(Probably going to end up needing a South Florida thread at some point.)

Bradden has experience with Nebraska and the KC Chiefs. Verpaele is a Foorida native and USF alum with a poet extensive DB resume since 09. Good hires to start out with.

So who’s making these assistant coach hiring decisions at USF while Hartline is working full time as OC at Ohio State?

I posted the information below in the Cotton Bowl thread but since it may have bearing on the implication of your question, I am copying it here.

Interesting nugget picked up from Austin Ward at On3. The CFP playoff committee requires that participating teams, hold a pregame press conference that makes available the offensive and defensive coordinators for each team. Failure to comply results in fines. Ohio State is holding their press conferences today. The lineup provided by Ohio State yesterday has Matt Patricia leading the defensive press conference. However, Ohio State has listed that Ryan Day and not Hartline will be speaking at the offensive press conference. Implication being that Ryan Day will be calling plays going forward.

If true, I think I like it.

Hartline is still going to be calling the plays. We went over this already. "Calling plays" isn't nearly what fans think it is...

It's also a funny boogey man. I thought Day calling plays was the bad thing that caused us to lose whatever games we lost before we had Chip. Now it's a good thing again......till we lose.

My scarlet glasses hope is that it’s a bad thing on a week to week basis when there’s a time crunch; it’s a good thing in the bowl games with extra time to prepare.

Skull Session: Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery Among ESPN’s Top NFL Draft Prospects in 2026, Brian Hartline Ranks the Top Five Wide Receivers He Coached at Ohio State

Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery are among ESPN's top NFL draft prospects in 2026, and Brian Hartline ranks his top five Ohio State wide receivers.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com

BRIAN HARTLINE’S TOP FIVE. Last week, Brian Hartline appeared on Steve Smith’s 89 podcast, where he joined Smith and James Palmer to discuss his journey to becoming USF’s head coach, wide receiver non-negotiables, transparency in the NIL era, and his evaluation of Jaxon Smith-Njigba.



Perhaps most interesting for Eleven Warriors readers was Smith’s list of the top 10 wide receivers Hartline coached at Ohio State, which we’ll examine below (Smith only ranked former Buckeyes, so Jeremiah Smith is not included):

  1. Marvin Harrison Jr.
  2. Garrett Wilson
  3. Chris Olave
  4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
  5. Emeka Egbuka
  6. Devin Smith
  7. Michael Thomas
  8. Parris Campbell
  9. K.J. Hill
  10. Terry McLaurin
Hartline told Steve Smith he didn’t coach Devin Smith or Michael Thomas, so Smith allowed him to swap those Buckeyes out of his list. Hartline then added Austin Mack and Jameson Williams instead, without revealing where they should land in Smith’s revised top 10.
