Article here about how Warren, Smith, Johnson, and others handled this year's football season. It's the cover of this week's NYT Magazine.
I think it was fair to Warren for how he poorly handeled the delay of the season while also showing the tough spot he was in. He was taking much of the heat for a decision that was not his alone.
The article definitely made it clear that Smith has an incredible amount of power and respect. Probably more than any other other AD in the country. I did cringe when it quoted Smith saying that the season was being pushed for so strongly becuase OSU has an exceptionally good team this year.
I'd love to know what others think about the piece.
