Which coach (besides JT) would you most hate to lose?

[ScriptOhio]

The departure of Dantonio and subsequent promotion of Snyder really got me thinking about the coaches we have. What I kept coming back to is the coach I'd least like to lose (besides the big little guy) is probably one of our lowest profile people from a positional coaching perspective. Bill Conley. For years he's been (in my opinion) the force behind some pretty major recruiting classes. Both for Coop and for Tressel.

I'm just curious who you all would name, and why.

Which coach (besides JT Ryan Day) would you most hate to lose?

1.a. Larry Johnson = DLU
1.b. Kerry Combs = DBU
1.c. Brian Hartline = WRU

Like everyone else who has quoted this post, I would hate to have to choose, but put a gun to my head and I'd say Hartline. While Johnson is absolutely the cornerstone of building our great DLs, I'm not sure how many more years he'll be coaching. Hartline is currently the greatest recruiter in all of college football, is young, is an alum and former player, and bleeds Scarlet and Gray. As for Coombs, we've had solid defensive backfields without Coombs, although obviously they are better with him here.
