Skull Session: Ryan Day believes Iowa plays 'complementary football,' Brian Hartline is the best position coach in college football and Tommy Eichenberg is a tank.
Before watching the clip, I didn't need any convincing that Hartline is the best position coach in the sport. Everyone who follows Ohio State football knows that to be true. However, Klatt's explanation of his conversation with Jaxon Smith-Njigba over the summer further solidified my belief in Hartline.
As an Ohio State beat reporter over the last two seasons, I've heard Smith-Njigba speak a dozen times after practices, games and at Big Ten Media Days back in July. He doesn't say much. But when talking about Hartline, Klatt noted "the level of detail" Smith-Njigba used in their conversation was fascinating.
Of course, Klatt could be engaging in hyperbole – I have no idea. But I have no reason to believe why he would. It sounds like Hartline has engrained so much information into Smith-Njigba's head that he can't help but talk about it, especially in one-on-one settings off the record. To me, that's the mark of a good football coach. Hartline's players learn and retain information and apply it to their games at an exceptional rate, which has proven wonders for Ohio State. Buckeye Nation needs to protect this man at all costs.There isn't enough that can be said about Tommy Eichenberg's transformation under Jim Knowles. The dude is moving fast, playing downhill and making plays on the Ohio State defense.
