Headline: Ohio State Offensive Coordinator Brian Hartline a Candidate for Penn State Coaching Job

State College, PA – As the search for a new head football coach continues, Penn State has reportedly set its sights on Ohio State Offensive Coordinator Brian Hartline. Nittany Sports Now confirms reports that Hartline is being considered for the position.

Hartline, known for his success in developing top NFL wide receiver talent, is viewed as a risky but intriguing option. Despite his impressive track record at Ohio State, particularly in recruiting and offensive development, Hartline has no prior head coaching experience and limited experience as an offensive coordinator. He has been an offensive coordinator at Ohio State, first in 2023, and then over this off-season.

Questions remain about how much of Ohio State’s offensive success can be attributed to Hartline versus head coach Ryan Day.

The news comes as Penn State is coming off of a 38-14 loss to No. 1 Ohio State. The team is currently dealing with a disappointing season.
