Coordinator Let Go After Errors
The move comes after the unit allowed a fake punt conversion and multiple penalties that shifted momentum in key moments. Discher had joined the program this season after serving in a similar role at Illinois, where he also worked with tight ends. His prior experience includes special teams coaching at Tulane and Toledo.
Game Incidents and Team Response
In the most recent contest, Ohio State held a 14-3 advantage when the opponent converted a fourth-and-9 situation from the 31-yard line with a 30-yard play. That sparked 38 unanswered points in a 41-28 outcome. The Buckeyes now rank 102nd nationally in special teams efficiency. The head coach indicated a full review of the staff and players would follow, stressing the need for accountability across the board after the penalties and breakdowns continued.
