Former Ohio State QB Kenny Guiton the new WR coach at Houston

Kenny Guiton’s run in Austin with former Ohio State OC Tom Herman, the new head coach at Texas, appears to be a short one.

After the University of Houston dismissed their wide receivers coach, Guiton is going to replace him in the same role. This will mark Guiton’s first job as a full positional coach in the college ranks.

Guiton had been set to serve as an offensive quality control assistant, biding his time for a full positional opportunity and continuing to build coaching experience, at the University of Texas. He’d served in a variety of capacities as a graduate assistant for Herman prior when the two were at Houston.

This marks Guiton’s first non-NFL full time gig since his graduation from OSU. While never the Buckeyes’ starter, he famously led a come from behind late-in-game victory over Purdue while filling in for an injured Braxton Miller.

Best of luck Kenny G. Perhaps a coaching return to Columbus isn’t too far off in the future.
