OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

lol. sadly, not this time. although I do contend his job is made infinitely easier by Jeremiah Smith.....and if, god forbid, he's still here next year we'll have a better idea of how much value he actually brings. If he does stick around another year without Mr. Smith, I'd like him to keep that direct snap on 4th and 1 back up his ass where it came from.
Art Smith's hire was head scratcher for me based on his style of coaching and experience in the pros

Me neither. Apparently somebody does that this is a thing. Probably goes toward a older crowd.
I'm a member of the older crowd and used to watch them intermittently, but they just don't add any value with all the contrived banter and vapid "observations".

It was inevitable that I ask why Fox would put him on air. They had a fairly decent product and decided to FAFO. The above is exactly how I reconciled it.

The networks’ (ESPN & FOX) poor decisions regarding on-air talent have directly impacted what I do before games. I used to do Game Day and then did Fox up until they had what’s his face… now I just turn on the game a couple of minutes before the kick. I get better analysis on YouTube and here.

I suspect I’m not the only one who has that or a similar story.

If Fox wants better ratings for Big Noon, make the name Big Evening and move the games to 7:30 with only Big 10 match games.

Have mundane games like OSU vs Maryland at noon.

They will get the ratings they want. The current thing is not working.

I think the standard is Bo and Isaiah last year. They started or played a lot but struggled to pass block and break big runs. Clearly, though, they put in the work and were trusted. Hell, Boyd and CHJr are already getting a ton of snaps, so there’s no question Bey would be out there if they thought he was ready.
But Captain Buckeye wants an oompa loompa nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic so everyone will stfu, but hopefully you are because that dryness brings me joy.

I don't watch any pregame shows.

So the standard is the best college football player to ever play for Ohio State outside of maybe Orlando Pace and Archie.

Barstool was Fox's response to Pat McAfee.

Barstool's trolling bro humor plays well in online communities, but not on mainstream tv.

McAfee is bro humor but built more for mainstream audiences.

I think it just didn't work for Fox.

Portnoy's only thing he seems to have is trolling Day and OSU, which probably pissed off OSU, and they flexed some muscle. Protecting one's image this day and age is huge.

It over all probably wasn't landing and it was a easy business decision for Fox.

Just my guess.

1000%. And I can admit I didn't realize most of those things until you said them.

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic so everyone will stfu, but hopefully you are because that dryness brings me joy.

RE: #2 who's going to take over

Marvin didn't explode on the scene until the Rose Bowl, it's a long season!

I also keep thinking about how Bo Jackson didn't get 1 carry against Texas last year - you never know how these things will go.

Yep, a lot of time left for guys to step up. I think Boyd will have a breakout game later in the season.
