SKULL SESSION: MICAH PARSONS HAS NO HATE FOR OHIO STATE, COREY DENNIS IS OHIO STATE'S SECRET WEAPON, AND EVAN TURNER CROSSES UP LEBRON JAMES

THE SECRET WEAPON. Between the best recruiter in the nation in Brian Hartline, defensive line Yoda in Larry Johnson, and apparent football genius and top-five recruiter Jeff Hafley, Ohio State's got some superstar coaches on payroll. But one of the secret weapons to the development of Ohio State's most important player is a guy kept far from the public eye.

Meet quality control coach Corey Dennis (who also happens to be Urban Meyer's son-in-law).

“He’s young so he understands the life of a quarterback and college athlete,” former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, Dennis’ father-in-law, told The Blade. “He has great football acumen, having been around the game his whole life. We gave him a lot of responsibility. There are limitations now because he’s not on the field, but when he was on the field and Ryan Day was the coordinator, he was knee-deep in quarterback development. The quarterbacks and receivers love him.”

...

The first-round draft pick credited Meyer, Day, and Kevin Wilson for his success, but a common name came out of Haskins’ mouth when he discussed his progression from promising prospect to All-American — Corey Dennis.

“He’s like my personal quarterbacks coach when coach Day is not around,” Haskins said last season. “I can ask him about looks, coverages and different pressures, and he has everything that coach Day teaches him. He helps me throughout practice, throughout meetings. He helps out a lot.”

By the end of this year, Dennis will likely have helped coach three Heisman Trophy finalists at quarterback before he's even 30 years old. Enjoy him, because something tells me he won't be staying in Columbus for very much longer.

Rumored to be going to CSU with Steve Addazio.

https://footballscoop.com/the-scoop-2/the-scoop-friday-december-13-2019/

Colorado State: Sources told FootballScoop last night that Steve Addazio is expected to bring Bowling Green tight ends coach and former Ohio State graduate assistant Louie Addazio (Steve’s son) and Ohio State senior quality control analyst Corey Dennis (the son-in-law of Urban Meyer) to the staff. We understand Louie will likely coach the offensive line, and Dennis will likely coach the quarterbacks.

I'm torn on him being the guy...I have no idea how good he is/isn't, but from a perception perspective it's a MOSTLY unproven commodity that is being put into a high profile position...who also happens to be the SIL of the coaching icon that pined for your promotion. It just reeks of cronyism, which hasn't been great for the program and more importantly the University in the recent past.

Again, I hope he turns out to be some QB whisperer that pied pipers the Lawrence's and Fields' of the world for the next 20 recruiting classes. But I would've loved to see some results elsewhere in the same position to warrant giving it to him.

I agree although it's less of a worry being the QB coach since I imagine Ryan Day also is involved with those guys.

True...though again there are only 10 of these positions. so yes he allowed some "learning on the job" regarding actual QB coaching with Day's track record, but he should be expected to pick up more of the slack elsewhere...say recruiting. That's where my concern lies. Ohio State coaching staff jobs are too important to have any weak links.
