Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has removed himself for consideration for the North Carolina vacancy, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport reported Sunday that Smith "recently informed UNC that he should not be considered a candidate."
Smith confirmed Thursday that his alma mater made preliminary contact with him after firing Mack Brown as its head coach. He maintained his commitment to the Steelers and said he's "got one of the best jobs in football right now."
