Matt Guerrieri said he's reuniting with “family” by joining Jim Knowles' staff and that his experience coaching in the scheme will make his Ohio State transition seamless.

Going from co-defensive coordinator at Indiana to safeties coach at Ohio State might seem like, at best, a lateral move to some. To Matt Guerrieri, it was a no-brainer.

The duo met at a camp during the summer of 2012, which led to Guerrieri’s first FBS coaching job as a graduate assistant under Knowles and head coach David Cutcliffe at Duke. He spent three seasons in that position before earning a promotion to safeties coach under Knowles from 2015 through 2017. Yes, Duke had one of the worst defenses in college football in Guerrieri’s final year there in 2021, ranking last in the country by allowing 518.4 yards per game and fourth-to-last by giving up 39.8 points per contest. But he’s not running the scheme for Ohio State, he’s teaching and implementing it. From that perspective, it’s good to know what does and doesn’t work.

“I’ve been one of his DB guys all along and I think my job was to help get guys up to speed with what the defense was and what the system was,” Guerrieri said. “Then to be able to tailor that to Ohio State’s version of that.” “You hit the ground running. Wednesday night I got here, had a team meeting, Thursday morning hit the road recruiting. So it’s been a fast pace, but that’s how it should be.”to be its full-time linebackers coach, Ohio State won’t be employing a full-time special teams coordinator this year barring any unforeseen staff changes. Guerrieri, who has had a hand in other schools’ special teams previously, could foot some of that responsibility.

Still, it’s Guerrieri’s acumen as a recruiter that Day and Knowles are placing a great deal of faith in while they make a position coach pivot despite having the No. 1 passing defense in college football last season.
