Bills Hire NFL's First Full-Time Female Assistant Coach
http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/bills-hire-nfls-full-time-female-assistant-coach-36411533The NFL has its first full-time female coach.
Kathryn Smith was promoted by the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday night to take over as special teams quality control coach on Rex Ryan's staff.
She will assist special teams coordinator Danny Crossman and his assistant Eric Smith, filling the role that opened after Michael Hamlin was not retained following the season.
Smith's appointment comes after Jen Welter served a six-week training camp internship last summer coaching inside linebackers for the Arizona Cardinals.
Hopefully this is the beginning of more women in the game.
Does Baltimore still have a female trainer on staff??
