Jimmy coached HS briefly, after the Jim Walden staff was fired by ISU. He stayed in Ames and coached their team briefly, while his other two sons finished up high school.
Then he eventually moved to Ohio to join Frank Solich's staff at Ohio U, where he became the DC. That's the Ohio connection for why Joe originally chose Ohio State. [Reply]

This says Iowa state. But either way, had no idea he was originally from Ames.
If you look at the date of birth of Joe in 1996 and then click the link to the Jimmy Burrow wikipedia page looks like dad was at the high school after leaving Iowa State. [Reply]
