Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith didn’t miss the opportunity to poke some fun at archrival Michigan on Tuesday when he was asked about the Buckeyes potentially holding spring football practice in Florida like Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh did this year.
Smith said, per Doug Lesmerises of Cleveland.com, “Is it creative? Does it help from a recruiting and marketing point of view? I get that. If we were jump-starting our program I’d probably try and do that, too. But we’re not jump-starting our program. We’re in a different place.”
The ever-vigilant Harbaugh wasn’t about to let that jab go unanswered, and he took to social media to share his take:
Good to see Director Smith being relevant again after the tattoo fiasco.
