Super Bowl-winning coaches Brian Billick, Mike Smith to speak at Arizona's 'Be a P.R.O.' Coaching Clinic

Two Super Bowl-winning coaches, Brian Billick and Mike Smith, will take part in Arizona’s “Be a P.R.O.” Coaching Clinic from March 24-25.

Billick and Smith will trek to Tucson after most recently coaching against each other in the Hula Bowl, a college all-star showcase for players preparing for the NFL draft. Former UA defensive end Jalen Harris was the UA’s representative in the Hula Bowl this year.

In his first season as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in 2008, Smith was named the AP Coach of the Year and was also a three-time Sporting News Coach of the Year recipient. He was a defensive assistant under Billick with the Baltimore Ravens and helped the franchise win a Super Bowl during the 2000 season. Smith last coached in the NFL in 2018, when he was defensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
