Former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia has reportedly found a new job. And Michigan football fans are going to see more of him now. On their hated rival's sideline, that is.

In one of the more surprising hires of the college football coaching carousel, Ryan Day and Ohio State Football is finalizing a deal to bring former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia to Columbus as the Buckeyes next defensive coordinator. ESPN's Pete Thamel was the first to report the news on Wednesday.

According to multiple reports, the longtime Patriots assistant is headed to the college ranks to become Ohio State’s next defensive coordinator. Bill Belichick’s longtime lieutenant, Patricia won three Super Bowls with the Patriots and was the team’s defensive coordinator from 2012-2017.
