OSU’s Brian Hartline says he could beat Mike Hart in fight, Hart claps back

Get him! #GoBlue

Well, this is awkward.

Former Michigan left tackle Taylor Lewan and former Nebraska linebacker Will Compton took their “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast on the road to Ohio State where they sat down with newly-minted offensive coordinator and continuing wide receivers coach Brian Hartline.

As usual, the duo wandered off topic, noting there’s another coach Hart in the Big Ten, Michigan running backs coach Mike Hart. After Hartline acknowledged that simple fact, the duo asked Hartline if he could beat Hart in a fight, to which he replied, yes, he could take any offensive coordinator-type in a fight.

Watch the clip below.

But Hart, the all-time leading rusher for the Wolverines before he became a coach with his alma mater in 2021, wasn’t taking that lying down.

While Hart didn’t tag Hartline or anything like that, he did have something of a response on Twitter.

Perfect. And scathing.

Hartline does have bragging rights as a player vs. Hart, winning head-to-head every year he was a Buckeye wide receiver, whereas Hart lost every contest as a student-athlete. Hartline as a coach is 3-2 vs. Michigan, but is 2-2 as an on-field coach. Hart is 2-0 as a coach at Michigan vs. Ohio State.
