Tony Alford joins a short list of coaches who have worked on both sides of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry including Bo Schembechler, Ed Warinner, Greg Mattison and Al Washington.
Tony Alford’s decision to leave Ohio State after spring practices had already started would have been a shock to the system no matter where he went. What makes the move really raise eyebrows in Columbus, however, is where he ended up.
George Little was an assistant coach for the Buckeyes in 1912 and 1913, then later became an assistant coach for the Wolverines in 1922 and 1923 and their head coach in 1924 after stints at Cincinnati and Miami . Jim Young, who played one season for the Buckeyes in 1954 before transferring to Bowling Green, was Schembechler’s first defensive coordinator at Michigan from 1969-72.
Al Washington was Michigan’s linebackers coach for one season in 2018 before joining Ohio State’s staff in the same role; he spent three years with the Buckeyes, then became Notre Dame’s defensive line coach – a role he remains in – when he was not retained following the 2021 season.
