Jones is a busy man, as this is not his only job. He also works as an analyst for CBS Sports, and he will be doing work for them this Fall. In addition to that, he has a podcast that he records locally in Ohio with former Ohio State running back Beanie Wells and sports director Dave Holmes.

This will be a new endeavor for Jones, as he doesn't have any previous coaching experience. However, as a quarterback, he has a lot of knowledge about offenses. He should be able to help some high school students learn how to process the offense better.

Jones is the QB Coach for the Wreckers, so he will be in charge of teaching the quarterbacks how to process information. Jones was able to execute an Ohio State offense to the highest level, so that will be invaluable experience for those high school kids to have.

WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

43 / 341 / 9

Should Jeremiah Smith post these numbers (he will) in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, he will be Ohio State’s career record-holder in all three categories.

Smith needs 43 receptions to break Emeka Egbuka’s receptions record, 341 yards to break Michael Jenkins’ receiving yards record, and nine touchdowns to break Chris Olave’s touchdowns record.
So, second game?

Edit: I love this board. The sarcasm is palpable

  • Day said Brandon Inniss, Phillip Bell and Devin McCuin will be Ohio State’s punt returners against Ball State. If things keep trending in the right direction, “Legend Bey will take the first kickoff back.”
  • When asked about Bey returning kicks and earning trust back from the coaches, Day said Bey controlled the response and “the response since then has been much better.” Day said Bey has habits he still needs to improve on and has lots to learn about playing the running back at the college level. “It’s not all been perfect but I also think we see the explosiveness when the ball is in his hands.”
  • Day said Bey’s primary responsibility is to take care of the football against Ball State on Saturday. Day said Ohio State’s coaches trust him to take care of the football and let his training kick in and natural instincts take over.

NBA announces punishments for LA Clippers after Kawhi probe

The NBA on Wednesday announced severe punishments for the LA Clippers -- including the loss of five future first-round draft picks, a fine of $30 million and a yearlong suspension of owner Steve Ballmer -- for violating salary cap circumvention rules in a case involving star Kawhi Leonard.

In a statement, the NBA said a near-yearlong investigation "found a pattern of misconduct and multiple significant rules violations by the Clippers organization, a prior offender of the salary cap circumvention rules."

As a result, the Clippers must forfeit first-round draft picks in 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032 and 2033. In addition to the $30 million fine, Ballmer is suspended from all league and team activities for one year "for "knowingly seeking to help Mr. Leonard obtain off-court income opportunities," among other issues. President of business operations Gillian Zucker is suspended without pay for one year. And president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank is suspended without pay for six months.

Lane Kiffin (HC LSU)

Agent of chaos: Lane Kiffin fed Dabo Swinney intel, egged him on to publicly attack Ole Miss over tampering

An excerpt from upcoming book "Lane Being Lane: The Story of Lane Kiffin, College Football's Agent of Chaos"​

dabolanesplice.png


Adapted from Lane Being Lane: The Story of Lane Kiffin, College Football's Agent of Chaos by John Talty to be published by Harper, Sept. 15, 2026. The first book on the most polarizing coach in college sports, Louisiana State University football coach Lane Kiffin, charts his inexorable rise and his impact on the game, as he left a trail of winning teams, bad feelings, and controversy in his wake.

Lane Kiffin came off like a man who badly wanted revenge on Ole Miss, but everywhere he turned he was rebuffed. Eventually, he found a target: Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney.

Swinney had just lost talented Cal transfer linebacker Luke Ferrelli to Ole Miss despite his signing with the Tigers and even going to classes on Clemson's campus. Ferrelli, the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, took a visit to Ole Miss before signing with Clemson, but the Rebels didn't have a spot available for him.

"This is a whole other level of tampering," Swinney said in January. "It's total hypocrisy…We have a broken system, and if there are no consequences for tampering, then we have no rules and we have no governance."

Kiffin even passed along information, according to multiple sources, to help Swinney in his crusade against Golding and Ole Miss. Clemson offensive line coach Matt Luke, the former Ole Miss head coach, called his alma mater to give it a heads-up on what Kiffin had helped convince Swinney to do.

Ole Miss officials were furious, not only because they now had to deal with another national controversy once Swinney went public with the allegations, but over Kiffin's hypocrisy.

"Dabo's one of the main guys when [Lane] was at Ole Miss he would always say that guy's a fraud and I don't like that," says a high-ranking Ole Miss official. "And of course, he's feeding him all this stuff."

Says another Ole Miss source, "He can't handle Ole Miss being successful. Pete (Golding) said, 'They better be careful I know where every body is buried.'"
