It's tough to put into words just what Ohio State football offensive coordinator Brian Hartline has meant to the program in recent years. He's an ace recruiter and thus far he's looked fantastic as the new play-caller for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes, who look to be in a great spot to repeat as national champs.
He's obviously a coach on the rise, and with so many job openings now available it shouldn't be a surprise that he's being linked with many of them. Unfortunately, the list includes Penn State, which made the earth-shattering move to fire James Franklin after a three-game losing streak.
