Here’s a more in-depth analysis of where I’m at.

-Hartline is an Ohio kid

-The fact a Big 12 team like WVU is likely offering the position to him is very telling…..more offers and better teams will be in play by end of this carousel

-Hartline leaving will assuredly dampen multiple areas on the offensive side of the ball both in recruiting and retaining current players…..it’s important to note the “chicken and egg” component of our QB recruiting….how much is Day being a good QB coach and how much is the elite talent at WR??

-I think you can immediately look at Jeremiah Smith plus multiple recruits/ other players on roster as transfer portal candidates….Inrecognize this shouldn’t influence the decision a tremendous amount but we could see a cascading effect where the roster is left in a much different place for 2025 than expected….and is Day the guy we want in that scenario?? What if Sayin leaves if Smith decides to bolt?? It *could be a disaster, IMO.

I personally think this is a no-brainer. Keep the Ohio kid home and give him the resources Clemson gave Dabo when he was elevated from WR coach to HC…..and Brian isn’t an idiot…he’ll use the transfer portal just fine.

He’s ready….

I also think he realizes his natural progression is not to a play-caller. He’s an elite WR coach and recruiter. Taking a coordinator job isn’t going to help his progression….

Just let him take a HC position, hire an elite staff, and let him cook.

I would think he would try being a real OC before jumping from position coach to HC. That OC title was given to him so OSU could pay him more. By all accounts, he's not involved in play calling. Love Hartline and I'm sure bigger jobs are in his future, but gaining more experience is probably his best bet.
I know, I know.....BUT DABO!

I believe one Urban Meyer and one Dabo Used Car Salesman were never coordinators but they were WR's coaches.... just saying there's a track record.

Elite is elite….some dudes don’t crush the X’s and O’s but are studs when it comes to team management. The key is to know where you excel and where you struggle and lean into your strengths.

Something our current offensive “X’s and O’s” coach can’t figure out.

On the flip side it’s not like the 5 star WR recruits have won us a natty or even a big ten title for that matter.

IMO the focus needs to be the LOS.

They aren’t mutually exclusive.

Maybe the stud WR coach could have the sense god gave a billy goat and hire a good OL coach.

Uh, maybe that's because Hartline's efforts in recruiting haven't been spread across all positions. I think he'd be able to at least get the same level of OL recruits, but probably a higher level...maybe even a much higher level.

I’d like to see them do that then lol…

If we could just recruit the OL and DL competently this program would be able to play in any way possible. Sad we are saying that now…
