HOUSTON -- Houston Texans coach Lovie Smith sat down in a media room chair and imitated how he wakes up in the morning.
Smith closed his eyes and rolled his head back.
“I have alarms,” Smith told ESPN while pretending to be asleep. “This morning, 4:45.”
Smith abruptly snapped his head forward, eyes open and added “wide awake,” in reference to how football, even in his 12th season as a NFL head coach, still injects a jolting rush.
