If there's a dogfight for the playoffs, I can see them riding smith as long as they can and worrying about the playoffs if they get there.

The usual story with the usual results. Longer term thinking is required. ANd you have to show some faith in the kids at some point, or you stunt their development. Also (last year):
Record with Smith: 25-22-6, .528
Record with the others: 11-11-4, .500
It isn't a huge step in their development to close that gap.
