More Mike Smith Buzz In San Diego

January 3rd, 2017

MikeSmith1

UPDATED 7:34 p.m. When Joe saw Mike Smith standing at the One Buc Palace podium last week sporting a fresh haircut, Joe could only think one thing:

Smith was preparing to look his interview best.

This evening, ESPN reported that Smith will interview in San Diego for the Chargers opening.

Yes, Smith’s name is alive and well in the pool of 2017 head coaching candidates. Rightfully so. Smith did a stellar job in Atlanta after taking over a complete mess of a team and managing a rookie quarterback. He ended on a down note but left with a winning record, an NFC Championship appearance and with a mountain of respect across NFL circles.

Most guys with Smith’s resumé get second crack at the head-coaching apple.

Last week, Joe found this interesting analysis in the San Diego Union-Tribune, which speculated that Smith is an ideal fit with the Chargers to replace Mike McCoy. The take is that Smith would come cheap, which is important to Chargers ownership, and he is held in high regard by San Diego and coached college ball in the city. The other name referenced is Chucky’s former right hand man Rich Bisaccia.

Joe wishes Smith well but certainly hopes he returns to the Bucs in 2017. But with the wide variety of head-coaching openings this season, Joe certainly wouldn’t bet a nickel on that happening.

  1. Chris@Apple Roof Cleaning Says:

    Mike Smith ain’t going anywhere, at least this year.

  2. Defense Rules Says:

    Mike Smith is a class act and certainly deserves a second crack at being a HC. Would hate to lose him, but looks to me like the Bucs defense is in much better shape right now than it was a year ago, largely thanks to Mike Smith’s dedication and hard work.

  3. Patrick in VA Says:

    I’ll echo Joe’s sentiments. I would hate to see him go, but we all knew this was a possibility as soon as he was hired. I’m glad that he performed well enough with getting our defense working fairly well to warrant those HC looks.

  4. DB55 Says:

    Meh, bye Felicia.

  5. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    So y’all think crazy huh. Go to Bucs.com and check the SR5 report and see for yourselves who the first person they’re mentioning. I ain’t gotta say his name. But it appears I’m not alone in my belief that he is already a trending topic over at One Buc Place.

  6. Chris Says:

    Defense turned around, even with a couple of quitters as Dr leaders and no impact dominant defensive players

  7. Kobe Faker Says:

    last 2 games, the opposing rbs ran over smith at will.

    hopefully we have a good defensive effort on the last game. im hopeing no jonaton stewart.

    smith 2016 body of work isnt ending quite well and you can question if this year actually will help or hurt his resume.

    there 10+ defensive coordinators that had a better year than mike smith

  8. Chris Says:

    D leaders not Dr leaders, need to correct myself before Patrick comes in swinging his red ink correction pen on my grammar

  9. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    A potent offense my defense wouldn’t be on the field as much to be ran over. Sorta like what those folks in dallas are experiencing.

  10. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Welcome to Tampa Mr. Dalvin. Be sure an tune in tonight at 8:00p.m. Bout to put on show for his home city crowd.

  11. BlitZen Says:

    Smitty is going to Jacksonville. Ain’t no guess , that’s what it’s going to be . Mark my words

  12. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    One last thing before I go tho. A cowboy fan told me lastnight “Mike y’all gone go get him because Fameis gone tell them go get him”.

  13. NJBucsFan Says:

    So if their thought he is cheap, just pay him slightly more…as well as point out the cost of living is cheaper in FL than CA.

    Additionally, why would he want to put himself in a ishshow like the Chargers? They don’t even know where they are playing next year.

  14. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Here’s my challenge to all you”you don’t take a RB in the first round type” go read that SR5 report and try an come back and tell me you still believe that stupid s@$!. Go ahead I dare you.

  15. orlbucfan Says:

    Mike Smith leaves, so be it. I’m glad DK is our HC. Go Tampa Bay Sunday!!! My NC best bud told me she’s rooting for the Bucs Sunday. She lives in Panther-land. Go Figure. 🙂

  16. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Y’all wanna know where Jason Licht and Dirk Koetter will be tonight??? I’ll tell you, together in front of a Big screen T.V. watching the Orange bowl. That’s where they’ll be tonight.

  17. Fred E. Buc Says:

    Hey I got a haircut yesterday. Maybe I am considered to be looking at coaching jobs. Naw. I just needed a haircut. Maybe Mike Smith did too.

  18. Shadow man Says:

    Nos bos

    Cook is good. But your blinding bias towards fsu and him is turning a lot of ppl off. Cook is good don’t get me wrong but he’s not all pro good. There are better running backs and we also have bigger needs.

    Sorry to throw shade on your noles it’s just the truth.

  19. Bucsfanman Says:

    I got to give it to you Nole, you’re persistent about Cook.
    I still am on the fence with my emotions with Smitty. I just don’t see the ‘great’ body of work here, THIS year. Improving last year’s D is easy, it couldn’t be worse. So, what has he done HERE? Based on his HC experience in Atlanta, I get it, he deserves a shot. Based on Bucs DC? Eh!

  20. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    I think any coordinator who leaves for a head coaching gig after serving only one year is a crappy coordinator. I also think the NFL should have a 2/3 rule for new coaches. Serve two thirds of their contract, but also guarantee that salary.

    If Mike Smith is worthy, he will get offers in a year, just like now. I’ll lose all respect for him if he leaves, and I will be hoping he blows it.

  21. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Maybe that’s because I was raised that a man keeps to his commitments.

  22. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Shadowman Ion give-a-s@$! what you or anybody else thinks. Scott Reynolds happen to feel the same I way do. You smart bias is he’s a Seminole dumbest ishh I ever heard my life. I’ll ask again I wonder how the people of dallas felt when Jimmie Johnson drafted all those Hurricanes. Spit ain’t got nothing to go wit bias. Everything to do wit he’s one of the best players in the whole d@$! draft. See our current RB situation. Ion come here to make friends. I come here to speak my d@$! mind PERIOD Homeboy.

  23. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    This is now a strong organization with plenty of coaching depth.

    I hope Smitty gets a great job and we become the Alabama of the NFL sending head coaches to several franchises. It reflects well on our organization.

    I suspect if Smitty gets his gig we’ll promote a DC from within…most likely Jay Hayes…but Duffner may get some consideration as well.

  24. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    There are better back. Read the SR5 report on Bucs.com and check stats then come back and point me in direction of all those better backs.

  25. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    MESSAGE TO ALL JBF DAILY POSTER’s I GIVE A RATS @$$ HOW ANY OF YOU FEEL ABOUT MY OPINIONS. WHY??? THEY’RE MY D@$! OPINIONS THAT’S WHY. IF YOU HAVE ISSUE WITH WHAT I POST JUST SCROLL YO @$$ PAST WHEN YOU SEE MY TAG. THANK YOU ALL KINDLY. NOSBOS.

  26. Shadow man Says:

    Nos bos

    None of us give a rats @$$ about your opinion and no one gives a rats @$$ if you care about our opinion. Why?? Cuz they’re our own damn opinions. If you don’t like them then just scrolllll on down home skillet
    Thank you kindly,
    Everyone except Kobe

  27. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    6 runs 70 yards or more. Who else in the country. I’m waiting Shadow.

  28. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    You know I wish some of you could run a football team. Would love to see that outfit after y’all acquired all those A1 O linemen. Dallas has the so called best o line in the nfl. They didn’t sniff playoffs last season. But what you know, they took a flyer on a 4th rounder from Miss. had already taken a bad boy RB from Ohio st. and just like that wa-la poise to make a deep playoff run the following season. I ain’t smart sure their are plenty people in jbf land waaayy smarter than me. Doctor,lawyer, engineer rocket scientist type mofos. But where I even the playing field is good God given Common Sense. Its there I can stomp wit the Big Dogs.

  29. Shadow man Says:

    I mean we can bring up stats from the year eric crouch won the heisman and make you say oooooo and ahhhhhh and make a fire in your trousers. Or Ron Dayne or you pick.stats in college doesn’t always translate into NFL success. You know that. He’s also playing in the acc so those long run stats may be a bit inflated.
    Cook is still a beast. No question and I maybe should have stated so matter of fact there are better options, but You can find rb value anywhere in the draft. Cook is not Elliot or Peterson. If you think he is then your bias to fsu makes some of us consider your opinion with less weight than your opinions on other matters, which sometimes are very intelligent and well thought out.

    Look I’m not saying he’s a bust by any stretch. He will be good. But If we have to give up a few picks to get him then I don’t think it’s worth it. We have too many other holes to be making a move like that to jump into the top 12? Ish that’s gonna cost a 2nd and a 3rd? 4th? I don’t know

  30. Shadow man Says:

    You stomp with Steve deumig?

  31. Joe Says:

    “Stomp?” LOL

    Not sure what you are asking but no, Joe doesn’t go dancing with Duemig.

  32. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    I’ll ask you again Shadow, go an read Scott Reynolds SR5 report on this very topic found at Bucs.com. See for yourself the HOF listings that have went in the first round. See for yourself how inept our RB situation has been over the last few years. Come back and then give me your opinion on the words of a professional writer. One who has been connected to this organization for 22 years. I think if his sources are saying Cook’s name is being thrown around the wails of One Buc then I feel he’s pretty credible in saying so.

  33. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Other thing will y’all folks being saying that “we have too many holes” after we win a Superbowl. I hear that every year. No team is equip with all pros at every position. I keep using dallas as an example because they are the best one to use right now. All the experts had them going D line last draft. They didn’t and look at them now. Another thing may not take giving up anything to get him. Chris Johnson was taken by the titans 24th overall. After setting a combine record 40 time. Later becoming a 2000 yard rusher.

  34. Shadow man Says:

    lol joe it was a joke to nole about him stomping with big dog

  35. Shadow man Says:

    Lol nole I’ll believe you that his name is being thrown around the walls at one buc. The draft is when. I bet you that there are and will be a lot more names being thrown around the walls

  36. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Nice interview Dan Patrick. Says he patterned his game Marshall Faulk. Go figure😊.

  37. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Let him go.

  38. M.Stevbobucfan Says:

    Ok bucs fans less not bite each other’s head off about opinions. ….as I’ve said many times..opinions are like rear ends everybody has one. ..back to the bucs…do you think that if M. Smith leave for a H C job..do you think Gus Bradley would be a good fit for the bucs. ..Bradley seem to have done a pretty good job in Seattle before landing the Jags job

  39. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Nole saw that interview, Dalvin Spoke well, and he even sort of looks like Marshall. He runs like him as well, although after watching Marshall Faulks career college and nfl highlights, I’d say that Marshall was far more laterally quick than Dalvin. Cooks film is still very impressive. That being said I still prefer Fournette. You see Cook run through arm tackles, but you don’t see him running people over the way you see it from Fournette. And as I’ve mentioned before, in my eyes Power Backs>Scat Backs.

  40. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Not to mention that Acc defenses< Sec defenses.

    For the most part Florida State is matchup against creampuff defenses like wake forest.

  41. webster Says:

    @ nols

    Many mock drafts had dallas taking elliot. Having said that, the bucs are not in the same situation as dallas was. Dallas had multiple weapons and an oline filled with 1st round picks. The bucs have neither and that is why some feel drafting cook is the wrong move. I too am a fsu fan, but i want the bucs to pick the best player whomever that might be when it is their time to pick. I for one would love to see a stud wr lined up opposite of evans or a stud tackle etc. I want the best player period regardless of school attended.

  42. shouldhavedraftedefiert Says:

    Shiano’s defense was better than Smith’s. They had a good 4 game span againsta lot of hurt offenses, but pretty bad the rest of the season.

  43. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Blake Marshall’s running style allow for a longer and more dependable career. I’ll take the homerun threat over the power guy any day bro. Webster ask any pro QB what difference it makes having a bonafide stud in that back field. Dak would not be having the year he’s having with out Zek sacrificing his body for him. Elway had the three amigos but didn’t win a chip until the emergence of Terrel Davis. Plenty above quality WR in free agency This year. Only one Cook type talent in thud class bro.

  44. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Blake fournette showed very little against the one true sec defense and that’s bama. People need to stop talking sec this and sec that. The sec is one team right. Everyone else so so. Hell last year the ACC was 4 and 0 against the sec in bowl games.

  45. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    @Nole, Bro what I have been trying to convey to you, is that Leonard Fournette is a power back, but he is also a home run threat, he is an all around beast. He looks so freaking similar to Adrian Peterson when he was in college. And you’re right he didnt do a lot vs the Crimson Tide, but thats a stacked defense man. They are consistently a top recruiting school.

    But hey, I remember Dalvin Cook not doing anything good vs the Ducks. Am I remembering it wrong or did he have 2 fumbles in that game?

  46. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNtTPxeRVxc

    This guy knows what’s up.

  47. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Leonard Fournette is a FREAK! Straight up monster dude. Gamechanger man. I’m telling you.

  48. webster Says:

    @ nols

    Three amigos? You are talking 30 years ago. The game was different 30 years ago. Now a days, offenses do not need studs. They need a competent running game. Look no further than the packers superbowl, or the saints, or the giants who had the committee approach. I can go on but i won’t.

  49. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    If we draft Leonard Fournette, and sign Tyrell Pryor, our offense could be freaking scary dude.

  50. Arealbucsfan Says:

    @NosBos we won’t be drafting Dalvin. He’ll be gone before we can pick him up.

  51. Arealbucsfan Says:

    I jus don’t understand why everyone is saying “draft Fournette or Dalvin” those dudes will be long gone before we pick. And no way in hell am I willing to trade that far up for a RB when we can stay put or even trade down and some Olineman

  52. Chris Says:

    It will be Cory Davis or the kid from Washington

  53. Chris Says:

    We’ll draft a rb in the second or third

  54. Chris Says:

    Davis will be a taller Amari Cooper,

  55. Chris Says:

    John Ross another Antonio Brown

  56. Shadow man Says:

    Amen Blake. But please stay away from the trash wr’s Pryor and Jeffrey. We can do so much better. John Ross is legit. Hopefully he is there late firstfor us to trade back in and get him.

    Fournette is better than cook. As bigvaghaynous likes to quote “simple as that”
    Reggie bush was better that cook.

  57. Chris Says:

    Shah Shadow, the FSU homers haven’t heard of anyone outside of the SEC or ACC. John Ross has made Washington’s version of Cody Kessler look great

  58. Chris Says:

    Terrell Pryor attitude problem Talk a lot of crap on a 0-14/1-15 team. Doesn’t run routes, only putting up stats cause he’s in Cleveland. And yes Jeffrey, let’s get another tall wr that can’t get separation and also gets busted for PEDS

  59. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Arealbucsfan I’ve stated on numerous occasions that in a perfect world I would want us to draft dominant O-linemen in the 1st round.

    But the issue with that as it pertains to this years draft, is that there really aren’t any dominant O-line prospects available.

    Every single bit of film that i’ve watched from the top prospects listed on walterfootball.com have been exceedingly average.

    So we MUST use our 1st round pick on the best player available that also fits a need.

    For my money, The 3 best players available in this years Draft are as follows in no particular order:

    Mike Williams- Wr- Clemson 6’3″ 225 Comparisons: Plaxico Burress, Anquan Boldin, Mike Evans. Projected 40 time 4.48. Think of a slightly fast Mikey, Great Jump ball receiver, not a burner but pretty good speed. Makes acrobatic catches in the Endzone over Db’s look easy. Good quickness, could be utilized on quick slants, and Wr screens in the red zone.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IZ7BrABNlE

    Leonard Fournette #7- Rb- LSU 6’1″ 230 Comparisions: Adrian Peterson, David Johnson, Cadilac Williams. Projected 40 time 4.47. Ran a 4.35 40 in High school track&field, but at a lighter weight. Perfect combination of Size, Speed, Agility, Vision, and Power. Nimble enough to make D-line miss, powerful enough to run over Linebackers, and fast enough to outrun Defensive backs. Runs angry, One of the most violent stiff arms I’ve seen yet. Tbh he’s my favorite player in the draft.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MKKnCz8OSc

    Jabrill Peppers #5- Michigan- 5’10” 205 Comparisions: Earl Thomas, Charles Woodson, Devin Hester, Tyler Lockett. Projected 40 time Sub 4.4. Dude is a 5’10 speed demon jack of all trades player. He has caught touchdowns at Wide receiver, Returned punts and kicks for massive yardage and taken a handful to the house. At the same time he is a monstrously talented Free Safety. Frankly put he is a banger, highly reminiscent of Earl Thomas. Kid has great instincts, a good nose for the ball, and appears to have a high football IQ. Would be psyched if we could get him.

  60. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJB4a1jNem4

    Skip to around 17 seconds in if you dont want to listen to the annoying intro.

  61. webster Says:

    @chris

    I believe evans gets plenty of seperation. You do not have 1300 yrds receiving, 90 + catches and 11 tds while being the only target if you can’t get seperation. Yes, i would take two of those in a heartbeat.

  62. Chris Says:

    Point is neither has speed to make defenses get on their heels

  63. Chris Says:

    Fournette will be injured often when he gets to the league

  64. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Insider Scott Reynolds happens to feel differently than you all. Emphasis on insider. We’ll all see what’s good direct night.

  65. webster Says:

    Point is 1300 yrds and 11 tds is 1300 yrds and 11 tds regardless how you get them. Those are pro bowl and possibly all pro numbers. Again, i do not care how those numbers come. Tavon austin has more speed than anybody and has not come close to those numbers. Look for production and not skillset. Skillset does not always equate to production.

  66. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Lol @ Scott Reynolds. As if that dude is any kind of scout for talent, I recall numerous occasions of him lobbying for nobody training camp bodies to make the team, that were cut, and proceeded to do nothing in the Nfl. So I would take that dudes opinion and throw it away.

  67. webster Says:

    Scott reynolds the “insider” had the bucs taking rankins last year. His guess/opinion is no different than anyone else. Another “insider” can make a strong case for clemson’s wide receiver.

  68. Chris Says:

    I agree Webster, he is a great receiver. We get either Williams, Davis from WMU or Ross and we will be scary on offense

  69. Chris Says:

    Teams will not be able to double both Davis/Ross and Evans

  70. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    @Chris tbh i would be happy with either one of those 3 man. If we could get a top flight Wr in round 1 and Possibly get D’onta Foreman from texas and I would be perfectly content with that result.

  71. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Get foreman in round # 2 that is

  72. Chris Says:

    Blake I would love that draft. Fireman’s a beast who hasn’t been injured like Fournette

  73. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Lol, to my Knowledge he’s only had one semi serious injury that hindered him this year. But I’m positive that in his tremendous Sophmore he was healthy all year. I think he is going to be an amazing Nfl Player. But yeah foreman looks really good for a big guy.

  74. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    And many of you wanted Rankins. Didn’t really notice him the two times we faced him but I’m just saying.

  75. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Blake check it bro, I’m not saying Fournette is not about to beast in the league cause I believe he is. The reason I feel Cook in the eyes of the Bucs is higher because they of the continual talks they had with Lasco last combine. A dual threat guy. Fournette is outstanding but for a playaction offense like ours the dual threat makes more since. Cook is the superior pass catcher hands down bro. 29 catches this season over 450 yards. Along with 1600+ out the backfield.

  76. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    If we were the titans(who have more on offense than we do) Fournette makes since if they didn’t have Henry because of the ground and pound style of ball there play. All teams do to us now is sit on us first and second down. We don’t convert cause we never motion the RB on first or second then its left up to Fameis to make a play on third down. Often he dose but people are unhappy because they don’t see YAC knowing all to well we don’t have that type of personnel.

  77. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    O line o line o line all I see folks screaming. But the Falcons offensive weapons getting younger, saints offensive weapons getting younger, cowboys offensive weapons getting younger so on and so on. What are we gonna do after stock piling all these o linemen. Cause to pass the many weapons entering this draft would seriously make me question the true intentions of this organization.

  78. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Guess Fameis suppose to throw the ball to a bunch of jabawaki’s or something.

  79. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Thats where we disagree dude, you say Leonard Fournette is a good type of back for a play action offense. I say to you that Jameis Winston plays his best when working in the Play Action, and that Dirks entire offense revolves around establishing the Run and and Play Action. That’s why I want Fournette.

  80. Tarzan Says:

    Nole shut up

  81. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Okay Tarzan. Done for the night. Sorry Blake gotta in the house.

  82. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Blake read that post again. He said that Fornette is NOT a PA pass rb. But, I would be happy with Cook OR a Wr in the first with D Onta Forman in the 2nd or late 1st. Maybe the LSU or Ohio State C/G in the late 2nd or 3rd. Also, it may sound crazy but I wouldn’t mind seeing LVD traded this offseason. (Nothing less than a 2nd) He hasn’t really been all there the past 2 years. We could move Kwon to his spot and draft a True MLB. Don’t jump down my throat, just a thought.

  83. TarzanTheBucsFan Says:

    Why would we take 2 rb’s in the first two rounds blake?

  84. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    I lied y’all see’em, nasty. And that’s one of the best defenses in the nation. fournette who. That makes 7 runs 70 yards or better.

  85. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Too bad the rest of the offense is TRASH. I luv FSU, but they choked this game away. PATHETIC

  86. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Frenchy should have been benched 2 Q ago

  87. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    2-18 passing?

  88. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    NOW THAT’S A GOOD THROW!!!!!!!!

  89. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Wow, such a f#ckin roller coaster. Just like a certain pro team I know. SMH

  90. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Draft that guy and watch things settle out some.

  91. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Lol tarzan I never said that we should take 2 rb’s

    I said if we were to take a Receiver 1st then we should try and get Foreman in Round 2.

  92. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    And Nole as i’ve stated multiple Times i think Cook is talented just do not see his body holding up. I do not like his frame, He looks way too skinny to me.

  93. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says
    “You know I wish some of you could run a football team.”

    I would LOVE to own the Buccaneers.

    First thing I would do is get new uniforms that are more like the pewter and red style, instead of charcoal, orange, white and red.

    Second thing? Get rid of the stupid slogan “Siege the day”. Having spent a career in marketing, that is the worst slogan I have ever seen.

    Third thing? I would be on the sidelines for every home game, cheering the team on.

    Forth thing? I would have a heavy hand in the operations of the team…from draft to free agency. No more injury prone players.

  94. LakeLandBuc Says:

    D’Onta Foreman is a good running back and he’s good in pass protection. But he have only caught 13 passes in 3 seasons. We need a receiving back out of the backfield, who can pass protect and run the ball. I like Clemson Wayne Gallman in the 3rd round.

  95. MadMax Says:

    Nosbos, Perine declared. I could see him in the late 2nd, we move up and take him…..much better than his teammate woman beater lol. I cant see us spending a 1st on Cook or any rb, but I could be wrong. I wont hate the pick! And I know you’ll be stoked 😛

  96. MadMax Says:

    Btw, good luck Mike Smith! I really was hoping you would return but HC is what you’re used to so go get it buddy. Good luck except when you play us.

  97. MadMax Says:

    Man this thread is old!! HAHAHA, just noticed that.

  98. PRBucFan Says:

    keep dreaming on Dalvin lol

    I swear if it were up to y’all we would just draft nothing but FSU players

  99. Simpleasthat Says:

    Who cares? It’s not like we didn’t know he was probably here for only a year.

  100. tnew Says:

    San Diego + Mike Smith is a fit that makes too much sense. If I was the owner he wouldn’t leave San Diego unsigned.

  101. James Walker Says:

    PAY THE MAN TO STAY! HE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OFF SEASON SIGNING!!!!

  102. Trubucfan22 Says:

    Why would mike smith go to the charger for cheap? He has a successful traxk record, and the chargers are a dump of an organization. The only thing that makes the chargers mildly relevant is watching Philip rivers choke away games. Their fan base is one of the worst in the NFL, the team is actively trying to relocate. Nothing about that job screams “come coach here for real cheap, this is a great opportunity for you Mike Smith.”

    Dude turned around a franchise in complete shambles. And followed that up by turning around a defense that was in kinda of disaray. And you think he is going to be “cheap”? The chargers and the SD media must be retarded if they think Mike Smith will head coach the chargers for “cheap”.

    You get what you pay for! Anyone who purposely starts Jude brahim should have his fan card examined for authenticity.

    Personally I’d be looking at the San Fran job it’s a heck of a lot better than Tampa Jax or SD.

    As for fsu I’d draft 51% of my team with fl u’s. Mia,fsu,fl. Anyone from ft.myers!Dade county and/or Haiti. Lmao 😂😂😂😂
