Well with the possibility of tribe playoff games on Saturday nights in October this may not be the worst thing.So many games being on Fox is going to be weird.
One night game in The Shoe this year? Lame.
The Game remaining at noon? Lame.
Koombs is a great recruiter obviously, and his record as a HS coach is impeccable. But, IMO, the secondary was really bad when he first took over. Fickel got a lot of grief in 2013, I think he was let down by a bad secondary. Ash took over the DBs and everything normalized. I hesitate making Coombs anything more than special teams coordinator and ace recruiter.KERRY COOMBS PROMOTED TO ASSISTANT COORDINATOR OF OHIO STATE'S DEFENSE
Kerry Coombs received a raise of $75,000 ahead of the 2017 football season, his fifth with Ohio State. The salary bump will carry a new title with it.
The Buckeyes promoted Coombs to assistant coordinator of their defense
Coombs was also named 2017 national recruiter of the year by Rivals after laying the groundwork to sign five highly-ranked cornerbacks, including the top two in the country in Jeffrey Okudah and Shaun Wade and the best junior college prospect at the position, Kendall Sheffield.

If this is just a symbolic way to give him a raise for his recruiting exploits, then it's well earned. But if we assume Schiano will be a head coach ASAP, does this make Coombs the next DC? That would worry me.
No worries, that is not the end goal here.
