Although he’ll remain with Ohio State for the duration of its College Football Playoff run, Brian Hartline was officially introduced as South Florida’s new head coach on Monday.
Following the Buckeyes’ Big Ten Championship Game loss on Saturday, the Ohio State offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach flew to Tampa on Sunday to get started at USF. While he plans to return to Ohio State later this week to help the Buckeyes begin preparing for the College Football Playoff, Hartline was at USF on Monday to hold his first team meeting with his new players and participate in an introductory press conference.
