Following the firing of Zach Smith on Monday, Ohio State named former Buckeye Brian Hartline its interim wide receivers coach on Thursday morning.
In addition to Hartline's promotion, Urban Meyer also promoted former graduate assistant Corey Dennis to senior quality control coach, working with the wide receivers and quarterbacks. Dennis, who has been with Ohio State since 2015, is also Meyer's son-in-law.
“As I said in Chicago, I am very confident with the individuals on this coaching staff and both Brian and Corey are quality young men,” Meyer said in a release. “I anticipate both of them doing well with their new responsibilities.
