Vrabel to be named defensive assistant at Ohio State

By Anthony Caruso III

Mike Vrabel is leaving behind the NFL for a career in coaching.

Vrabel is expected to accept the position of defensive assistant with Ohio State. The Buckeye rumors have been surrounding Vrabel for the past several years.

Vrabel was roommates at Ohio State in the mid-90's with new Ohio State head coach Luke Fickell. Fickell is the Ohio State coach on an interim basis after replacing Jim Tressell when he left at the end of May.

The official announcement has not been made, but is expected to be made as soon as Monday. Vrabel has been a focal point in the NFLPA's labor discussions this off-season with the NFL owners.
