per Cleveland.com:
Ed Warinner was not fired by Ohio State. That's what the Buckeyes will tell you. But P.J. Fleck knew he was available, and thought he had a shot at landing Urban Meyer's former offensive coordinator.
Think about that for a second: The head coach at Minnesota thought he had a shot at an offensive coordinator who two years prior had helped the Buckeyes to a national championship. The coaching world is weird sometimes.
So Warinner is with the Gophers, coaching the offensive line for the Big Ten's newest media darling, and the one of the most enthusiastic humans you'll find anywhere in Fleck. Warinner's helping row the boat.
"Any time you get a chance to hire a guy like Ed Warinner you jump all over it," Fleck told cleveland.com last month. "Not just because he's a phenomenal offensive line coach, he's an incredible person, a wonderful coordinator. He's been at the top, and developed some of the best talent in the country. He can recruit the state of Ohio for you.
"There are a lot of pieces to the puzzle that fit, it's about teaching, relationships, recruiting, where do they recruit -- and does that fit your plan? Ed fit my plan perfectly, so I'm glad he's here."
