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.
