OK, that's a laugher. On a more serious note, is Hartline poaching any tOSU coaches, asst coaches, helpers, or 'consultants'?

He doesn’t seem like the type that will poach OSU. I bet guys that go with him are mutual decisions between him, Day, and the player/coach.

If I were him I would be trying to convince Lincoln to come down to Tampa. It’s not like KH will start, and he’s a great athletic QB that Hartline has worked extensively with.

Also if he got some guys that weren’t going to get much PT, he could set himself up nicely for a first year.

SERE, you got some great thoughts there! Some of the non-used Buckeyes could have a huge impact with Hartline, starting with Lincoln....couple of wide receivers, and maybe some 'passed over' OL guys....keep those great thoughts working.

Thanks! I know we’re live in the social media age where drama sells, but I think Hartline is leaving on great terms. I wouldn’t be surprised if Day gave him all the recommendations in the world and helped him with the process - he’s been there before.

Taking some players and analysts with him would be great for both schools. For the bulls, young coaches get a bigger title, the players get exposure and opportunities to showcase talents. This familiarity will help Hartline adjust to his new role which is going to be a big bite.

For Ohio State, Day gets the guys in a better school that is more fit for them right now. It also frees up transfer portal and recruiting space for us, while still having pride in those that have left. You generally don’t hear anything negative from his that have left, always positive (see: Burrow, Ryan Williams).

Wrong. This business is cutthroat at this level. Wish him well in the media, but after that he is on his own. PERIOD. You can't help your enemy.

You might be correct, dunno. But we're talking about Ohio State here. There's no way, USF can/could compete with tOSU, well, maybe baseball. But to foster Hartline, a splinter from the Day tree, with some Ohio State trained guys, that for whatever reason, haven't cracked the two deep, is a way for these kids to get their moment in the sun. And they go with good feelings. Don't know about you, but during my career, I take pride in that six of my staff, became what I was, albeit at other places. That is the third leg of the stool - learning, doing, and mentoring. Anyway, enough of the philosophy. Heck, wouldn't be surprised if tOSU schedules USF down the road, just to give them a bump.

Everyone in division 1 ball is our enemy man. Every team out there can take recruits. You need to be a fucking savage to compete at this level. I was hoping Day had become a hardcore savage after that loss to TTUN last year. I hope I am right.

USF being good would hurt Da U, UF, and FSU and potentially benefit OSU more that way than losing a recruit or r two to them would.

Of course you take pride, and you should. You sound like a great person and the type of person a man would want to work for.

This isn't the small business world. This is The Ohio State University. A multi billion dollar affair. With other schools that are also billion dollar entities clawing at your fucking throat. This is why these guys make 10mill plus a year... cause you lose a little bit of your soul to win. It is what it is.

Also let's not lose sight of the fact that Hartline is leaving Day high and dry, while in the middle of trying to become repeat champs. Such a rare thing to accomplish in this business, and Hartline went cutthroat and took a private jet to tampa... because it is what it is.

We dont get any recruits from FL? Wtf are you talking about. Listen I wish the world was a better place. Its not. Go read about all the crazy shenanigans that happen while these 18year olds are being recruited, its nuts.

I wish Hartline well, sincerely, but it's sink or swim for him. Thats just the nature of the beast.

Not our enemy. Hartline knows he can’t field a team at that level that would compete with the Buckeyes. The recruiting won’t even be a battle. It’s not like he left for Bama or USC.

Helping get guys PT and in positions of success is what life is about. You can be competitive without making someone out to be an enemy.

Again I disagree. A guy like hartline doesn't take a job if he doesn't think he can compete. WTF is he gong to work 90hr weeks for? To fucking lose?

I guess when Cignetti took the Indiana job, he just knew he was always going to be second rate.... he just wished upon a star that he could win 6 games and get a bowl game.. No. HE said FUCK that I am here to win.

If you dont think USF can compete your crazy. Shit just 5 years ago UCF was always in the running for the playoffs. FL has talent everywhere and the population has exploded over the last 5 years. I will be shocked if USF isn't a top 15 team in 2 years
