You can cross another potential name off of Robert Saleh\u2019s list of potential OCs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Smith did get his start in coaching at the college level when he was a graduate assistant at North Carolina in 2006. The following season, he got a job with Washington and has been in the NFL ever since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Honestly, I\u2019m glad that Art won\u2019t be coming back as the OC. He was great here with Derrick Henry, Ryan Tannehill, and A.J. Brown, but has been unable to replicate that success in his last two stops &#8211; first as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and second as the OC of the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">All eyes for the Titans continue to be on Brian Daboll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I did not see this one coming.
