James Laurinaitis said he “already felt like the linebacker coach last year” and that recruiting comes naturally to him because of his own experiences as a former Ohio State player.
When James Laurinaitis returned to Ohio State a year ago as a graduate assistant, he said his goal was toand to be that at his alma mater. One year later, he’s already taken the first step toward fulfilling that prophecy.
“I was hopeful,” Laurinaitis said Tuesday. “There's a lot of moving puzzle pieces that need to happen. But as things kind of started to go towards the end of the year and moves started to get made, I was hopeful.
The biggest thing that changes for Laurinaitis now that he’s one of Ohio State’s 10 full-time assistants is that he will now be tasked with traveling during live recruiting periods. But Laurinaitis already gained some experience doing that last month after Parker Fleming’s firing, which helped sell Day on his decision to give Laurinaitis the final spot on this year’s coaching staff.
“I was so comfortable in the respect that I knew the players that I was going to talk to, I had relationships with them, I knew the material that I had to present. And so I was just ready,” Laurinaitis said. “I wasn't anxious, there was no nervousness about it. Because a lot of it was just talking ball with them. And that comes second nature to me.”
“I love this place. And I want to raise my girls around this place, because of how special it is and how it changed my life. And I know how it can change all these other young men's lives.”“I try to be an ambassador of Ohio State. I love this school. It's changed my life. It's done wonders for me and my family.”After making more than $35 million in his NFL career, Laurinaitis certainly didn’t need to get into coaching.
