Todd Armstrong Fitch (born February 15, 1964)[1] is an American football coach and former player who is currently an offensive analyst at Ohio State. He has served as an assistant coach at various programs since the mid-1980s.

Playing career

Fitch was born in Saline, Michigan; his family then lived in nearby Dundee but eventually moved to Bellaire, Ohio.[1] He graduated from Bellaire High School, where he played football, and then attended Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio.[2] One of his best friends at Ohio Wesleyan was Tim Corbin, then two years ahead of him and the football student-manager. Fitch and Corbin were reunited in 2020 when Fitch became an assistant at Vanderbilt; Corbin had been the head baseball coach there since 2003.[3][4] He played defensive back from 1982 to 1985, lettering 1983–1985, and earning All-North Coast Athletic Conference honors in 1985.[5]

Coaching career

Fitch served as the interim head coach for Vanderbilt following the firing of Derek Mason in the 2020 season. He coached in one game, a 42–17 loss to Tennessee.[6][7][8]
