Hopefully we didn't let go the next John Harbaugh. Hopefully we just let go of Danny Smith the bubble gum smacking, wishy washy special teams coach.

Side note, so does Lorenzo follow him to Pittsburgh since he's a FA?

Why? Pretty sure it isn't the life's goal of any player in the league to be a superstar special-teamer. I am sure the guy wants to play on defense and he has a shot at that here. He's not going following his special team coach around.

Lol. I hate the damn bubble gum.

Why on earth did we let him interview? Its a latteral move and Smith is one of the best special teams coaches in the league!

SmootSmack · 01-29-2013, 11:06 AM

Every year teams ask to interview Smith-including the Steelers-and every year we say no. This time we said yes. My guess is he gets an Assistant HC title slapped on as well

Also, looks like Rob Ryan and the Rams ultimately couldn't come to an agreement and he won't be headed to St Louis

CultBrennan59 · 01-29-2013, 11:14 AM

Smoot any idea who our new ST coach will be?

I'll throw a name out there, Larry Izzo.

SmootSmack · 01-29-2013, 11:16 AM

No idea. Haven't even been able to confirm yet if Smith is gone

why would we say yes? Why not just give him more $ and an Assistant HC title to stay here? I cant imagine Shanahan wouldnt want to keep him.

If you love someone...let them go?

Seriously though, maybe it's what Smith wants. Why not give him the opportunity to go home again?

I didnt know he was from Pittsburgh. I guess he wouldnt have interviewed if he was happy here. He's been excellent for us for many years, so its a big loss for us, but he has the right to chose whatever job he wants. I just wish we could have found a way to make him want to stay.

Danny Smith's ST units have performed well this season (past Cundiff), and I had no issues with him staying on as long as they continue to perform. If he wants to go and make some more coin, can't blame the guy. He can take that useless bum Banks with him while he's at it.

The man obviously doesnt want to be a st coach his entire life, its the rite thing to do.

Dan Snyder says he fired Vinny Cerrato for letting him hire Jim Zorn

Headline sums it up. An interesting nugget nonetheless.

Evilgrin · 01-29-2013, 12:49 PM

Heard Smith's parents live their, and are not in the greatest of health?

Also, can Snyder then fire himself for letting himself hire Cerrato twice?

NC_Skins · 01-29-2013, 01:18 PM

Speaking of Snyder, somebody wondered why people still believe Snyder was involved in football operations and my retort would be the following that was posted by LL/HTTR-24/7

Quote:

Yep.. That is Snyder for you.. Cold one minute and hot the next. He went from cussing Shanahan out the monday after the bye week "Evaluation" talk to debating a extension 7 games later. The decision to stay with Haslett is a weak point, hope it doesn't cost the team next season.

Quote:

Everything with this team is Snyders call at the end of the day.Owners are owners for a reason, they sit back until they don't want to sit back anymore.

So it makes me think that Haslett and other coaches are staying based off of Snyder's decision to keep them on or his reluctance to pay top dollar for alternatives.

Now, he does mention Snyder not being involved in personnel decisions for the most part.

Quote:

He is not really involved in too many personnel decisions.. Rare, but when he is upset it's known.
