Austin & Birm

It's a later reveal than usual but the Buckeyes got their 2026 football schedule on Tuesday and it sets up a doozy of a year ahead for Ohio State football.

The Austin & Birm Show are breaking down the upcoming slate on the latest episode of Snap Judgments.

It's a fun, casual conversation at Roosters Restaurant on Olentangy River Road in Columbus with The Austin & Birm Show.

Former Ohio State quarterback Justin Zwick and linebacker Bobby Carpenter join the show to give their perspective on the Buckeyes new offensive coordinator and how a returning Anthony Schlegel can impact winter workouts as the Buckeyes prepare for spring football 2026.

The biggest news of the offseason at Ohio State continues to dominate the conversation, and Television’s Adam King had plenty more questions on his mind about the hiring of Arthur Smith as the next offensive coordinator for the program. How the process played out, what impact Smith might have and the intrigue around the play-calling structure are all fascinating as the Buckeyes turn their attention fully to the 2026 season as January creeps to a close.

Ohio State made a major move to bring in former NFL head coach Arthur Smith as its next offensive coordinator, expanding the staff to make room for him as the play-caller in the process. The Buckeyes have been aggressive early in the offseason, and Ryan Day sent a strong signal that the status quo isn’t acceptable in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Former Ohio State captain Zach Boren breaks down the hiring and the potential impact for Smith on The Beat.
