The IMPOSSIBLE RISE of OREGON STATE Football... 

As a Sooner fan, I was PRAYING the Beavs would knock off Lincoln Riley and USC. Wasn't meant to be this year, but make no mistake, Oregon State was damn good this year and they played with a ton of energy and passion. Smith should be there for as long as he wants. He's earned it.

I would have to keep it real with you Nick. Oregon, Washington, USC, and lately Utah have bought Oregon State Athletics. You might want to study how rêvenue sharing works before you ever start a osu comment with Built not Bought.

DJ Uiagalelei is coming boys

The loss of Jack Colletto is going to seriously hurt Oregon State, he is the most underrated super talent in college football

No chance that happens. The Pac12 champ will be either USC, Utah, Oregon, or Washington next year.

Every coach he has been around from Erickson to Peterson has raved about Smith as a future head coach. He reminds me of coach Troy Calhoun at Air Force (another former QB at the school he now coaches who coaches raved about as a future coach) who just keeps winning 9 games almost every season without the resources or talent of the other teams in his conference.

@@deanfirnatine7814 Troy went to the same high school I did.

I definitely was saying that as well being close in every game and losing most of them is better then winning 4 games and getting blown out in the rest of them obviously this years results are even better.

@@deanfirnatine7814 "He reminds me of coach Troy Calhoun at Air Force (another former QB at the school he now coaches who coaches raved about as a future coach) who just keeps winning 9 games almost every season without the resources or talent of the other teams in his conference." That is probably a better job than even coach Saban could do in the circumstances.

Same grew up in Oregon and finally can say to my Oregon fan friends we were better

@@MS_6IX Both Oregon and Oregon State should have beaten Washington, both coaches made some bad calls and gave those games away.

Bring me back To a year ago

I was a student at OSU from the same time! I loved watching the beavs play even back in the beginning. I remember telling my best friend that the beavs would be ranked by time we graduated. Although I graduated in 2022, my friend has another year. I’m so excited to see that they’re finally getting the recognition they deserved. I’ve always believed in them and it’s amazing to see everyone else believing in them too

Yep it has not meant anything nationally since Erickson was there and Smith was the QB

@@deanfirnatine7814 it did determine the rose bowl in 09

@@Senormoola damn beavers fans get mad at us even when we compliment you guys guess that why we 16-4 in last 20 years and we will walk over you guys next year and this year we only loss cause we sold

​@@marzfn3430 Lmao lets see man it was fun watching you guys lose this year like so funny. I started dying of laughter.

Actually did mean something, we won you lost, that's what that means

Right…civil war win wasn’t even on sportscenter…you know dam well if Oregon would have won it would be in the first 5 mins of SC 😒

I watched Smith as a QB, he always was a winner despite his size or lack of athleticism, he fits Oregon State as a player and a coach, he learned from the best as well with Erickson and Peterson, two legendary college coaches that raved about his future as a coach. I see Oregon State's future to be similar to Boise State under Peterson, a program that wins with less talent by playing smart flawless gritty football that is not intimidated at all by the giants of college football but instead makes the giants of college football afraid of them. I see Oregon State now as a regular 8-10 wins per year with a year once every 8-10 years where they win the conference and play in a top tier bowl like the Rose Bowl or Fiesta Bowl. I am a Duck fan and alumni but as a Native Oregonian I am thrilled for Oregon State.

First time I ever someone say this. Respek

Good for you guys. Looks like it’s gonna be a long term great hire for you guys.

He's done a great job so far. Definitely feels like OSU football again. Can't wait to see where he takes the Beav's next!

Smith knows Corvallis and what it takes to win there better than almost anyone else in CFB (arguably Dennis Erickson or Mike Riley ahead of him, we need to see sustained success from Smith). Smith didn't just believe that the Beavers could be just good, from his own experience he KNEW they could be GREAT. After Gary Andersen departed, he said that if he couldn't win in Corvallis, nobody could. The team's culture and community were in utter shambles. Smith knew Andersen was ABSOLUTELY wrong, and took Andersen's players and created a winning culture and program in Corvallis. This year's seniors were in the program for the last year of GA.... What an incredible turnaround. From 1-11, to 10-3. Nobody would, or could, embrace that situation like Smith did, and what a contrast it is to new coaches today telling old players to basically hit the road. Smith has tremendous faith in Oregon State and Corvallis. Combine that with his incredibly underrated football IQ, continuity of staff, and his work ethic, Smith has built a great foundation for continued success.

@@GamingPast30 don’t worry he’ll take many L’s vs oregon

@@dashien2605 Like he did this year?

@@MinkJu oregon state fans can celebrate their little win this year, just know oregon is coming back to smoke them 😂

🧡🖤

Love it. Even if I hadn’t grown up here, gone to and graduated from OSU, I would still be a Beaver fan

Smith needed a better defensive coordinator and knew where to get one. Hope Bray stays awhile.

Ok Lebron

And a tip of the hat from a Oregon State alum, Boise State had a fine season themselves.

thanks for watching, merry christmas!

I believe I heard that jebbia is going to be kept on as a coach assistant as well. Imo good move, and building a great future coach.

go beavs!

Why you following me connor?

@@setalight7290 haha hey you’re in beav area now! Fancy seeing you here..

@@HMbeav8404 it got sent to my recommended 🤣...I didn't watch it but I had to scroll through comments to see if you were here😂

The collapse of the ole miss rebels in 2002

2022

The raise and fall of MIA (FL) WR Jeff Thomas

Fall of Navy Football and their new HC

The rise of Air Force Football. 9-3 is impressive idk when the last time Air Force was good.

When he was hired, not going to lie I was ecstatic. Seeing how he built Utah State up before going to Wisconsin had me feeling he'd bring the right vibe to Corvallis. However in hindsight that was clearly not the case. I don't think his approach to Oregon State was the right one as he seemed to treat it like a total rebuild, which wasn't necessarily. OSU was mediocre during the last years of Riley but that didn't necessitate an entire rebuild which what Andersen seemed to be doing. And of course during the course the Beavs regressed from mediocre at best to a complete bottom dweller. While Andersen's time was not the best of times in anyway, I do commend him for acknowledging that things weren't getting better and that he's not the guy for it. Him leaving his buyout behing definitely made me respect him.

Foregoing his buyout is the one and only contribution he made to OSU, but it was a big one.

No, everyone hates him. They just see it as the least bad thing he did after dropping a grenade in the program. I hear there are other unspoken of (legal) reasons why he left quick and with cash on the table as well.

Welcome!
