Sherman Smith is coming to the Redskins as Jim Zorn's offensive coordinator. After first informing the Titans that he was going to decline the offer and return to Tennessee, Smith had one more talk with Zorn. The Z-man, as Smith has continually called the Skins' new head coach in interviews with the Washington Post, apparently had a strong closing pitch and as a result Mr. Smith will be coming to Washington.
Oddly (now there's an upset, something odd in this situation), Smith will be over newly acquired running backs coach Stump Mitchell on the organizational chart. However, Mitchell has the title of "Assistant Head Coach—Running Backs" while Smith, who had the AHC title in Tennessee, will be not carry that title. He'll just be the OC.
It is assumed that Joe Bugel still will carry the Assistant Head Coach tag as he has since returning as offensive line coach in 2004.
