Big Game Buckeyes! Vrabel, JSN & Ohio State on the NFL’s Biggest Stage. OSU Finally Hires ST Coach

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes kick things off on the biggest stage in football — the Super Bowl — and the strong Buckeye presence surrounding the NFL’s biggest game. The conversation starts with Mike Vrabel, now leading the New England Patriots, and how his journey from Ohio State legend to respected NFL head coach has unfolded. The guys reflect on his ups and downs in Tennessee, why players love playing for him, and how his Buckeye roots continue to shape his coaching identity. From there, the focus shifts to the next wave of Ohio State stars in the NFL’s big game. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and TreVeyon Henderson are making names for themselves on Sundays, and the crew breaks down how their development in Columbus helped turn them into impact NFL players. It’s a look at the Buckeye pipeline that just keeps delivering. Thanks to our friends at Dr Pepper, the show then widens the lens to the entire league as the guys dive into NFL Awards season. They make their picks in some of the biggest categories, with names like Vrabel, JSN, Drake Maye, and Ben Johnson all entering the discussion as the season winds down. Next comes a little offseason accountability. Last summer, the crew made prop bet predictions for Buckeyes in the NFL — including C.J. Stroud’s touchdown totals, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Garrett Wilson’s TD numbers, and JSN’s receiving yards. Now it’s time to see who nailed their picks… and who was way off. Presented by Buckeye Basement Solutions, the conversation returns to Columbus with a breakdown of Ohio State’s expected hire of Special Teams Coordinator Robby Discher from Illinois. The guys explain why this role is so important to Ryan Day’s staff and how special teams can quietly swing big games. Finally, with the spring game approaching, Beanie and Cardale share what they’ll be watching most closely — from young QBs like Julian Sayin and Tavien St. Clair to how new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith could shape the Buckeyes’ identity. They also react to Ohio State opening as an underdog at Texas next season and debate whether the oddsmakers got it right. To wrap things up, the guys take a quick trip around the college football landscape, including a look at Darian Mensah’s move from Duke to Miami and what it could mean this season.
