Pittsburgh Steelers first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith was in the news this week as UNC, who recently informed their head coach he would not be returning for 2025, reached out to Arthur Smith to gauge interest in being their head coach. According to Ian Rapoport on X, Smith informed UNC that he is not a candidate and he wants to stay with the Steelers for now.
