Keenan Bailey turned down other opportunities to stay at Ohio State because he valued “people over places,” and he’s now being rewarded for his patience as OSU’s tight ends coach.
Keenan Bailey didn’t have to wait as long as he did to become a full-time college football position coach.
“The thing that my wife and I always talk about is people over places,” Bailey said during an interview withat Ohio State’s media day before the Peach Bowl. “So every time there's been an opportunity to come across a desk, it's easy to say, ‘Yeah, let's go.’ And a lot of people probably would have or told me I was wrong in not going. But if you look at every opportunity and value people over places, it's really been a no-brainer.
“He's an excellent coach,” Day said in December. “He's a really sharp young man who's going to do unbelievable things in his career. And the relationships he's built over time with former players, current players, recruits and family has been excellent. And you know, Keenan’s turned down a lot of opportunities to go other places over the last couple of years, and he's stayed here and been a huge help. So he's got a very bright future ahead of him.
“And it's not like I've just been in the back working. I've been learning from the best, right? I get to go to work every day working for the best head coach in the country. Learning from guys like coach Wilson and coach Hartline and Justin Frye. And it's been an awesome journey. I can't wait to get going.”
