He was a force to be reckoned with on the Dallas Cowboys, and he is still viewed as one of the best, if not the best, players in franchise history.
Smith was a big reason for the team’s championship run in the 1990s, winning three Super Bowls with the Cowboys.
He has remained a Cowboys supporter after his career and has often been asked to speak about the state of the team.
With the Cowboys entering into a new era with Brian Schottenheimer as their head coach, the crew at “Unsportsmanlike” on ESPN wanted to know his thoughts on the hiring, and what it meant for the future of the franchise.
The team might have been expecting a bigger response from Smith, who simply responded, “Next subject.”
Smith didn’t want to talk about Schottenheimer being the Cowboys’ newest head coach, but it’s unclear why he declined to answer.
He might have wanted to see another year or two under Mike McCarthy’s leadership, or perhaps he thinks that the Cowboys have bigger fish to fry than adding a new coach into the fold.
It’ll be interesting to see if Smith ever divulges more about this situation, or if he’ll stay tight-lipped about it.
Regardless, the Cowboys are looking to bounce back after their frustrating 2024 season, hoping to contend for a playoff spot in what is becoming a top-heavy NFC East with the emergence of the Washington Commanders.
