Arthur Smith is the latest former NFL head coach the Steelers’ Mike Tomlin has taken onto his staff. In Smith’s case, he signed on to be the team’s offensive coordinator. While he hopes to earn another head coaching job, it’s unclear how his start in Pittsburgh has helped him. After all, his offense ended the season on the skids.
But that wasn’t all on Arthur Smith, and it seems many around the league don’t hold it against him. That is the gist of what CBS NFL reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala said on 93.7 The Fan yesterday. Suffice is to say that he inherited a Steelers offense with a ton of problems.
