Getting Demoted Was Hard to Accept, But Kerry Coombs Plans On “Fighting and Battling and Scratching and Clawing for the Remainder of the Season”

Kerry Coombs has always been known for his boundless energy throughout his two tenures at Ohio State, but that has never been more evident in a press conference setting than it was during his first media availability in a full month on Tuesday.

Coombs met with reporters on Tuesday for the first time since Ryan Day opted to reassign defensive play-calling responsibilities to Matt Barnes, and he acknowledged that the last month has not been easy for him, as he’s had to accept no longer being in charge of the defense he was hired to coordinate less than two years ago.
