NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The guy Arthur Smith is replacing as the Titans' offensive coordinator could not have better things to say about Smith.

“I just have a lot of respect for him. Not only as a football coach, but as a man. I think he is of the highest character. He’s a good family man, he loves his wife and kids, he’s a fun guy to be around. I think he is exactly what you look for when you are trying to hire people.”

One former Titans offensive coach told me “LaFleur better have an Arthur in Green Bay."
