All first round picks in the last 5 years under him. Also Malik Hooker last year in the first round. Vonn Bell 2nd round 2 years ago. Pretty much everyone whos played DB for them the past 4-5 years not named Tyvis Powell has been really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says on Ohio States website that he was CB coach and Schiano coaches safeties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanrick Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 11 minutes ago, -Hope- said: seems like a good fit. sort of interesting to me that we would bring in a DB coach before having a set D-coordinator? i have no idea if that's unusual or not Seems very unusual to me. Not a big college fan so I hadn't heard of him, but Twitter is full of OSU fans in mourning so I guess that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Guy is about as good as it gets in college at coaching CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoToneBlue Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ohio State's secondary was awful to start the year (not too surprising with as much talent that has left for the draft in recent years), but showed definite improvement throughout the season. Seems like a good hire to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans fan 617 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I wish we had gotten Bettcher because he is a good DC but Vrabel couldn’t have had him as his number 1 guy because no one was sure he was going to be let go. I just find it weird he hasn’t found a guy yet though unless his pitch was he would call plays if he doesn’t find anyone. On the OC search I have been saying he is probably waiting on DeFilipo and the way it’s goinf it’s looking more and more like what he is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

615finest Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just read that Coombs was also the assistant DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be possible since he was the assistant DC there, but I’m sure if we hired him for DC it would have been specified. Everybody would probably burst in flames if we hired him for DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTitan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'd imagine he would mainly deal with DB's. But I can't imagine he left just for the same position in NFL, without some kind of sweetener. Or Maybe he felt he has done a lot in the college level and wanted to flex his muscles more. Because everywhere he has gone he has produced NFL level DBs, dating back to his time at Cincinnati. I don't want us getting too cute with our hires. If a guy is a master DB Coach, let's have him coach the DB's and not try to make him something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
