DeShaun Foster has yet to coach a game for the Bruins. In fact, he’s never been a head coach on any level. The former NFL running back has been a running back’s coach essentially for the duration of his coaching career. When Chip Kelly decided to become Ohio State’s Offensive Coordinator, Foster surprisingly got the gig to the surprise of many. Thus far, Foster has done a great job in trying to revive the excitement around the program. This has included recruiting at a much harder clip compared to Kelly — as well as hiring a respectable staff led by new OC Eric Bieniemy. Still, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether he’ll be a solid head coach or not. With that said, being a very proud alum, the facets of energy, effort, and dedication do not figure to be an issue with Foster at the helm.
