Perry Eliano, who spent two seasons coaching safeties at Ohio State, has landed a new job as the cornerback coach at Toledo. After his contract expired and the Buckeyes did not seek to renew it, he waited for a new coaching position before landing this opportunity.
Eliano was highly anticipated after being recruited from Cincinnati, where he coached cornerbacks and developed standout players like Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner. However, the results during his time in Columbus did not meet Ryan Day’s expectations.
With his experience at top programs like Ohio State and Cincinnati, Eliano brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to his new role with the Rockets. He will be replacing Corey Parker at Toledo, who recently moved on to Illinois.
Sources have confirmed that Eliano is officially joining Toledo as their new corners coach. With his background coaching at prestigious football programs and developing standout players, he is expected to make a significant impact on Toledo’s defense.
