Nine games into his first season as offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Arthur Smith is pushing all the right buttons and has the Steelers’ offense rolling.
He’s doing exactly what many expected when the Steelers hired him in February to fix the offense.
That fix might not last long as Smith could find himself back in the head-coaching market after the 2024 season.
For Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr, Smith is one of the top candidates for a head coaching job next season in the NFL.
In a piece highlighting the 27 top head coach candidates in the NFL, Smith was featured by Orr, which shouldn’t be a surprise considering Smith was a head coach for three years in Atlanta before being fired and landing in Pittsburgh.
