What if Steve Smith Sr. coached Panthers WRs next year

[WarHeel]

I'm not going to pretend to know whether or not SSSr would adequately coach at the NFL level, but some of y'all gotta realize this isn't the same hot head from 10+ years ago that was busting teammates faces. I can speak with certainty though, we wouldn't see the lackadaisical play by some of our current wideouts that I saw this year if Smitty had any authority over the matter.

This has to be the greatest idea ever. I have no insight as to how things ended personally between Steve and our staff/management, but we could really use somebody like smitty to inspire our players.

He just retired to spend more time with his kids, same with Proehl.

Yea i get that. Some of you guys pooped on this idea, some of you guys liked the idea. I think we should at least give him the offer. Either now, or down the road a couple of years. Some of you said that former players dont always make good coaches, which is true. But the Panthers have had a very good history when it comes to former players becoming coaches: Ricky Proehl WR coach, Sam Mills Linebackers coach, and lets not forget; our Head coach Ron Rivera is also a former player.

Not NO, but hell NO!  Smitty is a great receiver but I don't think he is coaching material.

That's good because I think Steve Smith would end up choking Kelvin Benjamin out, if he didn't put forth the effort like he did this year. KB got to come back better next season.

Smith would likely be a terrible coach. As a player he wouldn't even acknowledge rookies and held petty grudges and let his emotions out of control. All things which would make him an awful coach.  Besides he wouldn't want to take a huge paycut when he has been preparing himself for either a career in broadcasting or finance for years. 

I think he would be an interesting broadcaster.

Steve Smith as a coach, in a word, no.
