OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)


This tweet is mind numbingly stupid. We were already elite last year offensively. So bringing in a guy who sucked donkey balls in the NFL is what's going to take us to the "next level"? It'd be one thing if we were average...........we were THE level. There already isn't a next one to get to. Now that we've got 17 TE McGee over here, NOW we're going to be good? Fuck off.

:lol:

I’m not as convinced as you are about his hiring being a bad one, but there is a nice ring to “17 TE McGee”.

Whether I'm right or wrong, that tweet was just stupid. Unless he's an OL super genius, there isn't anybody we could've brought in to take a Ryan Day-led Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith "tO tHe NeXt LeVeL".

But I'm definitely right 8D

We've seen overly complex offenses crash and burn more than once before. I'm happy to see what gets put on the field but the time for giggles ends really quick this year with a tough schedule. I just hope he has his head screwed on straight and I trust evil Ryan Day.

I know we need to see how it plays out abd it’s not like we have a choice, but the thought of 12 personnel 42% of the time with this WR group kind of grosses me out.

I don’t mind it, especially this year. Unlike previous seasons, they don’t have an up-and-coming stud sophomore and are relying on a solid returning starter and transfer. And you’d still be seeing a majority of 3+ WR sets.

Where I’ve landed on this hire now that the season approaches.

I wasn’t the biggest fan at first but, generally speaking it’s a good idea to bring in high level/NFL minds. He’s called the game at the highest level vs. the best players and minds in the sport. I think that brings a sense of having an “adult” in the room that Day needs.

The other point I’m picking up is that Smith brings “structure” and an offensive identity. Way way too many games last year (or years past) where it seems like Ohio State was just pulling random plays out of a hat - or coaches were taking turns calling series. Formations were all over and nothing was connected.

I think back to when Chip Kelly had a month to prepare in the playoffs and installed play designs that worked off each other. We need that.

If nothing else it seems like he should help with run game coordination and OLine play which pairs well with Day’s passing acumen. Consider me pretty optimistic he can figure out how to use the Ohio State talent and outscheme/call other college coaches.

Oh, and we have #4.
