Did we just hire Brad Seely's replacement?

Of course it doesn't.

Lookin' into the crystal ball of the future my friend. Seely was already interviewed for the Colt's HC position this year. He will be a hot commodity when we go to the playoffs again. I don't think he will stay once we win the SuperBowl.

I truly expect him to become a HC next year or no later than the year after. He has the Assistant HC position now and helps Harbaugh with the game, you can see it on the field. I thought I remember reading last year that he wants to be a HC soon.

That's why I believe this guy, Tracy Smith, will be his heir apparent as Seely was his mentor in Cleveland and can continue that role with him. Smith seems like a great commodity for us in ST. He knows the system and can continue it once Seely leaves...and he will, too.

All the good to great ones do. It's just a matter of time.

Seely is a good special teams coach however I think its very unlikely he will ever be a head coach. Special teams to head coach has only happened once before so the odds stacked against him.

That is great news for the team and my thoughts on the matter as well
