This may be old news, but I had never heard this story before, so it was new news to me.

On Josh Ward's show Saturday morning, Daniel Hood was telling a story about Chuck Smith's incompetence as DL coach in 2010. He said the too-many-men-on-the-field fiasco at LSU was directly due to Smith. At that point, he said, it was known that Smith would not be retained for the 2011 season, so Dooley and other coaches spent the rest of the season sabotaging Smith's headset so that it wouldn't work, or setting it to a different frequency, to keep him from communicating with the rest of the staff. Basically, he was kept clueless on gamedays and never caught on himself, according to Hood. One of the most bizarre things I've ever heard.

That is some chicken-shizzle stuff. What a pathetic staff

that might explain some of the interesting comments and reactions when he wasn't retained

Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.

Wow.  Dooley should have had the balls to go ahead and fire him, or at least tell him he couldn't wear headsets anymore or make game decisions.  Very chicken shizzle.

And for all that, maybe Dooley misjudged Chuck Smith....

Maybe Chuck was right and all the other coaches were wrong.  With that staff, it certainly seems plausible.

I would not be surprised.
