OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

I think promoting Hartline was a mistake - he wasn’t a very good OC, the duel responsibilities made him a worse WR coach, and the entire point was to keep him around longer and he left after one year anyway.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the backup receivers seemed ill prepared compared to his previous years. It wasn’t lack of talent.

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Re: His father is FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith.

Just sayin': I'll go out on a limb here and say he didn't accept the Ohio State job because of the money and/or it wasn't because he couldn't get a job somewhere in the NFL. He legitimately wanted to be here and that is definitely a positive.
SIAP, just catching up after a couple of days dooms-day prepping here in NC.

I think I saw that he has a young family (similar to Matt P). If this works out, this could be long term. I know nothing really about this guy. Ultimately, I see him as being brought in to run Ryan Day’s offense and add a strong(er) run game back ground à la Chip. Not to say they are / are not on the same level… we’ll see… but the last time Ryan brought in an OC who is mature and known for a solid run game it worked out, right until he took an NFL gig.

Holding judgment for now, but I can see how the pieces fit together.

It's hard to believe a National Championship-winning Head Coach of a college football team that wants to attract players who dream of playing in the NFL would dare to higher former successful coordinators at the NFL level and now make them the Head Coaches of their respective sides of the ball at the collegiate level.


Sarcasm font.
Successful coordinators, or Arthur Smith?
