The Miami Dolphins have had a potent offense through the first 10 weeks of their 2022 campaign – they’re first under head coach Mike McDaniel.
While it’s been the head coach and the players who have received most of the credit for their success, offensive coordinator Frank Smith brought a ton of experience in developing young talent to South Florida this offseason.
Now, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Smith could be a name that other teams look at as a head coach candidate in the coming cycles.
Here’s what Pelissero wrote about Smith on Thursday:
“Highly regarded in league circles, Smith is in his 13th season as an NFL coach, mostly working with tight ends and offensive line. His close relationships with players and role in developing the likes of Raiders tight end Darren Waller and Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater speak to his strong personal skills. It’s no surprise he, along with head coach and play-caller Mike McDaniel, have Miami utilizing all its weapons at a high level. Smith’s heavily involved in game planning and with an offensive line that keeps playing better and better.”
Smith’s leadership and experience would be sorely missed in Miami, but his resume speaks for itself, even if he’s not calling plays for the Dolphins.
