"&lt;p&gt;               &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Third-year Ohio State defensive line coach Mike Vrabel is jumping back to the NFL to rejoin new Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Vrabel, who played at Ohio State and went on to a 14-year career in the NFL, will coach linebackers, he confirmed in a post on Twitter.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; \"I am thankful for everyone assoc with TOSU for 3 great years and my family and I are excited to join the Houston Texans as the LB coach,\" he posted early Thursday night.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; O'Brien, the head coach at Penn State the past two years, had been a top assistant with the New England Patriots in 2007-08 when Vrabel was a player. Vrabel won three Super Bowls with the Patriots.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Vrabel was one of the top recruiters for coach Urban Meyer. Joey Bosa, a freshman defensive end, was recruited by Vrabel and developed into a starter this past season.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Meyer did not have an immediate comment.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith also turned to Twitter to congratulate Vrabel and his wife.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; \"Thanks Mike and Jen Vrabel for all you gave the Buckeyes. Good luck in Houston. Here for you always!!! (hash)GoBucks,\" Smith posted on his account.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Vrabel becomes the second defensive coach to leave the Buckeyes in recent weeks. Everett Withers, co-defensive coordinator and assistant head coach/safeties left to take the head coaching position at James Madison last month.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The Buckeyes went 12-2 this past season, running their school-record winning streak to 24 games in a row before losing their final two games, 34-24 to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game and 40-34 to Clemson in the Orange Bowl.        &lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
