The Pittsburgh Steelers fared poorly in many aspects of the NFLPA’s report card outside of head coach Mike Tomlin, but they also have one of the Players Association’s worst-regarded head coaches on their staff. New offensive coordinator Arthur Smith ranked 30th among head coaches in that capacity with the Atlanta Falcons last year.
Atlanta ranked 25th overall, only slightly better than the Steelers, but it ranked ninth in ownership. The Steelers ranked 31st in ownership because players don’t believe Art Rooney II invests enough in the facilities. But Tomlin is far better regarded as a head coach than Smith’s players viewed him last year.
