People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

This is a late gripe

I was on 70 in the fall, driving in my lane and going the speed limit. Dude in front of me slams on the brakes because he missed his exit. I got rear-ended. Dude drove off into the sunset like he didn't even know what happened. But I know he did.. he ended up passing the exit. I'll see you in hell motherfucker
I once got bumped hard enough to bend my back bumper by a kid that was merging into the left turn lane. The light was red and I was that truck right where the left turn lane merges left and it was a tight fit. I know that he knew that he hit me but his arrow turned green at exactly the right moment and he got away. It wasn't major damage but it hit hard enoguh that he had to know that he'd hit me.

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

Jaguars OC Grant Udinski withdraws from the Browns head coaching search​



The bold is from the headline of the article I linked. Speculation is he was one of the favorites for the position. Smart young man to stay away from this dumpster fire. Temu Jimmuh makes the Raiders look like a competent organization.
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Tyler Huntley was named a pro-bowler in a year he attempted 112 passes. The "pro-bowler" title has been a joke for years.

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

A few Scarlet & Game articles on Arthur Smith:

What kind of offensive stats Ohio State can put up under Arthur Smith

Now that Smith is in Columbus, the Ohio State Buckeyes have their full coaching staff. What kind of offensive statistics should fans expect heading into next season? Will they still be able to chuck it down the field to Jeremiah Smith? Or is Bo Jackson now the focal point of the offense?

What offensive stats to expect from the Ohio State football team

This past season, the Buckeyes were far from elite offensively. They were the 26th-best total offense in the country. What made them so dangerous was the defense. With Smith calling plays, Jackson and the running game can expect an increase in rushing opportunities.

Ohio State was not even in the top 70 when it came to rushing yards per game, averaging just over 155 yards per contest. Expect that number to go up. Smith is good at scheming up running plays, even for players who aren't just in the backfield. Expect Ohio State to get more creative in that regard.

From a passing game standpoint, Smith will not abandon the pass. He understands that Smith is his best player. Expect Julian Sayin to put up even better numbers than he did a year ago. Another year of development should help both him and Smith be Heisman contenders again.

Ohio State should be a top 10 offense when things are all said and done next year. Smith has called plays before, and that counts for something. Brian Hartline was a first-time play-caller, and it showed. That experience alone should keep the Buckeyes with a powerful offense.


Newest Ohio State hire could have massive NIL impact for Buckeyes

Arthur Smith's nepotistic ties to FedEx may be the greatest asset he brings to his Ohio State Buckeyes offensive coordinator job in Columbus. That wasn't the most satisfying sentence for most to read, but it's one OSU fans are probably okay with, given the potential ROI.

Ohio State Buckeyes On SI's Nick Pedone believes Smith's hiring could bring with it the financial spending power of his late father's "multinational conglomerate holding company specializing in transportation, e-commerce, and business services."

"While it’s wildly unfair to suggest that the Buckeyes hired Smith because of his late father’s wealth, it certainly will not hurt Ohio State to have that close of connections with one of the richest men in the country's history," Pedone wrote.

"Ohio State has a robust NIL program already. It’s partly how the team has been able to stockpile talent like Smith and Sayin. But this is an ecosystem that isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s continuing to expand with college football player salaries increasing rapidly."

Money may be more important than coaching in College Football

It's getting to the point where money is more important than coaching. It makes you wonder if that was always the case, with the SEC building its reputation with guys who oftentimes couldn't hack it in other conferences or leagues. Let's not forget Nick Saban wasn't a legend with the Michigan State Spartans or the Miami Dolphins in the NFL.

Former Ohio State linebacker Joshua Perry loves the hiring of Arthur Smith

While speaking on Bishop & Friends on 97.1 the Fan, Perry explained why he liked the hiring of Smith for Day and the Buckeyes.

"This is a guy who is known for aggressive run schemes and is known for great play-action passing. And I think it complements what Ryan Day wants to do in his own philosophy, where he's great in the pass game."

Perry believes that there will be an improvement in the run game, which is something Day doesn't always emphasize in the offense. He doesn't believe that will come at the expense of the pass game, which has been the backbone of the Buckeyes for the last five years or so.

Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin are the two best offensive players Ohio State will have next season. Smith has to make sure he keeps those guys engaged in the offense. They both should be better than they were this past year, especially Sayin. Smith is already a dangerous player.

At least Smith has called plays before, which is not something Hartline had experience with prior to this past season.
