OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Jax and Caleb Downs.

“Get the ball to 4”

Just sayin': The consistent answer to almost any situation in 2026 to the question: What play should we run?

They had to assuage BN27 first.

I heard he chained himself to the fax machine. Wouldn't let the contract go through.

Day basically said "anyone who knows football said it was a homerun hire." Looking forward to what he brings to the table.

Reminds me the time my son’s school principal sent out an email to tell parents not to teach their children math. I truly admired his courage considering that it was in Hong Kong and most of the parents were Chinese.

You would think most of the anti-Arthur Smith people would still be full of crow from the Patricia hire last year.

Or even the Bill Davis hire.

Well golly. With the depth of knowledge and understanding in BP, one would wonder why Day & Co didn't run this hire by us before he pulled the trigger. "in the know" could mean many things. Am not an NFL follower, and tend to watch the players more than the coordinators. Am certain that Day asked his trusted sources about him, and came away satisfied. So, much like Patricia, Buckeye Nation is taking a 'wait and see' stance on this guy. Hopefully (!), he pans out like Patricia did. PS, we'll see how well the D looks, filling the holes left by players moving on. Second and third years are the truth years. Point being, Day felt secure enough with the hire to trust his $10+million salary to this hire, so who are we to judge?
