Rumor Mill: John Curtis Patriots Defensive Coordinator Linked to Rival School
John Curtis Patriots defensive coordinator, Michael Smith, has been linked to a potential coaching vacancy at rival school, Archbishop Rummel Raiders. Smith has been with the Patriots since 2018, helping the team secure a 34-8 record over the past four seasons, including two state championships. The 2022 state title marked the program's 10th overall championship. If Smith were to depart, it could have a significant impact on the Patriots' recruiting efforts, particularly in the defensive backfield. The Raiders have a strong tradition of producing top defensive talent, and Smith's presence could help them secure key commitments. The Patriots' administration has yet to comment on the situation, but sources close to the program indicate that Smith's departure is a possibility.
