Joel Klatt threw out Hartline as a possible replacement for Franklin.
Klatt says that because he’s a closet Michigan fan and like most, he’s tired of the Buckeyes having absurd receiving groups that are so talented it’s nearly impossible to defend them.

Hartline has been pretty set on staying in Columbus the last few years. I’d be surprised if that changed. There’s coaches that don’t have experience as a head coach and the program is too big for them to learn to swim. Hartline to me would be the exception. He’s a dream coach in my book. I wish he was anywhere besides Columbus because it’s impossible to root against him.

breaking news: Joel Klatt is stupid. 

Penn State is not a job you learn on the fly. Hartline has never done anything but be a WR coach at Ohio State. Spare me the Co-OC title, Chip Kelly ran the offense last year and Ryan Day's always been running the show and/or heavily involved with the offense.

Hartline should've left Ohio State a long time ago if he really wanted to move up in the coaching ranks and become a head coach. Realistically he should've left Ohio State and went after a HC gig in the MAC, Mountain West, C-USA or D2 in like 2021 or 2022- done that for a few years then go somewhere up a step and in a few years if he excelled he'd be able to pick his job any time a big job came open.

Considering I am a Hawkeye fan, I would love to see Penn State hire Jimbo Fisher. :)

Front Office Sports
@FOS
James Franklin is required to look for another job in coaching or broadcasting, according to a copy of his Penn State contract obtained by FOS.

If Franklin's new job pays him less than the $8M he's owed annually through 2031, Penn State only owes him the difference.
That's actually a pretty good idea instead of giving gobs of cash to those that already have that and were fired for cause

I was actually wondering about this.  I am glad they clarified it.  This is why a lot of fired coaches take one of those offensive analyst jobs for a year or 2.  Do the minimal amount of work you can (or at least its less hours and stress than a head coach ) while you get your payout.
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.

I'm not concerned
just smile when I see the sign the states, "Employees MUST wash their hands before returning to work"
