WR coach

  • I keep hearing that the WR's aren't doing this and doing that. I have not heard anything yet about what the WR coach is doing about all of this. Does he think the group is mediocre or what. What is he doing to step up the coaching of these guys. OSU hires coaches to bring players along. If he is NOT doing the job ..then can we wait like we did with Bollman?

    What's he suppose to do? make them faster, quicker ? That's Mickey's job. He is dealing with guy's that are already here.

    I think that Urban who was a receivers coach for 12 years of his career, is very hard on his receivers and uses the media to help motivate these guys. He says he is looking for playmakers and i think he just downplays what he has on the roster now. ( I think it helps with recruiting as well) it is not just a matter of speed because Devin Smith who runs on the OSU track team, his times are better than Percy Harvins in college.

    I think he has more talent and depth that he let's on to all of us.......

  • Zac Smith = Sciciliono ??? Both are coaches' pet project. Would they be hired by any other major program?

    I too agree that Urban "has more talent and depth than he let's on to all of us" and that it "helps with recruiting as well".

    Nice post. I too think we'll be fine at wide receiver though I also think that it's going to get far better in the future under Urban Meyer.

  • I don't expect the problems with the WRs to be solved in 14 practices.

  • As a production supervisor of 20 years, if my boss came out on the shop floor and told me that if my team didn't start getting the job done he would take over, I would know that it's my performance he was concerned with, not that of my team members.

    The Zac Smith hire is obviously a favor to Earl, not an indication of career achievement such as the rest of the staff has with the exception of Vrabel. At least Vrabes has an NFL career to lend creedence to his resume. What has Smith achieved? My point is that Smith is the weak link in the coaching staff. I'm sure Meyer doesn't expect miracles from his receivers but it appears he is not seeing the progress he expects and he is holding his receivers coach accountable. Just like any other member of the Buckeyes, Urban demands that his coaches perform or he will get someone who will. The message was for Zac Smith as well as the receivers.

  • BTW.....what area are we struggling with in recruiting? As yet it seems like we can't attract top flite wide receivers yet we have no problem with d-line. Any correlation with the coaches at those positions? The top recruits and their coaches know when they have a stud coaching their position and when they have a wannabe. Smith hasn't proven anything in his career and OSU is a tough place to learn your trade.

    I believe Urban has stated that there are winners and losers days for players AND coaches. I think he was also trying to motivate Coach Smith but this original post that somehow we need to get rid of the coach because of what one fan posts that he has or hasn't heard about the coach is beyond ridiculous to the point of being absurd. Let's go through a few actual games and see what kind of progress they've made, eh ?

  • Give the coach a break, he hasn't been there that long and im sure they are better today then they were in the past. Go Bucks.

    Yeah.....we should fire the guy after being on the job for 15 practices....

    dumbass...

  • I have lightweight been concerned with Zach Smith. He has more experience then what Sic had but I'm not hearing his name mentioned at all with recruits. I hear Drayton, Withers, Fickell, Vrabel an Hinton all the time but nada on Smith from recruits.

    Urban is gonna be a tough situation with Earl Bruce if he ends up having to fire him.

    These receivers were coached by some very good assistant coaches. Zach Smith has had these guys for 6 weeks and he's to blame? Give me a break!

    First, Meyer doesn't hire guys for favors. Smith has a history with Urban from his time at Florida, he may not have a long resume but to assume he is a weak link is nuts,what proof do you have.NONE!
