USF’s Brian Hartline Expected to Hire Tim Beck as Offensive Coordinator
Hartline is juggling playoff duties at Ohio State with early staff building in Tampa.
Overview
- CBS Sports reporters Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer report USF is working toward a deal to make former Coastal Carolina head coach Tim Beck its offensive coordinator.
- The move has not been publicly finalized, but multiple outlets describe Beck’s hire as expected.
- Beck was dismissed by Coastal Carolina after a 6-7 season and previously served as an offensive coordinator at Nebraska, Ohio State, Texas, and NC State.
- Hartline plans to remain Ohio State’s offensive coordinator through the College Football Playoff even as he constructs his first staff in Tampa.
- The potential hire would reunite coaches with shared Ohio State ties, reflecting Hartline’s early emphasis on familiarity in building the Bulls’ staff.
