The Houston Texans announced their 2019 assistant coaching staff, and one of their new additions is someone who’s been with the Seattle Seahawks since 2011.
Carl Smith, who served as the Seahawks’ quarterbacks coach from 2011-2017, and was associate head coach in 2018, is now going to be Houston’s quarterbacks coach entering next season. The 70-year-old will be reunited with his son Tracy Smith, who is the Texans’ assistant special teams coordinator.
Carl’s connections with Pete Carroll trace all the way back to 1982, when Carroll was the NC State defensive coordinator and Smith was the offensive coordinator.
