San Jose State’s Elite Running Backs Coach, Not a Player
Michael Smith is not a college or high school football athlete—he is the San Jose State Spartans’ Running Backs Coach, hired in March 2024 after serving as Associate Head Coach and Run Game Coordinator at Northern Colorado. While he helped the Spartans’ offense achieve over 1,000 rushing yards and 4,000 passing yards in 2024, his role is strategic leadership, not on-field performance. There is no injury history, intensity level, or personality trait relevant to player fit because he is not a player. If your team seeks coaching expertise in run-game development, Smith is an ideal fit; if you seek a linebacker (LB) player, he is not the right candidate.
