Zach Smith (Official Thread)

He did something similar (and in my opinion worse) after James Quick committed elsewhere. I don't have a major beef with this past tweet, but agree he should be above it. But the James Quick tweet....that was really embarrassing:

http://www.kysportsreport.com/forums/showthread.php?4984-James-Quick-OSU-coach-s-tweet-last-night

Seeing more people say Quick to Louisville than Quick to Ohio State now, but a very puzzling tweet occurred yesterday. All sources indicate Quick called OSU coaching staff yesterday. Some say it was to tell them he was picking Louisville, others say to commit to osu.

Anyway, after the call, this tweet (now deleted) occurred, from OSU WR coach Zach Smith. He was either giddy with news, or slapping UofL pretty good.

RT @CoachZachSmith Quick...Name all the 1st round draftees at WR from THE Ohio State university. I said QUICK!! Lets go!!

...I don't think Coach Smith said anything [in his public tweet that] he wouldn't have said to [Guarantano] in person. I don't see a thing wrong with this...
I don't mean to make a big deal of this, as I consider it a pretty minor issue. But in general, I don't think a willingness to say something to a person in private is a valid justification for saying the same thing in public.

...

Andersen joined The Tim Brando Show on Tuesday and brought up the Buckeyes when talking about his receivers’ willingness to get more physical. Last year, Andersen's Wisconsin team lost to Ohio State 59-0 in the Big Ten Championship Game, giving up big play after big play.

“As wide receivers, they took more pride in blocking down the field,” he said of his Oregon State group. “If you watch a team like Ohio State last year that I had so much respect for, the physicality that came because of the big blocks by the receivers was not noticed week-in and week-out by the general public. We need to be like that. That’s where your big plays come in a spread offense, on runs and short passes."

ZACH SMITH GIVES LESSON IN NEW-AGE BUCKEYE BRANDING

Zach Smith, like most collegiate coaches worth their weight in salt, are out on the recruiting trail today. Normally, coaches hit the trail decked out in regalia befitting their employers.

Smith, however, eschewed traditional Ohio State wear, and his choice apparently baffled a high school coach. Luckily, Smith was ready for him:

Zach S❌ith #Zone6 @CoachZachSmith
Had a coach ask me "Where's ur logo?" - Had to let him know... These ARE our logos. #THE #Zone6

11:33 AM - 20 May 2015

Zone-6, of course, is the name given to the Ohio State wide receiving unit. (It's because touchdowns are worth six points, you see...)

The National Championship logo, well, that part is obvious to anybody here.

All he had to do:

AT OHIO STATE, PLAY-MAKING SHOULD BECOME SECOND NATURE FOR WIDE RECEIVERS


53999_h.jpg,qitok=KZpAZAQn.pagespeed.ce.xp_kFbS-mt.jpg


Zach Smith isn't someone to sugarcoat things when it comes to his job, his players, or really, much of anything else. It's why he's such a valuable member of Urban Meyer's Ohio State coaching staff.

That's why it shouldn't really be surprising that Smith, just like the rest of the coaches, expects big things from the guys in the wide receivers room on the outside every time they take the field. Especially if they understand the concepts of route-running, their responsibilities as blockers on the edge and have the playbook memorized.

"Once they understand the offense and defense they just kind of have to go execute and then it's a matter of, it's like anything else. When the bright lights are on, you know it's your time to make a play," Smith said this spring. "Do you make the play?"

Smith joked that there was a "magic potion" he gives the wide receivers and other skill guys to teach them how to make big plays, but their job only goes as far as putting them in position to be successful.
