Buckeye Nation is going to miss Brian Hartline. He's been one of the best assistant coaches and recruiters in the entire country since he joined the staff at Ohio State, and we all wish him luck as the new head coach of the USF Bulls.
The Tampa community is lucky to have him, and if he comes anywhere close to what he accomplished in Columbus, it'll be a slam dunk in the Sunshine State for a guy who's given his heart and soul to the Ohio State program, both as a player and assistant coach.
Hartline was introduced to the USF community on Monday, and to say that it was an event would be an understatement. It was complete with the band, cheerleaders, and a theatrical video that would get any Bulls fan excited about the new era in Tampa. We know this isn't USF wire, but we like to follow one of Ohio State's own and wish him well, so here's a look at some of the best sites and sounds of Hartline and his journey to the introduction in Tampa Bay Monday, thanks to USF social media.
