    Well Don... getting a job for $8-10 million a year at a place with Florida's resources would not be a hard sell to just about anyone.
    Not saying your guy will leave, but nothing would surprise me due to the numbers now in play...

    LSU fired Kelly and there is a lot of speculation that they go after Kiffin.

    I’m still optimistic for the Gators but worry about LSU.

    Rumor is Gators offered 13.5 million guaranteed for six years.

    Scott, if they wave that kind of money at Hartline, he will be hitting the internet researching Gainesville luxury homes and the best sun tan lotion for UV protection. His ability to recruit NFL ready receivers is off the charts.

    While there is no doubt that Hartline loves it at Ohio State and as Bobda noted is the best recruiter out there, esp for WR. But how long will he be happy as a OCoord at OSU when he's being offered big time jobs with big time money? If it were a situation where Ryan Day was in his 70's and Hartline was the coach in waiting, like Jimbo was for Bowden at FSU, then sure he probably not interested in Florida or LSU or any other place.

    But Day is relatively young and seems to be a fixture in Columbus and settling in for a long run.
