He&#8217;s rarely in the public eye and is often overshadowed by more vocal and more visible assistant coaches.<br \/>\n<!--more-->He was the Seahawks&#8217; starting running back when Jim Zorn, the new Redskins&#8217; coach, was the quarterback. Each turned to coaching after their playing days were over and each has been in the league for more than 30 years now.<br \/>\nSmith has been with the Titans 12 years and coached Eddie George, Chris Brown, Travis Henry and LenDale White, all 1,000 yard rushers.<br \/>\nOne of the best things about Smith I do know of is the way he cares about players, even those at other positions he doesn&#8217;t personally coach. On several occasions, I&#8217;ve heard former Titans receiver Chris Sanders speak about Smith and what he meant to him.<br \/>\nIf Sherman Smith is offered, and accepts, the offensive coordinator&#8217;s position in Washington, he&#8217;ll be hard to replace. The Titans may find someone who&#8217;s just as good at teaching technique and coaching the position, but they&#8217;ll be hard pressed to find a better person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t normally comment on all the possibilities emanating from various rumors and reports, but this has a stamp of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[88670998],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
