The Ohio State football program is in hot pursuit of back-to-back national championships. They are still undefeated and are the top-ranked team in the country. The Buckeyes are fighting distractions outside the building, as rumors swirl around Brian Hartline's future.
Hartline's name has been thrown around as a possible candidate for the Penn State head coaching job after the firing of James Franklin. Even if Hartline doesn't end up taking that job, his name will be brought up for several of the other job openings across the country.
Despite Hartline only being in his first year as a play-caller, he is getting strong consideration for these jobs because of his recruiting ability.
