The Pittsburgh Steelers in 2023 realized they had a problem. They knew they could win close games thanks to their defense. However, they also knew they could not depend on a Matt Canada-led offense to help win games. So they did the unthinkable: they fired a coach mid-season.
However, the Steelers recognized that Canada was not the source of all their problems on offense. They brought in former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith as the new offensive coordinator to replace Canada. But they also knew they needed better play at the quarterback position as well as on the offensive line.
