Ohio State, Maryland, Jackson State Lose Coaches to NFL

Several college football programs are experiencing significant coaching changes as coaches transition to NFL roles. Oregon State's offensive line coach, Kyle DeVan, will join the Chicago Bears, leaving the Beavers searching for new assistant coaches [Article 1]. Meanwhile, Maryland's defensive coordinator Brian Williams is moving to Jacksonville State, suggesting his contract was not renewed by Maryland [Article 2]. At Jackson State, linebackers coach Chris Orr is joining the Kansas City Chiefs after a successful season, marking a notable departure from the college ranks [Article 3]. Additionally, Ohio State's Sean Binckes will leave his role to join the Las Vegas Raiders, continuing a trend of Ohio State staff moving to the NFL, including Chip Kelly and Justin Frye [Article 4, Article 5]. These transitions highlight the ongoing reshuffling within college football coaching staffs as they align with professional opportunities.
