Does anyone else wonder if Ray Rhodes was brought in to be Richard Smith's successor if the defense does not show marked improvement this year?

I doubt it. Ray had gotten out of coaching for health reasons. I think he took this job because he had gotten bored, it was close to his hometown (Mexia), and it was a position that would let him work with the players but not be as grueling and time consuming as being a full time coordinator would be. I just don't think he would want it. If the defense is getting torched and Smith got fired mid-season I could see him taking over as the interim DC....but I don't thing it would be a permanent long term deal.

not really. i remember rhodes having a heart issue of some sort so he prefers the limitation of db coach instead of the pressure of handling it all. or something like that...

besides, it's not like frank bush a.k.a. kubiak's first choice isn't on the staff already. really, i understand the limitations of youth and injuries...but i believe richard smith's days are seriously numbered if this defense doesn't come out with an attitude. after 2 years (and however many games he gets this year) people need a head to roll to feel better about how lackluster our defense has been.
