What are the initial thoughts on Arthur Smith's hiring as Ohio State's offensive coordinator?
Welcome back to Around the Shoe on the Bill & Doug Show. Doug LaMaurice and Bill Landis joined by two interesting members of the Ohio State and College Football Media every Monday. Bill, we have a returning guest, Andy Anders from 11 Warriors. Andy, thanks for coming back on Around the Shoe. We didn't scare you off the first time.
No, not at all. It was a great conversation. I'm happy to be back. I'm enthused to let the masses know of my opinions on the coordinator hires here.
Letting the masses know. And then a first-time guest, Colton Denning, the owner of Two Stripes CPD. You also might know him as Dubsco on X. Colton, thanks for your time joining us on Around the Shoe.
Thanks for having me. I'm really excited. I'm excited to see what this comment section looks like, to be quite honest with you.
How significant is the role of coordinators in college football?
That's what I'm looking forward to the most. But no, I'm really excited to be on and talk some Ohio State. We've got a long offseason ahead of us, so I'm excited to hear y'all's opinions on everything as well.
So the people here, they're sick of me and Bill, mostly me. Andy, they certainly are familiar with Colton. Tell people a little bit about Two Stripes CPD. Tell people about what you provide on social media. You love Ohio State, but you love ball in general. What are they getting into here with you?
Yeah, Two Stripes CPD was a website that I started, I think, back in 2021, just about general college football stuff. If you follow me on Twitter, on Instagram, on Two Stripes CPD, it's a lot of throwback stuff during the offseason. I just put out Hits of the Year, 67-minute video, the best clean hits in all of college football this season. So you can check that out on youtube.com slash Colton Denning. So two stripes CPD is just a place for basically all college football fans, unless you're like you root for Michigan or Nebraska, you know, that's really probably not for you. But other than that, it's just general college football.
Which position would be prioritized for improvement in the upcoming season?
And yeah, I'm just a guy who loves ball. And we were kind of talking about, beforehand about how i came into my ohio state fandom and i'll tell tell it real quick before we get into everything but my mom is from ohio went to ohio state and then moved out to colorado and so that's where i got my ohio state fandom from and a lot of ohio state fans will address uh people that don't have michigan degrees but are michigan fans is uh walmart wolverines i'm a big lots buckeye i don't know if they got big lots still out in ohio that's me
Yeah, all are welcome here, man. This is great. If you love ball, if you love and know about Ohio State football, you're welcome here. We do have to interrupt here real quick, though. Bill, you have to leave, though, right? Because I saw when Colton said he put out a 67-minute video of hits of the year. You were like, why am I on this show? I'm going to watch that on his YouTube channel.
I'm just watching it now, so if I seem distracted, that's why.
Yeah, all right. So a lot of good stuff here, a lot of good conversation. We're obviously going to start with the biggest news around Ohio State and get everybody's opinions on this.
Where does Jaxon Smith-Njigba rank among Ohio State's best NFL receivers?
We'll start with Colton, and that is rating the hire of Arthur Smith as the new Ohio State offensive coordinator. The news came out on Saturday night. Colton, we'll start with you. On a scale of 1 to 100, what do you think of this choice for the Buckeyes? 1 is terrible, 100 is awesome. Arthur Smith to the Buckeyes, what do you think?
I'm going to go with a solid 83, just solidly in B territory. And a lot of this in the conversation for me that pertains to this new offensive coordinator hire is what was in the past. And we don't need to malign Brian Hartline or anything here, but when I look at Arthur Smith and you go to his Wikipedia page or wherever you want to see his history and You can see somebody with a history of coordinating offenses who has run offenses at the NFL level. And, you know, for as great of a receiver coach as Brian Hartline is, I think we saw this year that just at least as of right now, maybe it'll change as his career progresses.
