Smith adjusting to his secondary career
The question to Bill Belichick was simple: If there is any room for an extra staff member as part of the NFL's minority coaching program, could Smith be a part of it with the Patriots?
The answer was yes, although the way the situation unfolded was a bit unexpected. The 40-year-old Smith was scheduled to coach only through training camp, then return to Maryland to continue a career in real estate.
But Smith always had a knack for sticking around, didn't he?
By the time training camp ended, he had a permanent job. Smith is now a full-fledged member of Belichick's staff, working with the defensive backs alongside Joel Collier.
