So much garbage content on that platform these days. People consume that shit, allow it to confirm what they already believe about certain people, and then ignore it entirely when someone calls it out as complete trash. It’s gross and it’s fucking everywhere.

I deleted my account a while back because that shit was constantly pushed into my feed. I just wanted to get sports updates, not have an algorithm try to convert me into a fucking proud boy.

No.

It's content clearly crafted, packaged & targeted to people, like yourself, Dub & whomever else shared or liked that stupid shit; specifically to engineer reaction.

Reaction ranging from the smallest internalization and confirmation of prejudice, all the way to "see, I told you *insert stereotype here* FAFO".

You're being sloooooowy, carefully and systematically conditioned by these clips. A fair amount of them by sources outside of the U.S.

You anyone else reading, need to ask the most important question - "why?"

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

I think the Smith love for using TEs, is quite overblown.
And he had Bijan for his rookie year, its not like he had him for multiple years. Did you expect him to give a rookie RB 300car like he was Derrick Henry? Vrabel/McDaniels barely started Treveyon most of the season and now they're in the SB, using him in a committee, like what Smith did. And you're forgetting his only competent WR was a 2nd year Drake London, so the only other offensive weapons he had were 2 TEs(Pitts and Jonnu Smith). Gotta tell the whole story if you're going to bash the guy.

Login to view embedded media
If he only stays 2-3yrs, that's a massive success. Saban only kept his OCs for the same amount of time and saw success. Plus it keeps new voices in the room. Coordinators aren't staying for 5-10yrs any longer

1 guy who had never called plays and was only a position coach his entire short career, compared to a guy who literally worked his way up the NFL coaching tree, was an NFL HC and OC. And he called plays while being a HC, so 3 different stops he was an actual OC. I'd say that's an upgrade

But he called the plays, so he was the OC in essence.

Funny, those are 3 things I don't loathe either

Sorry for writing so many, but there were a lot of interesting posts to respond to.

I really hope I'm wrong. I just don't see what everyone is talking about with Smith being some guru, especially in the run game.

This is the shit we had to watch for two years. The O-line play went from middling under Canada to incompetent with Smith.

Login to view embedded media
Might it have been the O-line coach? I really hope so. But the drop in execution was very noticeable after Smith came in.

And I don't buy the talent thing. Pickens left and looks like a superstar. Dotson got traded away and immediately turned into a pro-bowler. In 2024 Najee was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on 52% of hand offs. The run game fell off a cliff this year without him setting records for broken tackles.

I'm trying to convince myself it was somehow Tomlin meddling and demanding risk averse gameplans, but I don't think that's the case. More likely Smith just had prime Derrick Henry for a couple years and has coasted on that ever since.

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

mattynokes
The level of arrogance, thinking that HC interviewees are going to want to write essays, take personality tests, and whatever other hoops the Brain Trust of Haslam and Berry want them to do, thinking their HC vacancy is desired is as much incredibly preposterous as it checks out and makes complete sense for the Browns being the Browns.

Not attacking you, but look at all the excuses. Rookie Bijan, rookie London, over the hill Rodgers, average Tannehill. At what point are we going to stop and just say he aint it? You ask who can have success with a 2nd year WR? Seattle would say hi, but they're busy preparing for the SB. With what I'm assuming you'd call "average Sam Darnold" if he were to have played under Arthur Smith. Tons of OCs in the NFL would love to have Buckeye fandom defending their failures just because they got (inexplicably) chosen to be on the Ohio State staff for what I hope is just one year.

Think this a good hire, think it's a bad hire....whatever. But when people defend every single thing he does with this much excuse making (not you....everybody as a whole), it makes me wonder if the defense isn't just hopium. I choose to believe that's exactly what it is, because it's one of the things a massive successful fanbase does best.

edit: ah shit....JSN is in year 3. I'll leave it for transparency.

What’s worse.

Having excuses for when he didn’t do well?

Or ignoring his offenses when they were good?

Can’t do both man. You can’t say “you’re making excuses!” And then say “well the stats aren’t telling the story”

It’s probably somewhere in the middle. When Arthur has good players he does well it seems. When he doesn’t have good players he doesn’t do well. Here at OSU he’s going to have the best players so I bet he’ll do great.

Apparently Penn State must have been able to get here (and obviously Ohio State is here) so I guess they might as well go on and play.....:biggrin2:

There appears to be a lot of cheap seats available (from $5 and up) on the aftermarket websites.....:lol:

Anybody planning on going to the game?

No. He doesn't. Guys who suck at football don't call the plays for top offenses. Guys who suck at football don't succeed so well as OCs that they get over promoted into head coaching gigs. Guys who suck at football don’t take over the moribund Steelers offense and nearly double their touchdown production with absolutely abysmal personnel.
Click to expand...
Guys who suck but are rich get shit they dont deserve every goddamn day. The NFL is fuckin notorious for hiring shitty coaches and people to be HC. Then when they fail, they get another chance at being a HC because other rich failures like that pumpkin pie haircutted freak in Las Vegas are dumb as a box of fuckin rocks.

Idk if this dude sucks or not. Guess we'll see.

Feels like Day is building his staff for his eventual ascension to the NFL tho.

Hopium is all we have. He’s hired. If it’s a failure next year then join the lunatic fringe calling for Days head. If it’s a success then enjoy it.

buckeyebri
To me to say someone is a success or failure in their role is to have established criteria for that determination.

As we discuss Smith, what will the criteria be for determining his success as the OC? Will it be stats for the offense, will it include ability to adjust in game (not sure how that is determined), will the ability to game plan for an opponent be included (knowing what the U’s line will bring), wins/losses, or some sort of combo?

The 8 Power 4 programs who are in college football hell heading into the 2026 offseason

Which programs are in the worst possible situations going into 2026? These 8 are in need of help in a hurry.
www.saturdaydownsouth.com

The 8 Power 4 programs who are in college football hell heading into the 2026 offseason​

I don’t say “hell” lightly. I try not to say it at all, but hey, sometimes, it just fits.

As it pertains to college football, “hell” can’t be confused with purgatory. Some teams exist just fine in purgatory and don’t ever necessarily feel like the situation is dire enough to start throwing around the “H-word.” To be in college football hell, one must understand context. It’s more than just bad vibes. It’s vibes that feel like a certain form of torture is imminent. Whether that’s having an under-performing coach on an insane contract or having a team that can’t seem to get out of its own way, college football hell comes in a variety of forms.

To get out of hell, one can get a breakthrough season or hire the right coach. Indiana was firmly in college football hell for decades, but it hired Curt Cignetti and found a way to replace apathy with dominance. Kentucky was in college football hell the last couple years of the Mark Stoops era, but hiring an offensive-minded, 30-something coach who has dominated the transfer portal has changed the offseason mood in Lexington. Michigan was in college football hell, then Kyle Whittingham bailed the Wolverines out.

Talk to a fan of a team in college football hell, and you’ll probably confirm that notion within the first minute of that conversation. A groan, an exasperated sigh, a Hail Mary plea to the college football gods, etc. You get it. You can smell the desperation on them.

For these 8 Power Conference teams, college football hell is all too real:

Arkansas​

Cincinnati​

Clemson
You had me at “he hired Chad Morris to run his offense.” Ask aforementioned Arkansas or recently hell-departed Auburn (promising new coach) about that. That alone would make Clemson a worthy inclusion of this list, but the Tigers are in hell because the team that Dabo Swinney bragged about breaking Clemson out of its 2020s funk couldn’t even win 8 games. Mind you, that was after it started at No. 1 in the FBS in percentage of returning production. Clemson didn’t pay $60 million to fire Swinney after his disastrous 2025 season. Even worse, he repeatedly defended his ways and all but dared AD Graham Neff to fire him by declaring that he’d find work elsewhere if his time was up. It’s not. Instead, Swinney still has the power to do things like … hire Morris. Clemson fans will defend Swinney to the ends of the earth for those 2 titles, but deep down, they know what everyone else does — the game has passed him by....:nod:

Florida State​

Mississippi State

Nebraska

UNC

Wisconsin

And keep an eye on Tennessee and USC

Just sayin': Dabo would probably sell his soul to the devil for a #11 ranking...... :lol:
