Which Buckeye had the greatest impact on the Ohio State history of the position he played?

I don’t even know how one would go about defending B Victor on that throw. The one where he is running down the sideline and the QB throws the jumpball short and to the inside shoulder after the DB turns upfield.

BRIAN HARTLINE'S HANDS-ON APPROACH TO COACHING, NFL EXPERIENCE RESONATING WITH OHIO STATE WIDE RECEIVERS

95803_h.jpg


In just one month as Ohio State’s interim wide receivers coach, Brian Hartline has already made a big impression on the players he is now responsible for coaching.

Ohio State’s three fifth-year senior wide receiver captains met with the media on Tuesday, and all of them had good things to say about what Hartline has brought to their position group so far.

“Everyone loves Coach Hartline,” Parris Campbell said. “He’s a very great coach. He’s very knowledgeable of the game.”

In the brief glimpses of practice that were open to the media during fall camp, Hartline’s energy and his hands-on approach to coaching were evident, and that has resonated with the Buckeyes’ wide receivers.

“He’s very energetic, and hands-on,” said Terry McLaurin. “He’s always running around, always critiquing everybody, coaching everybody up, whether you’re a starter or you’re a walk-on. So he really brings a lot to our room, and we’re happy to have him.”

It helps that approach resonate that Hartline is a former Ohio State wide receiver himself – so he can relate to the position that all of his players are currently in – and that he played for seven seasons in the NFL, where Campbell, McLaurin and Johnnie Dixon all hope to be next year and other Ohio State wide receivers hope to be in the future.

“Since he’s been at OSU, since he’s done what I’ve done, if he wants me to do something, if he tells me something that I need to do, he can go on the field and actually show me and I can see what it looks like,” Campbell said. “So it’s great. And for him to have skills, and for him to dominate at the next level, obviously, it’s easy to listen to a guy like that.”

Interim head coach Ryan Day is also impressed with what he’s seen from Hartline in his first month on the job.

“Brian's, on short notice, has stepped in and brought a lot of energy,” Day said Monday. “He's got great experience. He's sat in their seats. He's played wide receiver at Ohio State, he's played in the NFL, so he has great experience that he can obviously relay to those guys. He's done a great job so far.”

I think they know that they've been under-coached and appreciate what he can add. The whole group is very athletic, but they seem to realize that they need more/better technique. I'm fired up to see what this group, which no longer needs a stupid nickname like Zone 6, will do this season.

The remember back in 1984-1986 you threw the ball downfield to Chris Carter and you knew he was going to come down with it even in a crowd. Nobody since has came close to that ability. Over the past several years it just seemed like the receivers dropped a lot of passes that hit them in the hands. I'd like to see this group earn the nickname "the good hands people".

Ohio State receivers have smooth transition with Brian Hartline

Players losing their position coach on the eve of training camp would seem to be a recipe for disaster.

If that position is wide receiver, where the prima donna stereotype persists, the loss could even be magnified.

As you may have heard, Zach Smith is no longer the Ohio State wide receivers coach. As ugly as the story surrounding his departure has been, all signs are that Buckeyes receivers have weathered the process smoothly.

It helps that Smith’s replacement, Brian Hartline, was with the program last year in a background role and is a former Buckeyes and NFL receiver.

“Brian, on short notice, has stepped in and brought a lot of energy,” acting head coach Ryan Day said. “He’s got great experience. He’s sat in their seats. He’s played wide receiver at Ohio State, he’s played in the NFL. So he has great experience that he can obviously relay to those guys. He’s done a great job so far.”

Hartline, 31, is a Canton native who helped Ohio State reach consecutive national championship games in 2006 and ’07. He then played seven years in the NFL, six with Miami and his final season with the Browns.

“He’s a really hands-on coach, really fiery,” senior receiver Terry McLaurin said. “He won’t accept anything less than our best — that goes from me down to our freshmen. He’s played the game and been in our shoes, and that’s encouraging to us as players because he has seen the game from our perspective. That’s new for us.”
