Richard Smith spent the past ten years with the Raiders, working his way up the ranks under multiple head coaching changes. Today he took another step up, only this time it also involved switching teams.
Smith was named the defensive line coach for the Bears Tuesday, joining new head coach Matt Eberflus’s staff.
Smith joined the Raiders in 2012 as a defensive assistant on Dennis Allen’s staff. He stayed on as a defensive quality control coach on Jack Del Rio’s staff and spent a season as outside linebackers coach (2017).
