Maybe it is the fact Lovie Smith is on his third coaching gig. Maybe it is the fact Smith was the defensive coordinator in 2021. Maybe at 63 years old Smith is close to seeing it all.
Whatever the case, the new Houston Texans coach told reporters after organized team activities on Wednesday that there isn’t one aspect of the team that has surprised him to this point in the offseason.
“No, because I knew that our guys would come to work everyday,” Smith said at Houston Methodist Training Center. “I knew they would take coaching. I knew we had good football players, and I knew they were going to be excited about going through the process.”
