I agree. Part of me wonders about his exit to South Florida.I think promoting Hartline was a mistake - he wasn’t a very good OC, the duel responsibilities made him a worse WR coach, and the entire point was to keep him around longer and he left after one year anyway.
On top of everything else, Hartline’s recruiting dominance was basically over because of NIL, he can’t stack 3-4 #1 WRs anymore because you can’t pay them all #1 money no matter how good you are at recruiting.I agree. Part of me wonders about his exit to South Florida.
I always thought he’d land at a school like Minnesota, South Carolina, Stanford, or TCU kind of level.
Going to South Florida seems like if he had the option to he should’ve stayed until he got a mid level power four job.
I’m guessing here but wouldn’t be surprised if everyone knew it wasn’t working.
Anyway, I think this hire will work out but I have no expectations. Certainly nothing where I think he’s terrible.
I wonder if he could find a way to get FedEx to donate NIL funds for those effortsI'll trust the process but if this goes wrong it would kill the receiver pipeline.
South Florida was actually a really likely Job for him. They invest funds he knows the area from his time in the league at Miami. He knows how to recruit the areaI agree. Part of me wonders about his exit to South Florida.

FedEx pledges $25M over 5 years to NIL program at Memphis
FedEx on Friday pledged $25 million over the next five years to be used in sponsorship deals with University of Memphis athletes, a huge boost for the school's name, image and likeness compensation efforts.
The Memphis-based shipping giant said the program will initially focus on football, men's and women's basketball and other women's sports. The deal was facilitated by Altius Sports Partners, a company that works with dozens of schools on NIL activities.
The deal is for $5 million per year, a significant sum for a school that does not play in a wealthy power conference. The Tigers compete in the American Athletic Conference.

FedEx headquarters. They own the city.Too lazy… why did they give Memphis 25mil?
Well fair enough.FedEx headquarters. They own the city.
FedEx headquarters. They own the city.
Beale St used to be a lot of fun.Successful coordinators, or Arthur Smith?It's hard to believe a National Championship-winning Head Coach of a college football team that wants to attract players who dream of playing in the NFL would dare to higher former successful coordinators at the NFL level and now make them the Head Coaches of their respective sides of the ball at the collegiate level.
Sarcasm font.
SIAP, just catching up after a couple of days dooms-day prepping here in NC.Re: His father is FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith.
Just sayin': I'll go out on a limb here and say he didn't accept the Ohio State job because of the money and/or it wasn't because he couldn't get a job somewhere in the NFL. He legitimately wanted to be here and that is definitely a positive.
