The Ohio State football team hired Joel Philbin last week and an offensive analyst. The move was engineered by Brian Hartline, who previously had played under Philbin while with the Miami Dolphins. This is a solid move for the program for numerous reasons, including Philbin’s many seasons of coaching professional football. Hartline said this, earlier this week:
“The wealth of knowledge that he has as a position coach, head coach, football coach, I think everyone in the building can learn something from him. It’s really awesome. To say it’s not pretty cool in my perspective to see, be around coach Philbin again in a different light, in a different way would be an understatement.
