Ohio University promotes John Hauser to head coach after the Bobcats' Frisco Bowl victory

John Hauser will be Ohio University's head coach after having the interim tag removed on Friday. Hauser was named the interim coach on Dec. 1 and led the Bobcats to a 17-10 victory over UNLV in the Frisco Bowl on Tuesday. Ohio was in the market for a coach after it fired Brian Smith on Dec. 18 for what it called “serious professional misconduct.” That included having a four-month affair with an undergraduate student while he was getting a divorce.
