You know what I mean, and you're too smart for this. It's disingenuous. You're saying it as if that means he's good at his job. Certainly every coach on staff must be good, because look......they won a whole division.

Like, come on. You know it was a garbage division. You know the Steelers were not a good football team this year. You know the strength of the Steelers is the defense. Just saying "Hey HE won the division" isn't intellectually honest.....because 1) HE didn't win it, the team as a whole did, and 2) that was the worst division in the sport by a long shot. Don't quote me on this, because I don't know the exact scenarios....but at one point with like 4 or 5 games left, I read that they could have finished 8-9 and still won the division. Just saying "they won the division" is intentionally hiding how not good of a team they were. They weren't BAD, they were just not good.

This is outside the discussion of if Smith is a good hire or not. I just need to know that you know this, for my own mental well being.


I also don't think I posted any stats about him.....so I don't think I cherry picked any. I think I just said shit like he loves TEs and couldn't figure out how to have success with Bijan Robinson. But if I cherry picked something I'll admit to it, if your mental well being is on the line.

My mental well being is fine, and yours should be too. We root for the same time, but have differing views on this hire. And that's OK.
The AFC North was a terrible division, but 1 team had to win it. Arthur Smith was the OC of the team that won. Nothing about that is misleading, it is a fact. Of course the team won it as a whole, we all know that. You're trying to be petty and act like I'm meaning he won it on his own. Of course he didn't, but he led the offense which scored points, which led them to winning the division, again another fact. You keep ignoring the fact that the teams he had were not very talented(he also doesn't use TEs as much as you say, though he under utilized Bijan), and were quite limited, idk what else to tell you and I'm sorry if that doesn't help your well being.
Everyone has an opinion of a hire until the games are played, and the truth is shown. OSU fans questioned: Hartline, Day, LJsr, and Kelly to name a few, but yet those same fans loved the Coombs hire for DC. We literally will not know a thing until games are played.

I'm not sure what you're looking for me to tell you. I refuse to spend an off season complaining about the hire, as opposed to seeing the positives in it. There are countless other teams who would love to be in our fan position. I have buddies who are fans of FSU, Purdue, Texas, South Carolina, UVA, VA Tech, NC State, etc and all would love to be in our position, and Smith would be considered a steal to them.

Yeah, you mighta been two-timed....wife and daughter 'forced' me to buy a vehicle with those cameras to prevent the 'backing into traffic' stuff, as well as indicators that someone is in the left lane passing me, etc etc etc. OK, I'm not smart enough to be able to process all this information, but have started to rely on those cameras, rather than the look-over-the-shoulder glance. But also drive the country roads to the golf club, and see many to the 'California stop', with maybe a tap of the brakes then barrel through the intersection. PS, secretary asked me how I got to work...told her, and then she said that the farm workers generally don't even slow down on those back roads. Caused me to pause a bit, and look both ways to see if the oncoming car is actually slowing... and when there's the tully fog, we have idiots that don't put on their lights. Just be safe out there....

If you want to admit you misled by cherry picking stats because you didn't like the hire

Saw a write-up somewhere, that opined the tOSU might win four against PSU. That might be a stretch, but that's why they play the games/matches. Am encouraged to see the aura of positive with the singlet guys. Am going out on a limb here, but gotta think that the Buckeyes are pointing toward Penn St.....hope we're all healthy.

It's possible, sucks Cannon got hurt because that would've at least tightened up the score. I usually write up a prediction by weight for this dual but I'm skipping it this year. We could get blown out on the road and lose toss up matches worse case scenario, or we could win the tight ones or where we're favored and only lose by 10-15 points best case scenario. Of course I hope we give them a run and pull off the upset, but it's just not going to happen.

I would guess that Day, Bjork, & Co. had a fairly in-depth interview(s) with him and asked that he explain his thoughts on the differences between his TN and ATL/Pitt offenses. Presumably, he answered to their satisfaction and was able to express how he thought he’d fit into the current team structure and culture. I would hope that this wasn’t a less than diligent hire and we just have to trust them, not that we can do anything about it one way or another.
