Rumor Swirls Around East St. Louis OC's FBS Suitors
East St. Louis Flyers offensive coordinator, James Smith, is reportedly fielding offers from multiple Football Bowl Subdivision programs, sources close to the situation confirm. A 10-year veteran of the Flyers' staff, Smith has been instrumental in the team's success, helping to guide the program to a 45-15 record over the past five seasons, including a 2019 Class 6A state championship. Should Smith depart, the Flyers would undoubtedly feel the impact, particularly on the recruiting trail. East St. Louis has consistently been one of the top programs in the state, and Smith's presence has been a major draw for top talent. The Flyers' coaching staff would need to quickly find a suitable replacement to maintain their status as a powerhouse in Illinois high school football.
