More on Arthur Smith, coordinator continuity, needing a special teams coach, a Ryan Day pass, the Jake Diebler hire and more: Sunday Soundoff

COLUMBUS — It’s a Sunday Soundoff with more great questions from Substack subscribers.

We went live on YouTube on Saturday night soon after the hiring of Arthur Smith as Ohio State’s new offensive coordinator, so for first thoughts on that we’d direct you to YouTube or your favorite podcast feed.

But we have more to offer here, spurred your thoughts:

• Will a hire like Smith create more coordinator turnover for Ohio State, and didn’t Indiana just win in part because of coordinator continuity?

• What is it about NFL coaches that makes Ryan Day want to hire them as coordinators?

• Has Day gotten a pass from the media since the end of the season?

• Why is the NCAA allowing 25-year-olds to play college sports?

• Isn’t the Smith hire more proof that Ohio State should hire a full special teams coach?

• Even if old wins in college football, should Ohio State try to be the exception to the rule?

• What are the real reasons a major recruit transfers?

• What could have saved Ohio State this season?

• What does the hiring of Jake Diebler as the basketball coach two years ago tell us about AD Ross Bjork?
