Coombs had a big personality that masked his shortcomings. It was a tough lesson and coach learned it. *

I thought his NFL experience would put him a step above in terms of understanding defenses, guess it didn't happen * - tarbucks [13:04:52 05/09/22]
He reached the level of his incompetence. Great position coach, lousy DC. * - Mr (Zero) Insight [10:26:59 05/09/22]
- some are good at coaching and managing other coaches and some aren't * - RandyH [10:35:31 05/09/22]
  - From position coach to Co-ord is a big step up. OSU is NOT the place to learn that.* - BuckeyeDale [11:11:00 05/09/22]
    - Not as big as going from CO - OC to head coach at OSU. Hafley and Pagac made similar jumps as Coombs and had success.* - BayAreaBuck [14:24:40 05/09/22]
    - I would guess there was hope that Mattison would guide Coombs through as necessary - the way Fickell started as co-DC - Mr.C [11:15:52 05/09/22]
