Impending Assistant Coach Vacancies

But he is a former Buckeye who played under Day which is a positive. He was known as an exceptional leader while here too. Hartline didn't have any OC experience before this year either. I'm sure JT has learned a lot from Ben Johnson and I would not be surprised to see him do well hereJ

JT was an exceptional leader but that doesn’t always translate into being able to recruit. Hartlind didn’t have any OC experience but he did have many years of already being on the staff and establishing himself as an elite college coaching/recruiter.

I don't see any reason to expect him not to be a good recruiter; it's not a Chip Kelly situation where we know he has no willingness to recruit. He fits the Hartline/Laurinaitis archetype who've both been exceptional at recruiting and development. And this is still going to be Ryan Day's offense, so it's not like JT will be installing a new system. Count me as being in favor of considering JT for OC
