Rumors Swirl Around Hazelwood Central's OC
Hazelwood Central's offensive coordinator, Mike Smith, has reportedly been fielding offers from several FBS programs, sources close to the situation confirm. Smith, who has been with the Hawks since 2018, has been instrumental in the team's success, leading the offense to a 4-year average of 32 points per game. Under his guidance, the Hawks have compiled a 35-15 record, including a 2019 district championship. If Smith were to depart, it would be a significant loss for the program, as he has been a key recruiter, helping to attract top talent from the St. Louis area. With several key players returning, including quarterback Tyler Johnson, the Hawks are expected to be a top contender in the 2026 season. However, the uncertainty surrounding Smith's future has created a sense of unease among fans and players alike.
