Bill Landis

He's got a...

like like an image he was trying to rework a little bit and like has done so like tremendously well since he's been at ohio state so he was like a little more gregarious i guess would be the way that i would say it um arthur smith was just like i'll answer your question

pretty like not short but like not going really off on a tangent not uh not expounding on anything a little a little too much but like to the point and i thought there were some interesting information in there but uh i told you like i had watched and i i guess that one hindsight that i'm thinking about like i watched his introductory press conference when he was hired by the falcons which was also during kovitz like it was on zoom and it was awkward

So maybe that wasn't the best presentation of Arthur Smith in that moment.

But based on that, I was maybe expecting him to be a little awkward, and he wasn't.

He was fine.

He's not going to be overwhelmed by even an insanely large Ohio State beat.

He was an NFL head coach.

He knows what it's about.

So it was good.

I thought we got kind of like set the table in a few different ways, I think, for some of the ideas he has for the offense without getting super in-depth on anything.

Yeah, let me double check that.

He did.

Yeah, he said he talked with Mike Rabel.

He talked with Justin Fields.

He talked with Will Howard.

He ran through, actually, because he drafted Zach Harrison at Atlanta.

When he was at Atlanta, they traded for Jeff Okuda.

Maybe one other player he mentioned.

But he's got some Ohio State guys in his background that I think he kind of touched base with as he was considering this.
