Holtmann spent nearly seven seasons with the Buckeyes, before being let go. The Buckeyes made the NCAA Tournament four times under Holtmann but didn’t make the Big Dance last season and were on pace to miss out again in 2024 before he was let go.
Despite Holtmann’s underwhelming conclusion to his tenure at Ohio State, he is excited to take the reigns at DePaul.
“I’ll be honest, as I went through this process, there were people who I care about, who care about me, who said, ‘Are you ready for this?’” Holtmann said. “Are you ready for the challenges of rebuilding this program? Are you ready to jump in? Almost as a word of caution.
“While I thought about some of the challenges and while I recognize there are always going to be difficult days, there always are when you’re trying to compete at the very highest level. In anything you do, there will be difficult days.”
