But the dysfunction goes well beyond just the linebacker level.

Ohio State fans will tell you that Urban Meyer hired the best man from his wedding to coach linebackers and that he's a galactic doofus, and… well, that's a pretty good theory too. So they fired him, and everyone except USC fans lived happily ever after. Having hired Ed Warinner as a vastly overqualified analyst, Michigan found itself in a near-identical situation with Tim Drevno. That promotion was supposed to come when Greg Schiano got a head job elsewhere, as he was no doubt 'encouraged' to do.Ī dumb guy at Tennessee took the bait that was aimed at MAC schools, causing a revolt, and by the time the dust had cleared the dumb guy was fired, Schiano was still hanging around in Columbus, and Grinch was pissed. That was a weird demotion for Grinch to take if it was not in fact a prelude to a promotion.

Over the offseason they brought in Washington State defensive coordinator Alex Grinch as their tenth coach. I have a theory about OSU's defense: they failed to Drevno their defensive coordinator.
