Hartline is going to do everything by the book which is great…..he and Ryan Day have become best friends over the years, which helps a lot in this scenario.

It’s going to be really fascinating to see which players and coaches follow him to USF.

The thing to keep in mind, is if it’s “harmful” to OSU, it won’t happen because Hartline isn’t going to undermine OSU. There will 100% be some transfers to USF, and I’d imagine some lower level staffers, but in every case it will be because they weren’t going to make an impact at OSU and USF will give them an opportunity to see field or grow their careers.

It was going to happen at some point and in many ways I’m happy he’s going to USF and not, say a University of Florida, where he’d absolutely demolish us in WR recruiting.

Still very surprised he didn’t land a P4 job…..I think AD’s are so stuck inside a box on how they hire, they never really gave Hartline enough thought. Now if he crushes it at USF, it’ll be a massive bidding war when they could’ve had him today, already building the program up (I’m looking at you PSU and UF).

……or maybe Hartline doesn’t want to compete with OSU right out of the gate in his new endeavor. If that’s the case I respect him even more bc it’d have sucked to watch recruits and possibly some players follow him to whatever P4 job he took.

Hopefully this is the long game to coming back and coaching OSU when Day is done.


But we've said that before of guys.

Time will tell

The difference is the last 2 coach's had a clear clock on their timeline while Day could be here for decades more if he wants to be and keeps up the results.

I'm going by the logic that about ~10 years guys and their programs need a change from each other.

Give or take a couple either way. It's in the window.

The other benchmark would be Saban and Dabo. They were / have been at their places for 17 / 16 years respectively. Day has been at OSU for 6. Part of the reason Saban/Dabo both stayed so long is they found a 'second wind' of success right around the same tenure that Day is now (6-8 years in). And then rode that for another 10 years. Not saying that's what will happen with Day, but it does feel like he's getting that 'second wind' right now.

The other part of Saban especially's longevity is that he replaced coordinators with A+ hires like nobody else. Will see with Day!

He might have some inside info on how long Day plans on coaching, and going belt to ass on the G5 for x years before getting tapped on the shoulder to come home.
