He just doesn't really seem to have a feel of the duties of actually calling an offense and getting into the rhythm of calling an offense.

And whatever you want to say about Arthur Smith's time in the NFL, he at least has the history of calling an offense.

And it's an outside voice, which I think Ohio State and that offense desperately needs right now.

I think Ryan Day's kind of putting it on the table here, going to somewhere outside, something that might be a little polarizing.

But we also saw that last offseason with Matt Patricia.

That worked out well.

So I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, too, and say about an 83-84, a solid B.

He doesn't have to be, Stu, if I can jump in, he doesn't have to be babysat either.

And that's kind of to your point, Bill.

That's something we talked about a lot throughout, I think, all of Ohio State fandom is some of these kind of more internal staff members where it's like Day is not only the head coach, but he's also still kind of working with the quarterbacks and also designing things where with Chip Kelly, he could just leave him be, let him do his thing.

And so I think there was probably a lot of that behind the scenes this year of him just being involved in everything.

And so no matter what the scheme is, no matter what kind of the different changes, if wide receiver you is out and 14 personnel you is in, I don't know if I'm a huge fan of that, but at least you know that Ryan Day isn't going to have to be babysitting Arthur Smith, at least, you know, in an ideal world that he can kind of trust him to just do his thing and he can be the head coach instead of having his hand in every little single thing offensively.

And you have that now on both sides, offensively and defensively, where you have two guys who you presume that he trusts who can just do their thing and they can be more of, you know, it's so cliche, but what everybody's talked about is, you know, we want you to be the CEO where you worry about recruiting, you worry about NIL and,

You worry about game management.

I think we we might need to get a dedicated NFL special teams guy in here now.

But other than that, like, you know, you have these two sides of the ball where you can trust that these guys know what they're doing, at least.

And they can solely focus on being a head coach and everything that comes with that.

I think that's fair.

But when you let off with me, I feel like your comment section was probably like, oh, we got a 60 coming here.

We got a 58.
