Mike Smith to Be Promoted to Outside Linebackers Coach

And what happend to him? was he fired, demoted, promoted, take another job?

Mike now has to handle a broader work load where he will be less able to help the young guys on a personal basis. What he did with Maybin was outstanding. I saw his game evolve week in and week out until teams really started to key in on him. Thats a testament to Mikes ability to TEACH. Thats what you need out of position coaches. They don’t need to be coaches as much as they need to be teachers.
I’m excited about any in house guy getting promoted on a players perfomance. It shows promise. Great Job Mike. Now I’m looking forward to seeing if he gets a nice mid-round draft pick to toy around with in camp.

I thought, wow, this team is really insane…whatever. Nothing surprises me.

Good to see some people working their ass off in this organization besides revis, pouha, L.T and mark.

I wonder what he’s going to do about Bart Scott crying over playing time?

He told him to shelve most of his pass-rush moves and focus on his speed rush. Soon, they focused on his up-and-under move, which worked to perfection in a game-sealing sack against the Redskins. Maybin’s grasp of the defense grew at a faster rate than the coaching staff believed possible thanks, in part, to Smith’s tutelage.

Mastering one thing and then gradually building off that. Wouldn’t it be crazy if the team coached its quarterbacks that way?
