Players who were around the 2023 version of the Pittsburgh Steelers experienced something unprecedented for the organization. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada was fired in the middle of the season, which was big news for an organization known for patience and continuity. For the first time since hiring Todd Haley back in 2012, the Steelers went outside the organization and made Arthur Smith the new offensive coordinator.
Jaylen Warren was asked about Smith after the first padded practice and had some interesting things to say about his coaching style.
“He’s more assertive. There’s no question what he wants from you,” Warren said in a video posted by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on YouTube.
