Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans) as running back coach, where he helped mold Eddie George into one of the league's elite running backs. The organization promoted Smith in 2006, giving him the title of assistant head coach in addition to his continuing duties as running back coach. In 2008, Smith left the Titans to join the Washington Redskins as offensive coordinator, reuniting with his former Seahawks teammate, Jim Zorn, who had been named head coach of the Redskins. After the 2009 season, Zorn was fired and Mike Shanahan was named as the new head coach in Washington. Smith was not retained on staff by Shanahan. Shortly thereafter Smith was reunited with his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, when hired as a position coach (running backs). He won his first Super Bowl title when the Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. As of February 17, 2017 Smith was no longer with the Seattle Seahawks due to a change to the position made by the head coach Pete Carroll. Personal life Smith's children are Shavonne, Sherman and Deland. Deland is the University of Notre Dame running backs coach Deland McCullough. The two had known each other since Smith was recruiting McCullough to the RedHawks when the latter was 17, but only learned they were related in 2017, as depicted in the Kendrick Brothers 2021 film Show Me the Father. His brother was former CFL All-Star Darrell K. Smith.
