Ohio State football all-time roster: Coaches, kickers and specialists

Here at Buckeyes Wire, been going through putting an all-time roster together of former Ohio State players and it’s been a tough nut to crack (pun intended). We started with the offense, then moved over to the defensive side of the ball.

With so many great players to choose from that have worn the scarlet and gray, there are some really, really good players that were in consideration, that could have made the team, but were left off. It’s how things go when you have to choose from the best of the best at a place like Ohio State.

Now that we’ve taken a stab at both sides of the ball with former players, we are now turning our attention to special teams and the coaches that have been on the sideline for the Buckeyes. And with it, we’re taking a little different tact and not picking coaches that did amazing things while on the banks of the Olentangy, but looking at the big picture and pulling guys that went on to do great things at OSU and then beyond.

Unless you know your Ohio State assistant coaching history from pretty far back, some of these may surprise you. If we could pick any of the coaches that used to coach at OSU, here’s what we would come up with as an all-time coaching roster along with the specialists that we’d have taking their direction.
