    I would take Smith in a heart beat. He was a good defensive coordinator for Jack Del Rio in Jacksonville. Matt Ryan became over rated playing for him.

    Morons who don't want Smith would have also passed on Tom Coughlin in 2005.

    He's not sexy, he's not some kid genius. He is just a solid coach who will likely have a decent defense, run the ball and provide a platform for our QB to succeed.

    Smith had 5 straight winning seasons in which they averaged 11 wins a year. In his 7 seasons at Atlanta they averaged 9.4 wins a year.

    In the 5 straight winning seasons they averaged 10th in total defense and were never ranked below 14th. If he has decent talent he will put a solid competitive defense on the field.

    Mike Smith has a good track record, but there's something about his personality (as seen on Hard Knocks) that I just can't get behind. Much the same feeling I have about Philbin. They're just.. too mellow I guess.

    Are you planning on going on a date with the next Titans next head coach? Who the hell cares what kind of personality the coach has? As long as they do their job and help build a winning team...

    Umm their personality has a huge impact on how players will perform under their leadership. What I'm saying is, I have a hard time seeing myself be motivated by Mike Smith and therefore I worry if other player would feel the same.

    Are you retarded? You are holding this thread back.

    How is a coach with 5 winning seasons out of 7 garbage? This from a fan of a team that is picking 1st. Pull your head out of your butt.

    What are you talking about? He was 6-10 his last season in Atlanta a 6-10 season with the titans next year would make him a coach of the year candidate.

    If somebody started a Kliff Kingsbury thread the same people who think Smith is garbage would be all for it. Oh yeah man young genius coach! Of course he loses 6 games a year at Texas Tech but he is brilliant and has personality!

    Smith who has a better winning percentage in the nfl than Kingsbury has in college is called garbage.

    I know what some of you guys are worried about. Smith would take this 2-14-3-13 trash team and win 8 games with them and we would lose our top pick in the draft.

    You guys think that is the objective, to get a high pick! Smith is garbage! He won't get us the top pick!
