When the Pittsburgh Steelers hired Arthur Smith as their new offensive coordinator this offseason, he was coming off a rough time as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons went 7-10 all three seasons Smith was the head coach. Couple that with Smith’s run-first approach, and there was a lot of pushback on the hiring.
However, there has been plenty of support from those in the football world. A big part of that stems from Smith’s two years as offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. The Titans finished top 10 in the league in points scored in each of his seasons.
