Welcome to the fam Kaden! Enforcer type S, who will be interesting to watch to see how his body grows. Can still stay at S but may grow into a LB. Definitely worth the schollie to see how he develops and how MP can utilize him

So now you are going to have (in no particular order)

MSU
tsun
Iowa
Minny
Wisky
Northwestern
Illinois
Nebraska

All basically be the same team, with the same style and the same kind of coach just fluctuating talent/experience on the roster in any given year.

We should go back to divisions and call this one the plain, cold oatmeal division.

Yawn

They can't all hire Mike Locksley.

Damn. Knew it was going to happen one day but it still hurts

From what we saw while Smith and Tate were out, we really need to keep Chris Henry in the fold.

Eh there needs to be more of a WR rotation throughout the season. When you have to suddenly throw the 2nd team in with the 1st team when otherwise they haven't played together there's all kinds of chemistry and timing issues that negate talent.

Would expect that Day & Co would be on the phone with ALL the WRs, assuring that he'd get the best and the brightest to fill Harline's shoes. Probably not sure who that is yet, but could reasonably assume that with the stable already in the barn, and what's coming in, AND the juggernaut that is the Ohio State Buckeyes, someone with 'moving on up' aspirations would jump on the Buckeye wagon. Wonder if it's gonna be an OC/WR gig, or simply a WR position coach, with Chip lurking in the background w/o somewhere to go on Mondays. Time will tell. Assuming that Chip had the severance package subject to finding another NFL job, would he keep it if he goes to the collegiate ranks? Sorry, at my advanced age, ADHD kinda sets in.....

Generally it's comparable jobs with offset language. Which means ohio state can pay chip 2 mill a year and the Raiders are on the hook for the rest

Thought it was UCF, not USF. My bad. UCF has larger enrollment than tOSU, by the by. For an inexperienced coach, don't believe he should get credit for being OC at tOSU, Chip did it last year, and this year, am not entirely certain Day doesn't second guess, dictate, with Hartline. Anyway, starting out at a smaller school might have some advantages, but certainly see the points in going to a big school. (PS, remember, not everyone is a Day, and also recollect he coached for several years in the pros). Hartline has had some good people to learn from, UFM, and Day, plus Chip, so he might be able to ease in. Biggest issue might be instilling a Buckeye-like mentality. Plus getting some decent coaches to follow him, and/or join him. And hopefully, he got (in writing?) the NIL support he's going to need. And he can hopefully attract some decent athletes from the rich Florida pool, and build himself a decent team (have no earthly idea how they are doing currently). Also believe he's jumping the line a bit, not going through things like Eddie George is......

Replace him in the aggregate...

Well, fuck. Felt confident he'd be here for a while longer

I thought Hartline would walk into a P4 job personally……I’m not a huge fan of this move for him. Honestly, I thought he’d crush it at UF, FSU, or Miami if he wanted to wait it out a bit.

USF is tricky……it’s a bigger school than most realize, but still not attractive enough to pull in 5 star talent. He’s in a weird spot to me…again, JMO.

I think he sold himself a little short, and it’s going to be really hard to match the production of Golesh who did a really nice job there.

I hope he proves me wrong…

Honestly it's a good job and it opens up the return home if Day decides to move on which I don't see any signs off but still. Taking Penn state or something of that level would make it harder.

Also he lived in Florida for a large chunk of his NFL carrier
