VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State finally has its new offensive coordinator — and it's a move that tells us exactly how Ryan Day wants to run this program. The Buckeyes hired Arthur Smith, a former NFL head coach and longtime NFL play-caller, to take over the offense. This wasn't a panic move or a message-board hire. It was Ryan Day going back to the same checklist he's trusted time and time again. In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down: • Why Ryan Day consistently hires veteran NFL play-callers • How Arthur Smith fits the same mold as Chip Kelly and Bill O'Brien • What this hire says about Day returning to CEO mode • Why the run game is the real story behind the move • How Smith's offense pairs with Day's passing concepts • Legitimate concerns — and why Ohio State is built to handle them Arthur Smith checked every box Day was looking for. Now the real work begins. 🔴 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football coverage 🎧 Available on YouTube & Spotify Monday, December 26, 2026 Join Kalshi and Get $10 Subscribe to the Podcast 📺 Watch On YouTube https://www.youtube.com/thebuckeyecast LIKE 👍 and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel  https://www.youtube.com/@TheBuckeyeCast?sub_confirmation=1 ⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!!
