Ex-Falcons coach Smith joins Buckeyes staff
25 Jan
Summary
- Arthur Smith is now Ohio State's offensive coordinator.
- He previously coached the Atlanta Falcons for three seasons.
- Smith led multiple top-10 offenses in the NFL.

Arthur Smith, formerly the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, has been appointed as the new offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes. The move comes after Smith's three-season tenure with the Falcons, during which the team struggled offensively, with rankings fluctuating significantly in total offense and points scored.
During his time in Atlanta, Smith's offenses experienced inconsistency, partly due to quarterback changes and player departures. He now joins an Ohio State program led by Ryan Day, inheriting Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin and top prospect WR Jeremiah Smith. This transition marks a return to college for Smith, who previously served as an offensive lineman for the UNC Tar Heels.
