I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but the Squeelers scored 24 TDs in like 2022. They scored 41 in 2025. With a shitty OL, a mental WR, no RBs, and a QB who's 137 years old.

If that dude can take an offense that was as bad as Shittsburgh's offense was two years ago and nearly double their scoring output, he's a damn good OC.

Not to mention, he got Ryan freaking Tannehill into the Pro Bowl. He will have more talent at Ohio State than he had in Shittsburgh or Atlanta.

You can let the numbers lie to you all you want. If you watched that Steelers offense and came away thinking it was even remotely impressive then I don't know how to help you. A college football offense in 2026 should not be centered around 83 different TEs. Especially one with Jeremiah Smith.

The guy had Bijan Robinson and couldn't figure it out. He's a fucking clown.

If it is, it would be awesome if Smith held a press conference to say he was improperly contacted by xyz university and play a recording of the phone call.

It'd be funny as hell if he did it Miami as you know they tried the last 2 years but it's better for kids not to burn agents as it's not in their interest

First time I think I have ever agreed with him.

Agreed. I had Rome fatigue after a few years but he is much more listenable now.

I'll let Yahbot draft another pack of slappys and cut three All Stars in the first week.

I have some hope

Y'all deluding yourselves into a wait and see approach are gonna need to ask permission at the pitch fork store. This is a terrible hire and is nothing like Patricia. He is terrible and has been terrible at every stop.

You know how we hired Tim Beck and Nebraska fan came over and told us we were in trouble and everyone was like "No, trust the coaches. He keeps getting hired so he must be ok"? And you know how we know better now but we're all still flummoxed at how Tim Beck is still getting work? Arthur Smith is worse than Tim Beck.

Most said the same things about Patricia too… and no it wasn’t just that Patricia was an asshole. Everyone said his defenses sucked and he was riding Bills coattails.

That turned out well so let’s see here too

Won 6 out of 7 and beat Tampa 8-5 tonight....

Remember When: Ohio State Shuts Out USC, 33-0, For Its First-Ever West Coast Win​

“It was, to an Ohio stater, one of the most remarkable and soul-satisfying games a scarlet eleven ever has played.”– Columbus Dispatch sports editor Russ Needham on Ohio State’s 33-0 win over USC in 1941

Traveling to the West Coast has become an annual part of the Ohio State football season since the latest round of Big Ten expansion, but it used to be a far more rare occurrence.

When Ohio State traveled to Southern California for the second game of the 1941 season, it was just the third time in the 50-year history of Ohio State football that the Buckeyes played in the Pacific Time Zone. The first two trips didn’t go well for the scarlet and gray; Ohio State was shut out 28-0 in the 1921 Rose Bowl, then lost 13-12 in its first-ever game against USC in Los Angeles in 1937.

The Buckeyes’ second trip to the L.A. Coliseum, however, went far better than the first.

Although Ohio State was coming off a 12-7 win over Missouri in Paul Brown’s first game as head coach, beating USC was expected to be a tougher test for the Buckeyes. After all, just getting to Los Angeles was a three-day endeavor for the Buckeyes in those days; they left Columbus by train on Wednesday, stopping in Chicago to practice that day and in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to practice on Thursday before arriving in Los Angeles on Friday.

The game got off to a precarious start for the Buckeyes when Ohio State’s Tom Kinkade lost a fumble that USC recovered at Ohio State’s 49-yard line on the Buckeyes’ opening drive, but Ohio State’s defense stood stout to force a punt. USC got an even shorter field for its second possession after a low, wobbly punt by Ohio State’s John Hallabrin went out of bounds at the 26-yard line, but the Buckeyes made a fourth-down stop on a fake reverse to force a turnover on downs.

Ohio State drove 83 yards down the field on its third possession, with Jack Graf running for a 2-yard touchdown that was set up by a run by future Heisman Trophy winner Les Horvath, a backup halfback for Ohio State at the time. Dick Fisher scampered for 46 yards on a fake punt run on Ohio State’s fourth possession, setting up a 17-yard touchdown run by Charlie Anderson to put the Buckeyes up 13-0 before the end of the first quarter.

USC got another short field in the second quarter when it blocked a Hallabrin punt, but Kinkade intercepted a pass by USC’s Mickey Anderson in the end zone. The Buckeyes drove the ball 80 yards down the field, with Fisher rushing for a touchdown, to make it 20-0 before halftime.

Bob Shaw made a leaping catch on a pass from Graf and turned it into a 48-yard touchdown on Ohio State’s second possession of the third quarter to extend the Buckeyes’ lead to 27-0. After a fumble by Graf on Ohio State’s next series, Fisher intercepted a pass by USC’s Bobby Robertson. The Buckeyes drove from their 13-yard line all the way down the field on their subsequent possession, with Fisher gaining 10 yards on another fake punt and eventually finishing the drive with his second touchdown run of the game to make it 33-0.

He got Ryan Tannehill into the Pro Bowl.

13 personnel will be our light package.

Hopefully it was Tomlin that was holding the Steelers offense back, his last 4 coordinators have all been mediocre and consistently used ultra-conservative game plans.

The Steelers offensive personnel was terribad the past two seasons. Smith managed to improve them both years.

Anybody have the phone number to Tennessee fan? It's probably not too late to get tips on what they did for the Schiano hire.

Bestbuck36 said:

If he does that and Day calls the plays, then I'm fully on board.

Now this is only if we get toss sweep to the boundary in 13 personnel the fuck outta the playbook.

Hiring an OC that can essentially buy his players in the age of NIL is actually brilliant. No idea if the product on the field will actually work, but it’s a hell of an idea.

None of those guys are TEs. He loves TEs more than Michigan loves entitled douchebags. He loves TEs more than Dabo thinks Jesus loves Dabo. He loves TEs more than I hate this Arthur Smith hire.

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.
