Former Ohio State QB coach Corey Dennis hired as analyst for Mississippi football
Corey Dennis' meandering offseason continues, and despite initial indications that he would land at Utah, that turns out not to be the case.
The former Ohio State quarterbacks coach has been named an analyst at Mississippi. He had previously signed on for a similar role with the Utes.
Dennis' name was listed in the Ole Miss football staff directory Friday. The program later confirmed the hire to The Dispatch.
Ohio State decided against retaining Dennis after four seasons as the Buckeyes' quarterbacks coach after coach Ryan Day hired Bill O'Brien to be the team's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In the release announcing O'Brien's hire, Day said Dennis was expected to remain with the program in some capacity.
Three weeks after that, O'Brien left to become the head coach at Boston College. O'Brien was replaced by former Oregon and UCLA head coach Chip Kelly.
The 31-year-old son-in-law of former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, Dennis, who joined the program as an intern in 2015, replaced Mike Yurcich as OSU's quarterbacks coach in 2020 and worked with signal callers Justin Fields, C.J. Stroud and Kyle McCord.
Dennis was also instrumental in the recruitment of quarterbacks Air Noland, 2024 five-star prospect, and 2025 four-star prospect Tavien St. Clair.
