Like him or not, Mike Smith has talent, and you'll see him on an NFL sideline again very soon

Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith will find himself on an NFL sideline in the not-so-distant future. Smith was fired almost a year ago after the Falcons failed to make the playoffs in consecutive years. Stepping away for a year was the right thing to do. He was rumored to be a candidate for at least one assistant job, but that didn't pan out. Whether that was Smith's decision is debatable. What's foolish is to think that he's done in the NFL.

Jason La Canfora took a detailed look at some potential coaching candidates ahead of the looming off-season.
