SoFlaJets Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Jets coach bails Jets Blog By BRIAN COSTELLO Last Updated: 2:14 AM, January 18, 2012 Mike Smith, who was hired as the Jets outside linebackers coach just two weeks ago, is leaving the team to become the assistant defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at West Virginia University. Smith, 30, had been a coaching intern for two seasons with the Jets. He was widely credited by the coaching staff for the development of outside linebacker Aaron Maybin. When the team let Jeff Weeks go after the season, Rex Ryan promoted Smith to the position. Smith played at Texas Tech when West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen was an assistant coach there.

Jetfan13 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 wouldn't quite call that bailing. A nice step up for him IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 OLB coach here or DC at a Big 12 school. Yeah, clearly he bailed. Assistant DC. But at 30 years old, for a guy who was an intern 3 weeks ago, I'd say it's a pretty good gig. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Assistant DC. But at 30 years old, for a guy who was an intern 3 weeks ago, I'd say it's a pretty good gig. Good for him. It's a damn good gig considering where he was last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bLguerriero1 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 interning in the nfl isnt like interning at google or something.. most of the intern coaches have like 6-7 years of experience... just wanted to clarify but this is why it is known as the "coaching carousel", he didn't bail, if anything the Jets staff is probably proud one of their guys is moving up in the football world.. that's what we call a coaching tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Jets did hold back Callahan last year, which ticked him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
