisville).

    this was a great hire!! it further cements osu football with the ohio h.s. coaches association. coombs is well repected among them and he will do great in recruiting the cinnci area plus he's a very good coach!! great hire!!!

    With all due respect it isn't the same. I have been on the sidelines for both coaches at the same time. There is a different respect level that they have. The relationships Coombs has with these kids is different. There is a reason why Coombs will get a kid from a school and then the next year get 3 from that school. I think passion and anger are different. And this is also coming from a Brian Kelly fan.

    Well said. And honestly, there might not be a better "source" than Mr. Shaun Simpson on this matter.

    I think Coombs is a nice addition to this great staff. I agree with his assessment of Roby and I think those who have been hard on Howard in the past and are skeptical of him in the upcoming season are going to be pleasantly surprised. Notre Dame has always done well in the Cincy area but I think now the Bucks are going to get more of those studs that previously went to the Irish.

    I think that Coombs was also a strategic add to this staff. He brings a lot to the table and has been a great coach wherever he has been. We are fortunate to have him at Ohio State. He will be a college head coach soon.
