Sources: Ohio University is promoting defensive coordinator John Hauser to be the program's new head coach. He was Ohio's interim coach in the 17-10 Frisco Bowl win over UNLV. He's been at Ohio since 2022.
Group of 5 programs to win 40+ games the last 4 years (since 2022):
โข JMU
โข Ohio
โข Tulane
The 40 wins in that span is the BEST four-year stretch in Ohio football history by four (4) games.
Historic run for that senior class in Athens.
Late night thoughts - this @OhioFootball program doesnโt get enough national credit.
40 wins since 2022 (T-2nd in G5 - only Tulane (43) and James Madison (40) with them)
13 straight home wins (only Indiana has more - 15)
7 straight bowl wins (2nd)
Respect the Bobcats!
OHIO guy! If itโs really about the student-athletes โฆ@CoachJohnHauserโฉ and his wife are the right people to lead this group of young men tonight and in the coming years โฆ@OhioFootballโฉ Go Bobcats!
After a game like that where John Hauserโs defense dominates and an entire team shows up for him during a wild three weeks, there is no question who should become the next head coach of this program.
A statement was made tonight.
