Call me confused.

1. When they hired Stud, I kind of thought he would be an "assistant" offensive line coach. But he is talking like he is actually THE line coach. Quite a puzzler
2. Why would you take the world's best offensive line coach and have him coach just one blocker, instead of coaching 5 people who are going to be blocking?
3. Why exactly do we have tights ends on the roster when we don't even really use them? By contrast, there are only 4 QBs on the roster and only 8 linebackers

From what I've heard, Warriner will be in the box as OC/play caller on gamedays. I'm sure he'll give input on the OL, especially since the personnel are all guys he recruited. I'd expect him to have a say on future OL recruits, also...as long as he's here.

The tight end numbers are a bit wonky, especially year-to-year; but that's to be expected from one position when a program has the full 85 ships.

IMO, four QBs are fine. If JT goes down, we're in scramble mode even with six QBs. Meyer (or Fickell) doesn't sub much in the back 7, so not really concerned about having 8 LBs (or nine, with Harrison). Admittedly, the team has been blessed with injuries. We should be relieved that major injuries have been limited to Miller and backup WR/SAF.

With Warriner calling plays and being the TE coach we will likely see more throws to the TE's. I'm looking forward to that. Stud is an elite OL coach and so I don't think he will need much help nor will Warriner have much time to help out.

Top to bottom this is one of the finest coaching groups we have seen at tOSU.

Good point, I had not thought of that. We are going to have a very athletic pass-catching TE group in the coming years with Baugh, Hausmann, Berry, Hawkins, etc...really would like the see them utilized.

Every year I have though that TEs will received more passes, but it never happens

The evidence of 6 TEs in roll and Warriner moving to TE coach more likely suggests that tOSU is planning lots of 3 tight end sets to get a little extra run blocking. This is Ohio State.

I can see that coming. I know Meyer would like to have a much better technical passing game but he also wants a QB who can run when necessary. Run sets up the pass and vice versa. I think if Clark makes that next step and Haskins ends up being the real deal, the Ohio State Offense is going to look more like the Troy Smith led offenses in the past. Vaunted running attack with elite receivers that all have a niche, guided by a QB who can gun it and escape from trouble or even be a weapon himself. Ridiculously hard offense to stop if people stay healthy and the OC attacks what the defense is giving.

Echoing what someone else already said, this coaching staff is one for the ages. I can't remember a better grouped set of guys in my lifetime, over 40 years of football psychosis

Love for Stud

"The kids love him," a source familiar with the situation told Bucknuts. "He's really hands-on with his teaching and has been very helpful as far as technique goes. He teaches, he doesn't drill or yell. But he can be tough when he needs to. That position, you kind of have to be. So, it's been good. He's different than Ed, but that's not a bad thing. I think he'll still get results. I know the players are responding well, and it's good he's familiar with Coach [Urban] Meyer and his style already. The transition was pretty seamless."

"He's fit right in," a separate source close with the team shared on Studrawa. "He's one of Urban's long-time friends, so that made it easy. He's done well in recruiting. I think his personality is a little warmer than Ed's, so that has helped with first impressions on recruits. As far as the players go, he believes in a lot of the same things as Ed. They are working together, making sure things are flowing, and the most important players on our offense are in synch. He's got this group coming along and I think they'll be a lot better than people think."
