I thought Hartline would walk into a P4 job personally……I’m not a huge fan of this move for him. Honestly, I thought he’d crush it at UF, FSU, or Miami if he wanted to wait it out a bit.

USF is tricky……it’s a bigger school than most realize, but still not attractive enough to pull in 5 star talent. He’s in a weird spot to me…again, JMO.

I think he sold himself a little short, and it’s going to be really hard to match the production of Golesh who did a really nice job there.

I hope he proves me wrong…

That’s the way I see it..he’s not a threat there.

Honestly it's a good job and it opens up the return home if Day decides to move on which I don't see any signs off but still. Taking Penn state or something of that level would make it harder.

Also he lived in Florida for a large chunk of his NFL carrier

Thought it was UCF, not USF. My bad. UCF has larger enrollment than tOSU, by the by. For an inexperienced coach, don't believe he should get credit for being OC at tOSU, Chip did it last year, and this year, am not entirely certain Day doesn't second guess, dictate, with Hartline. Anyway, starting out at a smaller school might have some advantages, but certainly see the points in going to a big school. (PS, remember, not everyone is a Day, and also recollect he coached for several years in the pros). Hartline has had some good people to learn from, UFM, and Day, plus Chip, so he might be able to ease in. Biggest issue might be instilling a Buckeye-like mentality. Plus getting some decent coaches to follow him, and/or join him. And hopefully, he got (in writing?) the NIL support he's going to need. And he can hopefully attract some decent athletes from the rich Florida pool, and build himself a decent team (have no earthly idea how they are doing currently). Also believe he's jumping the line a bit, not going through things like Eddie George is......

From what we saw while Smith and Tate were out, we really need to keep Chris Henry in the fold.

Eh there needs to be more of a WR rotation throughout the season. When you have to suddenly throw the 2nd team in with the 1st team when otherwise they haven't played together there's all kinds of chemistry and timing issues that negate talent.

I just hope he is fully engaged through this playoff run.

He’s going to kill it down here, it’s a great place to start out as HC. The team couldn’t come close to filling up the ray jay, but they’ve got a new smaller on campus stadium under construction. The CEO of athletics(AD) is a young, high energy, creative Tampa local and USF grad. Vinnick (Lightning owner, former Storm owner in AFL) is involved in the USF athletics.

We typically go to 1 game a year when they do faculty appreciation day. Still a great environment, student section is usually full for being so far from campus. Attendance is usually in the 30s and the new stadium is 35k seats so the environment should be rocking. Sad because I only live 10 minutes away now on surface roads and the new stadium is 30 minutes on the interstate.

some times life is good and somtimes life just plain sucks. Sigh. I kinda wished he would be here forever but on the other hand he nneeds experience as a head coach in order to come back and be the head coach here. right after Vrabel, Freeman, etc.
