Bruce Smith has been on the sideline of every major game since the late 90s. I think he is our ticket to the big show. I can't say how he would be as a coach, but I do think he can help us land some of the 4* and 5* recruits we keep missing. Put him on the staff to simply go after top tier recruits. This isn't meant to be against Stiney. I am not suggesting he spends hours each week watching game tape either. Just send him on a dozen or so assignments each year to land the big fish that keep getting away.

Hmm... seems like an interesting idea. I think you may be on to something.
Not sure about Bruce, but we always have lacked bringing in those top recruits. We develop our three stars, but obviously those three stars haven't won us BCS bowls or a title. To take the next step, we need top-tier talent.
He would laugh Beamer out of the building.
From what I saw tonight, we're fine with Bud and Charlie Wiles. Still, I hope to see big things out of the Spawn of Bruce: Alston.
How about we hire Bruce Smith as our new AD? He'd look a lot snazzier in those Fighting Gobbler pants than Weaver.
On the flip side of the argument, there's been zero indication that Bruce Smith even wants to be a coach. He's a great ambassador for our program and loves doing that, but maybe that's his preferred role as an alum.
Forget that, Bruce Smith still looks like he could throw on some pads and get out there.
Kidding of course, Buds D played like men last night. I think this is a great idea. Put him on staff so he doesn't violate the gutless NCAA rules on boosters, and let him walk into the living room of kids that dream of being great D linemen.
If that's the case we should give Kevin Jones a spot on our staff and Antonio Freeman.
Or maybe Frank Beamer.
Oh sh!t, forgot. My bad.
We should add Marcus Vick :/ kidding lol

In addition to coaching how to read defenses, he could teach our offense how to hold up the McDonald's on Turner Street.
