Love it! And nice to see a woman get the nod in the B1G. Flynn-Oldenburg strikes me as someone up to the task. She was a such a good player at setter and oh. Hope all that transitions to the hc job. She also pulled OH duty, so there's very little she cannot coach from personal experience. |

Great hire...worth the wait! Maybe the coaching search went like this: Hey, Dan Fisher, want to come to Ohio State? Hmm, let me think about it (runs to Heather Lyke). No, but my local club coach of Pittsburgh Elite, an OSU graduate, would be a great hire. What do you think? AAD: Oh, duh, good idea Dan. |

Zero years as a head coach or an assistant at any level hired to be the head coach at a power five school is not considered a desperation hire?

She served as an Assistant Coach at Illinois for nine seasons and helped lead Illinois to the national championship match in 2011. Good hire. Congrats, Jen.

The Ohio State players are going to love playing for Jen. She is going to start her head coaching career with a lot of talent to work with. My expectation is for Ohio State to improve where it finished in the B1G last season, and to make the NCAA tourney next season. |

I think it’s a great hire. Reality is, no one knows how the search actually went down. It’s unfair to call it a desperation hire. I still don’t believe, and have been offered no concrete information, that Dan Fischer was ever offered the position. Accolades and experience aside for a hot minute, maybe Jen actually interviewed better than the other three candidates brought to campus. Maybe she presented a program structure that resonated more with the committee.
Jen will need to surround herself with good, knowledgeable people for a staff - no doubt about it. But Jen has the experience, player-relationships and knows recruiting to make this, and Ohio State WVB, a success.

I have always been curious as to why Jim Stone left his head coaching job at OSU. Stone had been the head coach at Ohio State for 26 years from 1982-2007. His teams included 15 NCAA tournaments. 9 of those ended in Sweet 16 appearances. 2 of Stone's teams were in the Final Four. Jen played for Coach Stone, and has maintained a very close relationship with him ever since. I think it would really be brilliant if Head Coach Jen Flynn-Oldenburg would offer Stone an assistant coaching position at OSU. I wonder if OSU has ever honored former Coach Stone for his years and accomplishments at Ohio State.
I seem to remember after Stone left OSU that he volunteered with the Michigan State volleyball program for a season or two. I am not positive about this fact. However, Stone's coaching talent and volleyball knowledge is still recognized by the national volleyball program of the United States.

I do know that Jim did not leave under much pomp and circumstance. A new AD that oversaw Volleyball often clashed with the old-school tactics of Jim. A couple years of no tournament appearances and the program sliding further down the standings mixed with a not so great relationship with administration led to Jim’s sudden departure. I wouldn’t be surprised one bit that Jim Stone is recognized in the Covelli Center real soon. |

Whatever they were, he seems to have adjusted quite well to modern day tactics. |
