People were acting like this with Patricia. Let's give him a chance. If there is a problem, Day won't let it fester.

What a fucking disaster. I would rather camp outside this weekend during this expected blizzard. Without a tent. If doing that could reverse this decision I would genuinely think about it.

Some noteworthy Arthur Smith moments in Atlanta.

1). Was entirely responsible (along with GM) and trying to lure Deshaun Watson from Houston. The deal was done, but Cleveland swooped in the last minute, offered an additional first round draft pick and fully guaranteed his contract.

2). As such immediately pissed off franchise icon, Matt Ryan, and had him request a trade.

3). Drafted Desmond Ridder

4). Started Desmond Ridder

5). One time in an important football game against Tampa, the falcons had it on fourth down on the opponents 2 yard line. Rather than hand the ball to Tyler Algier or Bijan Robinson, he ran a jet sweep to a tight end, who then threw to another tight end, and the pass was incomplete and we lost by 4. Neither the passer nor the receiver on that particular play was Kyle Pitts.

I won't. His history of ruining offenses is long and storied. How he still gets ANY work in football is mind boggling, let alone at the coordinator level.

Somehow Jonnu Smith has entered the transfer portal.

Oh wait, maybe he'll see J. Smith on the depth chart and think it's Jonnu. Ok, this could work.

Trust the coach!

Arthur Smith is a fucking moron. I would rather have Parker Flemming back at special teams. Fuck, I'd rather have him as OC. I'd rather have Joe Bauserman at QB. I'd rather have Urban's bff coaching LBs again. This is an absolutely collosal mistake. For Jeremiah's last season? What a massive disappointment. This ruined my weekend.

Just sayin': This looks like a one woman Atlanta Falcons version of SEC Shorts......

I’m just happy it’s someone with experience who can run their side of the ball. Hartline wasn’t bad, but had limited experience and arguably vision. Also, Smith is unlikely to take a college HC job, so won’t leave at the worst time.

Those silver pants are beautiful

I am outraged.

Anyone know anything about him?

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.

I agree, but are you referring to something specific?

At least this guy is wasting away on their bench.

(I’ll ignore that at least he’s on winning team. Screw him.)

Just sayin': Yeah, his best year is still his Sophomore season at Ohio State; he's actually regressed at scUM.....

Season Averages

I am looking at it like this:

-Day’s playbook.
-Will call plays so Day can be CEO again.
-Not likely to leave five days before conference title game.
-May be run heavy but let’s not pretend he didn’t have WR’s put up good numbers even with the shitty QB’s he was saddled with in the NFL.
-To the run heavy thing…I’d be happy to see some tweaks to OSU’s run game especially in the redzone and I’m thinking so is Day.

Lastly, Day gets the benefit of the doubt from me. And I’m hardcore Lunatic Fringe. But one area Day has owned is coaching hires.

At least you'd think this makes Day let go of his stranglehold on the offense.

Are you fucking serious? This is horrendous.

Ohio State football program may have wasted a boatload of NIL money on this transfer

Based on reports coming out of training camp, the Buckeyes may have paid a lot of money to land a very expensive third-string player.

scarletandgame.com

Ohio State paid over $1 million to bring in Ethan Onianwa from Rice. He was expected to be the starting left tackle this season after Ohio State lost four starters on the offensive line.

Just sayin': Obviously not all transfer portal pick ups work out. I'll say unless he really stands out at the Senior Bowl he may not even be drafted in the 2026 NFL draft; however, I did find one mock drat that lists him as a 7th rounder:

I made a joke about him designing a flea flicker to the 4th tackle lined up as tightend I feel responsible lol.
