Former Falcons coach Mike Smith was on Super Bowl radio row to discuss his book early Tuesday.
Smith re-iterated that he was “done” with coaching and that he planned to do a lot of fishing before heading to appear on 92.9 The Game.
Smith’s book is titled “You Win in the Locker Room first.”
Smith was most recently with the Buccaneers as defensive coordinator, but was dismissed last season.
He was head coach of the Falcons from 2008-14 and was 66-46. He posted five straight winning seasons after the franchise had never had back-to-back winning seasons. After two down seasons of 4-12 in 2013 and 6-12 in 2014, Smith was dismissed.
Smith remains the coach with the most wins in franchise history.
He went to the playoffs in four of seven seasons and the NFC Championship game after the 2012 season.
He was named Associated Press coach of the year in 2008.

This is the guy that coached Aaron Donald & Ra'Shede Hageman in the Senior Bowl and then drafted Hageman.
