Ohio State OC Brian Hartline EMERGES as Penn State's Front-Runner | Coaching Carousel Update
 
The coaching hunt at Penn State is heating up after the program's decision to move on from James Franklin β€” and now Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline is emerging as the new odds-on favorite to take over in Happy Valley. From being one of the top recruiters in the country to transforming receivers into first-round NFL talent, Hartline's stock has never been higher.
 
In this episode, we break down:
 
Why Brian Hartline's name is climbing Penn State's "hot board" and what the current odds say.
His rise at Ohio State Buckeyes: From star WR coach to offensive coordinator and mentorship of elite talent.
 
The strengths and possible concerns of hiring Hartline: recruiting prowess, but limited head-coaching experience.

Whether Ohio State can keep him or if this is his "Ryan Day moment" to move up.
 
Whether you're a Penn State supporter, a Buckeyes fan watching his departure, or a college football follower tracking the coach carousel β€” this is your must-see breakdown on one of the biggest hires potentially happening in CFB.

College football is a game of explosive plays, immense passion, and endless thrills. Every Saturday during the college football season, the spirit of competition and excitement take the field as the nation's top student-athletes battle for gridiron glory. The powerhouses in college football are teams like Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, and Florida, all of whom compete in the fiercely contested NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. Whether it's a hard-fought rivalry, chaotic scene in the stands, or an unbelievable touchdown grab, college football fans of all ages, backgrounds, and regions experience the same passion and intensity each week. From the blue-blooded programs to the rising stars, college football will always be the people's game.

Ohio State Football is one of the most successful college football programs in history. With a total of 9 National Championships, the Buckeyes have established themselves as a powerhouse in the NCAA. Led by head coach Ryan Day, Ohio State has become known for its hard-hitting, aggressive defense and a high-octane offensive attack. While their recent success has been rooted in their strong recruiting class and their 2014 national championship, the program has a long and storied history in the college football world. On any given Saturday, the OSU faithful can be found inside the famous Ohio Stadium cheering on the scarlet and gray. Regardless of the opponent, each game brings out the passion and excitement that Ohio State fans are so well known for. Follow the Buckeyes and join the Buckeye Nation in their quest to reach another championship. Go Bucks!

That place was, I mean, I got distracted so many times during the show with these crazy ass rolling around emojis. I mean, it's a lot of sensory overloaded. And part of that is because they like to keep people there all day.

Supposed to be one verse two. I mean, literally, like, cancel all your plans, November 1st. Like, not only are we in the final stretch the home stretch of the season

like that was the big debate we kept having who Well, who's what, here's what craziest. One of the best games that right now is going to be Vanderbilt at Texas. Which is so bizarre. On this weekend, this is supposed to be the banger weekend. This was, this was supposed to be it. I mean, that's nine versus 20. Outside of that, what do we got? Oklahoma, Tennessee to see, like, who's going to get the final nail in their coffin and not make the playoffs? Yeah, man. That's the other one. In a weekend, it was supposed to have top five matchup, Ohio State, Penn State, and a litany of other games. Cincinnati, Utah is one of three ranked games. Disgusting, man. This was supposed to be like the weekend, but the weekend ended up being, what, the Oregon Penn State weekend? And then, but then looking back, is that weekend even matter?
