After posting the poll, I read Smith's bio on Herdzone. One of his attributes is listed as his recruiting ability. The question is still valid from a coaching perspective. My vote no was based on the fact that I think the poor play on the DL (primarily DT) was based on the lack of quality personell. If you can tag Smith for failing to recruit sufficient DTs (since 2005), then maybe the Ax was justified. However, if Snyder shortens the timeframe for results for Smith, shouldn't the same test be used for him? Which leads me back to: Scapegoat.
