Danny Smith Expected to Join Steelers

[Lotus]

Good luck Danny.

We could do worse than DS but we also could do better. Let's hope we do better with his replacement.

If we could do better than Smith, the Steelers would have pursued that guy instead of Smith. Our special teams play (especially coverage units) have been excellent for years. I would be surprised if we did not notice significant decline next year.

Obviously, Smith's love for Banks and Gano call into question is talent evaluation accumen. But you can't really question that he's a great ST coach .

all those block field goals and block in the back penalties on returns
2011-2012 season, and overall play the last few years, haven't been great.

guess if the league ask about him so much, I'm wrong again. but while I wish him well I'm not sad to see him go.
