Ohio State Football: Hartline an unlikely candidate for Northwestern job

The Ohio State football program will have to prepare to lose its best position coach and offensive coordinator, Brian Hartline, sometime soon. It just won’t happen now. The vacant head coaching position has internet rumors swirling about Hartline possibly moving to the windy city to take over the battered Wildcat program.

And while the top brass at Northwestern would be crazy not to give Brian Hartline a call, Hartline is not foolish enough to sniff around that job just yet. The best plan of action for Northwestern to take place is to make defensive coordinator, David Braun, who recently came over from North Dakota State, the interim coach for the 2023 season.
