Simply: Blown away from this interview right here. In the words of Emenim: “I’ve created a Monster”!! That’s what Coach Laurinitus brings to the Ohio State Football Program. I think that these young recruits will identify with James and don’t say I never told you so. This is just the beginning of a Dynasty!! Peace!! #FYT!! #GoBucks!! 🫡
Couldn’t have hired a better man for this job! I think he’ll get the best out of the guys we got. I feel like we could have the best linebackers in the country.
James has a lot of the same advantages that Brian Hartline has. He played here, he loves his alma mater, and he knows what going to The Ohio State University means. They both also had successful careers in the NFL so that's also something they can present in recruiting. I can see him having a similar coaching path that Brian has had. It's going to be an awesome fit. Want to come play for a Butkus award winner, one of the top 5 guys to ever do it at this school, and a guy who can prepare you for the next level? You know where to go.
Buckeyes is CFB. No program is parallel. You have guys coaching former players on staff who could sit back and enjoy their earnings on a golf course instead give back to a program grooming the next generation. Love this team love our program. #GoBucks
This has been a weak point for the Bucks since 2015. James is one of a couple guys who we could fill this role with that brings exactly what you are expected to do and be as an OSU linebacker. AJ, Spiels, and Katz would be others that can bring the heat in that room with James
James. Your LBers are falling short. Need to use some new guys, Arvel Reese! Payton Pierce?? Powers? I don’t know who-but you do! Find out now who’s the new LB that really lifts the whole. You are the MAN to do it!
James is a legend. The Ohio State University is lucky to have him and James is lucky to have this opportunity. Perfect fit for both sides.
James is a straight shooter and so well spoken. He's genuine.
Dude is going to DEMOLISH recruiting. We will be getting 5 star LBs again very soon.
He got practice with his speech as a media analyst. Great practice for that.
What a guy! He and Ryan Shazier. Two of my favorite all time Buckeyes on defense 🅾️🙌🏾
I grew up in Dayton Ohio playing linebacker and wanting to be #33 crazy I get to see him coach my buckeyes now couldn’t be happier
I wore 33 as a linebacker right down the road from you. Go Bucks!
Lets do the best,beat that people...
On behalf of all Buckeye Nation I would like to say. We Love You too James !!!
Coach is a true gentleman and legend at Ohio State. Outstanding role model. Wish him only the best.
Outstanding player and man. I am sure he will be a great coach.
What a solid dude. He’s gonna kill it on the recruiting trail. He has a very bright future and I hope we can keep him in Columbus.

I hope this guy is at Ohio state for the next 30 years. Awesome to listen to him talk.
Can you imagine the LBer room starts looking like the WR room that Brian has now? If so, these 2 dudes will be leading the OSU program in the future
So glad he is back with the program!
James is an incredible asset, not to mention a Buckeye for life! Buckeye nation is so blessed to have this man to teach young men!

You can feel the energy he’s bringing and he will definitely get 110 percent out of Thee players and if one doesn’t work hard he won’t see the field

One of my favorite buckeyes of all time ! Congrats James
So psyched to have James coach the LB's! What a bright coaching future he has. I just hope we can keep him a Buckeye!
Good interview
Great hire. Hoping James' coaching techniques can elevate the linebacker play a few levels.
Best coach interview ever
trust me. he comes from a football family of linebackers. and he just knows and got that knac for da balllll
James sounds like a modern version of Jim Tressell.
One of my favorite Buckeyes ever!
gabe powers...is beaaast. make sure he's n there
Great hire for the buckeyes
Let’s go chase that natty, James. Go buckeyes
regardless of position, linebacker or safety, I think its a given that SONNY has to be on the field all the time
We love you too buddy!
From what I understand the best position coaches are the ones who played the game at a high level.

If it comes down to technique, I think we will be good at LB. Maybe even good enough to have 3 of them. Just a thought...
He’s no parker Fleming, but he will do
😂
James. Your LBers are falling short. Need to use some new guys, Arvel Reese! Payton Pierce?? Powers? I don’t know who-but you do! Find out now who’s the new LB that really lifts the whole. You are the MAN to do it!
dude. james.....gabe is like u. trust n believe
Need to now bring Mike Doss in as grad assistant
Marcus did James a solid, James did Marcus dirty. Never burn bridges.
Class act... But he still will knock your head off.
I hope he punches Sharone moore after the game this yr. Its not fair they got to win a national championship
James looks like he’s age a lot. Get some rest brother
