per The Joplin Globe:
So what’s next for Hardin?
Remember, Hardin has never been charged with a crime. But with his reputation tarnished by the scandal, Hardin may not have many options at the NCAA Division I level.
One possibility would be for Hardin to follow Jerry Kill to Rutgers. A former Webb City coach, Kill retired as Minnesota’s head coach in October, but then accepted the offensive coordinator position at Rutgers in December. With the familiarity between the two, a move to New Jersey seems possible if Kill could convince the school to give Hardin a shot.
Perhaps a fresh start at Missouri Southern or Pittsburg State could be in Hardin’s future. If he did decide to move home, Hardin would have friends, family and former coaches at Webb City as a support system.
Of course, Hardin could take the community college route, too.
Whether you believe Hardin is guilty of committing a crime or you feel he’s been wrongly accused, that’s up to you to decide. But I think we can all agree it will be interesting to see where Hardin ends up.
And when he arrives at his next destination, wherever that may be, Hardin will attempt to put the scandal behind him for good as he attempts to move on with his life.
Will he get another chance to play college football? And if so, where? The answers to those questions aren’t easy ones to predict.
For now, all we can do is wait and see.
