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.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

I think it’s the North vs North thing. ND isn’t as national as they think they are, and Ohio state has been there a lot recently. The southeast annd southwest US likely ignored the game.

IU brought a lot of viewers as a ‘cool story’ and Miami is a great team to hate. It was a great north south battle (most of the folks here in Florida were cheering for IU). Similar to Ohio State vs Oregon. East vs West. Blue blood vs likeable scrappy new team searching for their first title, but that time the villain won. :shrug:

If it's me, I'm looking at those viewership numbers and also at my sister pro leagues NFL vs MLB and thinking
-this (and a lot of other data) validates the appetite for the sport of college football (not just the heavyweight brands). It is an important distinction.
-I see how the NFL monetizes "the shield" and promotes the entire league by one central promotion of the brand.
-I look at MLB and see the alternative approach and how a few mega brands are separating so far from minor brands that the league is in jeopardy of impaired revenue.

There needs to be a P4 League of some sort and soon. I think this is known and understood in the halls of CFP power and is the reason behind the pushback on the PE capital injection into the B1G sports entertainment entity. They pretty much said in comments that they didn't want to have media rights locked up long term right now ....I read that as wanting to have the optionality to take said rights to a new league.

Given the constraint (NIL isn't going away) I don't see too many other avenues than a P4 "super league" of some sort.
