Oklahoma assistant coach Carlin Hartman is a candidate for the Buffalo head coaching job, The Oklahoman has learned.
Hartman, a Buffalo, New York native, spoke with school administrators Monday.
Hartman has spent the last three seasons on Lon Kruger’s OU staff. His coaching resume also includes stops at Rice, Columbia, James Madison, Richmond, McNeese State and Louisiana-Lafayette.
Hartman graduated from Tulane in 1994, but he grew up in Western New York. He went to high school in Grand Island — just 14 miles north of Buffalo.
Buffalo is using a search firm to replace former coach Nate Oats, who recently took the Alabama job.
