Texans coach Lovie Smith played Motown music at rookie minicamp practice

Lovie Smith is no stranger to old school R&B. The former 2005 NFL coach fo the year compared his Tampa 2 defense to the timeless genre.

“I wake up every day to music,” Smith said. “I’m a music guy, to say the least. You can tell I’m probably a little bit more towards Motown than rap music, that’s probably easy to see. But you kind of start practice off the same way just about everywhere I’ve been.”
