Ginn was hired in December 2025 and the Aviators have a game tomorrow (Sunday) at 11am. It has already been confirmed that offensive coordinator Todd Haley will serve as the interim head coach for the contest:
Ginn, hired in December 2025 as the inaugural head coach of the UFL’s Columbus Aviators, is a beloved Ohio State icon. The Cleveland native starred for the Buckeyes from 2004–06 as a dynamic wide receiver and return specialist. He helped lead Ohio State to the 2006 BCS National Championship Game and left Columbus as one of the program’s most explosive playmakers in the return game.
The timing could not be worse for the Aviators. Columbus is scheduled to play the Dallas Renegades tomorrow, at 11 a.m. CT. Multiple UFL insiders, including journalist James Larsen of PFN/UFL Newsroom, reported that offensive coordinator Todd Haley — a veteran NFL coach with prior head-coaching experience — is expected to serve as interim head coach for the contest.
