OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (Official Thread)

SKULL SESSION: BRIAN HARTLINE SPURNS NFL TEAMS, CARDALE JONES IS THE KING OF THE XFL, AND A BUCKEYE FAN (ALMOST) NEVER MISSES A GAME

CHOOSING COLUMBUS. We all knew there would come a time that Brian Hartline would have to make a tough decision about his future in Columbus, but what we didn't know is that he already has – multiple times.

USC OC Graham Harrell was one college coach the Eagles looked at hiring in January. Here’s another: Ohio State receivers coach Brian Hartline. Philly pursued the ex-NFL receiver to help with the team’s passing game and coach its wideouts, which is another sign of how the Eagles looked at trying to add some outside-the-NFL influence to their mix. Hartline wound up deciding to remain in Columbus in 2020, but Philly wasn’t the only team to show interest in this rising coaching star, and this isn’t the first year it’s happened. The Colts, for one, looked hard at Hartline a couple years ago, too.

I took it with an extreme grain of salt when he said he had "no desire" to leave Ohio State, because that can always change when someone gives him a couple million reasons to go elsewhere.

But after hearing that, I'm now significantly more optimistic that coaching receivers in Columbus might actually just be his favorite thing and he genuinely plans to do it for a very long time.

That's bad news for college football, but great news for every five-star teen receiver making a college decision.

STAY INSIDE, GET BETTER. Social distancing hasn't brought everything related to sports to a screeching halt just yet (y'all still have me!), it's just forced a little more creativity.

And it looks like Brian Hartline's doing just fine on that front.



I'm not sure how possible it is to coach a wide receiver through skype, but if anyone can make it work, it's going to be Brian Hartline.

Just sayin': Ohio State recruited Hartline as a player and he was a very good football player; however, that scholarship has really started paying dividends when he can back to coach at his alma mater.

Oh! come let’s sing Ohio’s praise
And songs to Alma Mater raise;
While our hearts rebounding thrill
With joy which death alone can still.
Summer’s heat or winter’s cold,
The seasons pass, the years will roll;
Time and change will surely show
How firm thy friendship — O-hi-o.

Hartline on how Ryan Day, Urban Meyer compare to each other

One is one of the all-time legends in college football. The other could be well on his way to achieving that status many years down the line. So, how do Urban Meyer and Ryan Day compare to each other as head coaches? Well, someone who worked for Meyer and currently works for Day -- Ohio State wide receivers coach Brian Hartline who is one of the rising stars in the profession -- broke it down for 247Sports in the Social Distance video series. (You can watch more from Hartline in the interview above with Barton Simmons.)

"You know, there are always going to be differences and some similarities," Hartline said. "The attention to detail, the focus on culture, those are things they have in common. Culture might be a little different and they might have their own spin on it, but the emphasis on having a great culture remains the same. And to me, that's the catalyst; that's the catalyst for it all. That's been phenomenal.

"But just talking about Coach Day, he's a family man first. Not that others aren't, but you just feel it and he coaches that way, he disciplines that way and he holds his staff accountable that way. So, I guess I can't say enough good things about both of those men. But working with Coach Day has bee phenomenal. His ability to have offensive production and his ability to game plan and his ability to see things has just been awesome to learn from. But then to also see how he conducts himself, how he carries himself, and his ability to remain calm, kind of at all times. He can absorb information on the fly and then give a really good response almost immediately. That has been phenomenal.

"So, a lot to learn as a young coach, but I've absolutely had some great first impressions on both guys and I've learned a lot. And I guess the accessability of Coach Meyer has been profound. I don't even know how often most coaches would have a chance to see a guy like that around the building or give him a call and he he's answering the phone like that (snaps fingers). So, true great men for sure."

Great article, Can you believe it? His first year he was just an "interim" WR coach......

Probably the best WR coach/recruiter in college football; and he just "fell in our lap" after Smith was fired.



Instead, after taking a year off following the end of his NFL career, the 33-year-old, third-year Ohio State assistant saw an opportunity to do something better: Help kids realize their potential.

And a lot of the country’s best young wide receivers are lining up for his tutelage. The reason for that is simple: Hartline knows what he’s doing, and he does it as a genuine person and teacher. That’s why he’s quickly answered any questions about his ability to recruit.

“I’ve been doing this a fair amount of years,” Nate Moore, who coaches Ohio State commit Jayden Ballard, told Lettermen Row.”There are a lot of coaches out there that are a used car salesman, for lack of a better term. Then there are coaches out there that are just really, really genuine people.

“Brian Hartline is that.”

Being as young as he is, Hartline easily identifies with players around the country. He can sincerely and honestly tell young men and their families that he’s been where they are now since he was once recruited by Ohio State in the Class of 2005. He can give advice and perspective from a vantage point that most of his peers can’t, and he’s also done the work in a Buckeyes uniform to get to the NFL. He knows how to make that happen for the young men he coaches and is doing it out of a love of football. A love of teaching it.

Nothing more, nothing less.

WIDE RECEIVERS COACH BRIAN HARTLINE
HOW READY ARE THE FRESHMEN FOR MAJOR ROLES?
Chris Olave will be a stud, and Garrett Wilson could join him. But whoever else adds to Fields’ arsenal of weapons won’t have much experience.

The returns consist of C.J. Saunders (27 career catches), McCall (19 career catches), Jameson Williams (6 career catches), Jaylen Harris (5 career catches), Elijah Gardiner (1 career catch) and Kamryn Babb (0 career catches). That’s not a ton of experience. Naturally, it opens the door to a quartet of freshmen, all of whom were top-100 overall recruits.

Julian Fleming, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Gee Scott Jr. and Mookie Cooper each bring different skillsets to the field, which makes them intriguing options to play immediately. Hartline has a ton of talent in his room, but he’ll need to figure out how to deploy it. The four first-year receivers will weigh heavily in his mind.
