Buccaneers Interview Danny Smith for Special Teams Coordinator
42 comments
I wonder if he was chewing 7 pieces of gum while on the zoom call.
Theres not enough gum in Tampa for that man. Pittsburgh had to have truckloads brought in for games.
I don’t want him to go, but if he can get paid I can’t blame him
Ledyard must be losing his shit
NO GOD NO
STAY OFF MY GUM CHEWING LEGEND
Smith will be one of the few guys I miss from this staff, but its the cost of change ig
Good for Danny. He should get to retire to Florida.
He’s just preparing for his Tomlin reunion after they fire Bowles next year.
Cool, enjoy him.
Tampa had abysmal special teams last year so makes sense
Another one bites the dust :/
It does suck that Danny most likely chewed his last wad on the Steelers sideline. Especially since he’s a local guy. But I wouldn’t fault him for going to a warmer weather team for his pre-retirement.
Man I’m gonna be really sad if he leaves but I get it, get your bag and retire to Florida.
I love Danny Smith, but our ST hasn’t been anything to write home about lately.
YinZer Dream. Get paid to retire to Florida
Sad to see him go. Happy to see him land on his feet in… 5 days.
Dam man I don’t want him to leave. Secure the bag by all means tho! I hope we can keep him
So Tomlin to TB confirmed
They hurt me doing this.
Goodnight sweet Prince
I wanted to downvote this because I don’t want it to happen.
Nope. You can’t have him. He’s the only coach allowed to stay in Pittsburgh
I’m just being honest here, because I do like him and everything. Do we even want to keep him? Our special teams was awful this year
I feel like a lot of why we like him is how excited on the sidelines he gets and his massive amounts of gum chewing.
Our special teams, outside Boswell, have been pretty average, I think? Unless I am missing something
If he didn’t aggressively chew huge wads of gum, would anyone give a fuck about him? Highly doubt it. We rarely have big special teams plays
I understand his popularity and he’s done a good job but if he does go then I can live with it. The new HC should be able to bring in as many positional coaches of his choosing as he wants.
Please god yes
LOL, Danny Smith was as good at his job as the rest of the Steelers coaches who will find themselves unemployed. I recall Baltimore returning a kick to almost midfield on the drive where Loop missed the field goal. People also wanted to launch him into the sun early in his Steelers coaching career, specifically when Josh Scobee was sucking ass in 2015.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Nooooo! He was the only assistant I cared about keeping! 😢
This one hurts 😔
Seems like a good guy, but other than Boz and Skowranek our special teams has been average for a long time.
Aww. I was hoping Danny would stick around.
He’s the only coach I want them to keep
I hate this and I hate them and I hate you for telling me
Why are people sad? This is what we wanted: a full clean out and rebuild.
