ATHENS, Ohio— John Hauser has been named Interim Head Coach of the Ohio football program. Hauser has served as associate head coach and defensive coordinator for the Bobcats since December 2024 and has been with the team since 2022.
Head Coach Brian Smith will be on leave for an undetermined period of time beginning December 1.
Hauser's leadership of Ohio's defense has been credited as one of the factors that led the team to its Mid-American Conference Championship in 2024.
The Bobcats wrapped up their regular season play Friday, November 28 in Buffalo with a 31-26 win against the Bulls. Ohio (8-4, 6-2 MAC) is awaiting a bowl selection, which will be announced on Sunday, Dec. 7.
