Down the Road: Brian Hartline as OC?

[TC@ne]

Want to know people’s thoughts on a hypothetical situation where he becomes Enos’s replacement in 1-3 years. Wondered this before because he seems to be rising fast, and Omar Kelly’s tweet today reminded me of it.

Pros: clearly rising fast, his receivers produce in the NFL (Thomas, McLaurin, etc), he was a technician in the day, players respond to him, familiarity with Miami, isn’t married to particular offensive scheme, has low level assistants under him from the area that many of their South Florida targets give credit to for their interest in OSU.

Cons: possibly too fresh, no play-calling experience, we don’t know how involved he is in gameplan, very limited coaching tree.

More pros than cons, but the cons are BIG. However, some position coaches are the type to get promoted to coordinator somewhere else and he seems like one of those guys.

And if you like him but it sounds premature, what you need to see from him to hire him?

1-3 years? Get rid of Enos now and we'll discuss Hartline as his replacement's replacement.

Anyone who doesn't run pro style, bro is welcome with open arms. However, we need someone proven. No more learning on the job.

 

[Canes Brotherhood]

He has a home here and we know he played for the Fins. Would be a HR hire. But it won’t happen.

247 has him as the best recruiter in the country

 

[PSU Cane]

Incredible recruiter and WR coach. Was better pro than most gave him credit for.

OC?? Very green right now but i could easily see it given his background and what's he's been able to learn from Urban/Day.

Beggars can’t be choosers. Besides, that probably ended when we hired a Nole as HC.

Wes Welker. I like offensive coaches from the Mike Leach tree.

Would be interesting, I like that as well. The HC at Cardinal Gibbons played WR with him at Tech.

Fvck the Dolphins and fvck the Buckeyes

There's a common trend happening right now where these young white dudes are getting hired with limited experience. And it's actually f*cking working.

Find me the next young white dude. Anyone know what Johnny Manziel is up to?

WR Coach is not necessarily where you expect someone to transition to being a strong schematic coordinator.

LSU (and many others) disagrees

He's their passing game coordinator first, but had to cover a position. He was never a WR coach before becoming a coordinator despite having played the position.

I don't want anyone from the NFL.

South Florida athletes can not understand complicated offense.

I want someone who came from the high school ranks. Like someone from the Gus Malzahn tree. Or possibly an air raid.

This pro style **** is killing us. Our kids are the furthest things from professionals you could possibly imagine.

Whoa!

You saying we're stuck with Enos for 1-3 YEARS????

There went MY Christmas!

You mean the same south florida athletes that have no problem fitting in to offenses around the country?

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

Cecil Collins would be a good OC. The new dorms would get him here
