During an interview with "Brock and Salk" on 710 ESPN Seattle, Sherman Smith made it clear that he was fired as the Seahawks running backs coach. It wasn't his decision to leave. "We went into the meeting, Pete [Carroll] just started talking about, he thought it was time about making a change," Smith said. "And it surprised me because I thought I would be the one more or less leading the conversation -- either saying I hadn't decided to retire yet or I'm going to coach another year. But I didn't think it would be him saying, ‘I want to make a change.' …I may not like it, but that's his decision, and I'm fine with it."
