Why did Dan accuse Brian Hartline of being un‑American after USF’s win over Army?
You are listening to the Dan Levatar Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports app, now live in all fifty states.
On a weekend when Ben Johnson went for it in the second quarter, fourth and short from his own 21-yard line, and when the Saints went for it with a two-point conversion in overtime, I thought the ballsiest coaching move in the entire weekend was executed by this guy. Uh he's only in his second game. He's new to head coaching. He's a former Dolphin receiver. And while I was really proud of his courage, I also thought It was deeply un-American what he did to our armed services with his decision making in that game. So I'm gonna get set it up for you guys again here as Brian Hartline joins us, the coach of USF. It's fourth and five or six. He's got about a 50-plus-yard field goal, and he's got a grammatica that he trusts, one of the best kickers in the country.
He can tie the game by going for a field goal. He says bleep it with 20 seconds left. throwing the ball as far as I can and I'm going for it one play for the game. Uh Brian, thank you for joining us. Congratulations. And then afterward, our soldiers are servicemen. Instead of thank you for your the service, go ahead and sing the alma mater on the field like you always do while you're crying and stunned because you didn't expect Brian Hartline to do any of that. So uh Brian, thank you for joining us and congratulations. You're deeply un American.
Yeah, I appreciate the uh the opportunity to join you guys. Dan always been a big fan. He'd be down in Miami, so uh glad to be on the show. Uh
thank you, sir. Take me through that though. Were you thinking of kicking the field goal? Because Grammatica's got that range, right?
Yeah, frankly, I didn't. I mean, I I to uh to me I I was not comfortable with leaving it you know, with that kind of length. I I do trust Grammatica. They do a great he does a great job and and that was a good spot. But we were rolling. I trusted the guys. And frankly, uh, you know, we had a little no play the play before and they they just kind of showed us cover zero. And then we know I thought there's no way in heck they would do it again. Uh so we came up with the the play the best play we thought we for the situation and just alerted the potential go ball to the field. Uh if they were to pop couple cover zero on us again and if they did, we'll win the game. And that's kind of was the end of the conversation and uh those boys executed at a high level.
How does it work with your nerves in that situation?
Yeah, frankly, I I I was not nervous. And uh but it it all came crashing down probably after the actual play. Uh but we were I was locked in, we were locked in, players were locked in, a lot of confidence. Uh Frankly, the last five minutes, uh, in in you know, in hindsight, uh that's probably the most uh you know, the biggest part of why I was so proud of the guys. They didn't flinch, they didn't bat an eye and executed a high level when it all mattered.
Were you still on the field when they were singing the alma mater stunned on the field? And did you feel bad uh for doing that to our servicemen?
Uh I was on the field. Uh I did not feel bad. I think that uh, you know, frankly, you know, we had a lot of respect going into that game. I think our challenge uh was to go up against probably the most disciplined team in the country, uh regardless of talent. It's the most disciplined team in the country, and we were more disciplined than them. I mean, they had more penalties than us, they had turnovers, we did not. And so uh a lot of pride uh in the way we operated. operate and how we and how we executed and and how our discipline really uh allowed us to uh oversee the uh probably the most disciplined team in the country.
Coach, what's been harder than you thought it would be, uh, in the early part of your head coaching career?
You know, I think uh the ignorance of understanding how many moving parts there is and how much you're responsible for to be transparent. I mean, when you're in your world and you're in your tunnel as a position coach or even as a coordinator, you don't see the the the vast array of of every detail from travel to
