The Ohio State football team closed out its 2022 season with a loss to Georgia in the Peach Bowl. Here is how we graded the Buckeye coaching staff this past season.

The Ohio State football team had a very solid 2022 campaign. Despite the loss to Michigan, the Buckeyes proved that they were one of the best two teams in the country in the Peach Bowl. If Marvin Harrison Jr. did not get hurt, the Buckeyes would probably be national champions. The same could be said if Noah Ruggles would have made his 50-yard field goal.

But the Ohio State football program doesn’t live in should have or could have moments. They play for championships and anything less than that is a failure. Despite the great game that they played against Georgia, the facts remain that the Buckeyes did not win a Big Ten Championship or beat Michigan for two seasons in a row.

So, for all that went right, a lot also went wrong for this Ohio State coaching staff. Let’s break down the staff and grade them for the 2022 season.
