Ohio State coordinator Brian Hartline hired by South Florida: Reports
Brian Hartline is expected to be hired as the next head coach at South Florida, according to multiple reports published on Dec. 3.
Hartline has been the wide receivers coach for the Buckeyes throughout coach Ryan Day’s tenure and the primary offensive coordinator and play-caller this season.
A former wide receiver for the Buckeyes who went on to play seven seasons in the NFL, most of them with the Miami Dolphins, he first joined the staff as a quality control coach in 2017 before taking over as the position coach.
Hartline has been well regarded for his development of wide receivers as the Buckeyes have seen five of them taken in the first round of the NFL draft over the last four years.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
