Steelers Expected to Hire Arthur Smith as New Offensive Coordinator
Former Falcons Head Coach to Bring Run-Heavy Offense to Pittsburgh
- Arthur Smith, the former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, is expected to be hired as the new offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Smith's tenure in Atlanta was marked by three consecutive 7-10 seasons and a struggling offense, leading to his dismissal.
- Prior to his stint with the Falcons, Smith served as the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, where he led a successful run-heavy offense.
- Smith's hiring indicates the Steelers' intention to emphasize their run game, leveraging their running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
- Questions remain about how Smith will handle the Steelers' quarterback situation, as his time in Atlanta was marked by difficulties in this area.
