That is a surprising choice.
In Florida - he has to recruit against Miami, FSU, and UF.
Border States - recruit against University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, and Auburn.
Might be a career suicide mission.
He has been recruiting against those places already.
Terms of Hartline’s USF contract have not been released, but I am guessing $6 million a year with a $24 million buyout so even if he fails, he wins!
